Private landlord for over 30 years.

When Zach Polanski says that rent controls work, he means that they are an effective bribe to the electorate. There are more tenants than landlords, and landlords would probably not vote for him anyway. The housing crisis is caused because...

I have no desire to penalise or put any pressure on anyone downsizing. It is a decision for the home owner themselves. However, stamp duty and Inheritance Tax act as a disincentive to downsizing. If the Government were to incentivise...

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. SHAC have only identified 147 instances out of the millions of rented homes, where the tenant has been overcharged (about one for every four parliamentary constituencies). Hardly the "hard evidence of the widespread...

The Green Party say, "The relationship between landlord and tenant is inherently and intrinsically exploitative." I don't think that is fair. There are some good tenants.

Why not? Under the Right to Rent Scheme, landlords are already unpaid Immigration Officials.

Yes, the housing available remains the same. The evected tenants will shuffle round and someone will either have to live in overcrowded accommodation, move back to their parents or become homeless.

Councillor Adilypour says, "We are doing everything we can to provide the most disadvantaged and vulnerable families in Lambeth with a safe, decent home." So is he giving up his home for a homeless family?

As usual, private landlords get blamed for everything. If immigration into the UK is not being properly controlled, then this is the fault of the Government. If the immigrants are here validly, then the private landlords are simply helping out...

It is not the fault of s21, it is simply supply and demand. The housing stock cannot meet the demand of the number of people and families. Therefore the price of renting and buying goes up. The result of this...

I think the Government should outflux.

If the brother is staying at the property under the rent a room scheme, this would not, in itself, create a CGT liability.

Why do you use the misleading expression, "which allows landlords to evict tenants without giving a reason". This implies that landlords are reneging on their contractual obligations, which is not the case. Why don't you write something like, "which allows...

Reply to the comment left by Mark Brown at 22/04/2023 - 17:07Judith is quite right in her comment. If a number of landlords wish to sell up, the market price will drop. This will give an incentive for people living...

Another cynical ploy by Sadiq Khan. This is simply a case of supply and demand. Demand for property in London exceeds supply. If rents are set artificially low, this will increase demand and make the housing shortage worse. However, this...

It is purely a matter of supply and demand. There is simply not enough properties for people to live in. If you leave it to market forces, the less well off will be forced into overcrowded, poor quality accommodation. If...

Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” Luke 12v13. Some things never change.

I am not an expert, but I think you would have to prove that the banks did not perform your particular contracts with care and skill. It would seem that, at the time, they had acted reasonably to lend you...

The Generation Rent logic is flawed. If changes to tenancy rules or anything else, makes being a landlord riskier or less profitable and rents do not rise, then some landlords will want to sell up. An increase in property sellers...

Reply to the comment left by Dr Rosalind Beck at 22/09/2017 - 13:26Actually if an individual donates £100 to charity by gift aid and is a 40% taxpayer, the charity reclaims £25 and taxpayer reclaims £25 (if it is put...

The reason property prices are increasing is simply a matter of supply and demand. The number of homes required for various reasons is increasing in most parts of the country faster than the increase in new building. Therefore the price...
