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!

Good to see the Government taking notice of what the NRLA have to say when it surveyed it's membership. NRLA you have no influence on governments, so it's time you started acting for your members, while you still have some.
I must be in a unique position! House prices in four different areas of the country where I own property have declined in the last couple of years. Rents up steadily.
Surely the NRLA should be advising that any responsible landlords NOT to take riskier tenants. As an organisation that tries to make out they support and represent good landlords they would be failling if they didn't!
Rubbish! Just look at the number of reductions on Rightmove listing. Also speak to estate agents, they will tell you, there are buyers out there "if you price realistically", another words lower than properties in the area sold for last...
Courts can't cope now and the workload will increase substancially. I'm hearing people waitng more than a year to get back their properties, where really it should be less than a month.

Interesting. I know of 4 people who have not been able to sell their properties in the last 9 months. "Well priced homes" maybe selling, so that means less than they were valued at 2 or 3 years ago from...
The NRLA like shelter have now just become an organisation that just looks after itself. A large number of paid staff that achieve little and pretend to have the ear of government and the PRS.
At the end of the day, sensible landlords will choose who they want, not someone who does not fit their criteria. I'd rather leave a property empty than have a tenant who does not fit MY criteria. MY HOUSE -...

Talk of landlords selling has been going on since S24 was introduced. Many councils now say they are spending large amounts housing people in hotels etc., which is damaging their budgets. I spoke with people from councils involved in housing...
When will Beadle accept that a governemt doesn't listen to what an organistation who supposedly represent landlords advise? The best action would be come out an advise that being a landlord is now a high risk investment and due to...

In that case - another one of mine will be sold before the new regulations come in.

Landlords will be increasing rent in anticipation of any potential licence scheme, let alone those already proposed!
