You would have thought someone representing landlords (NRLA) would be putting all these questions to government so landlords/tenants can prepare. Perhaps they could survey their membership on this?
So, I may potentially have to spend 10k to save my tenants £210 a year. How long will it take me to get my 10k investment back? Will depend on the additional return it generates. So, in order to get...
I'm putting rents up and will explain to tenants why. If they don't understand and go to tribunal, the property will be sold. If I can't make a decent return for the risk involved, I'll invest elsewhere.
So, thickheads, will this road map tell me where the money is coming from to pay for this nonsense and where my tenants will live while these changes are made?
Maybe some landlords have had to bankroll their investment properties themselves to stop going into arreas. Especially if the tenant is not paying and they know the wait time to get back posession is around a year!
Where everyone including govenments miss the point is, maintenance costs have risen far higher than inflation as have other landlord costs, - insurance, mortgages, accountant fees, etc., then add in MTD fees, database fees and other fees likley down the...
Good Post, which I'm sure is not uncommon. It's been made more difficult now days simply because councils don't have the resources to house many of those that are evicted. They expect the landlord to deal with the problem. As...
Would have been nice if the NRLA has asked it’s members what they would like to see, instead of them thinking they themselves have a clue what the private landlord needs in order to continue to operate successfully in the...
When these rumours get reported, it make people re-consider their plans. I have already given one of my tenants notice to leave on the back of previous CGT increases that may or may not happen. If I'm going to be...
I keep hearing how the PRS is becoming more professional etc., with more landlords operating as LTD companies etc. But, those of us professiona landlords who bought in our own names can't just switch to a ltd structure and alot...
I'm all for the rogue landlords being fined and ideally banished from the sector, but as always, the NRLA focusing on the issues "they believe" will give them more credibility with the government. Ideally the NRLA need to get rid...
Well....do you really think anyone involved with creating government policy around the PRS would read this and if they did take note of the findings? They don't even act on their own findings!

I can't see how, as long as you have issued the correct s8 notice with the grounds and can prove it.
