I recently had a prospective tenant and a friend view a house. The tenant was not in any way able to afford the property, so we didn't go ahead. During our conversations with them, it came out that the friend...

I've had a few epc's done since the new rules came in and the requirements to achieve a c rating seem to have eased. Houses with solid brick walls which would only achieve a d rating before, are being passed...

Are you really going to continue letting your flat without a valid electrical condition report over a debt of £135. Letting is a business with up and downs. You say he is a vulnerable person with communication issues. Pay off...

This is typical left wing hypocrisy. We hear it so often. "This isn't fair"." The rich should pay more tax". "Evil landlords and second home owners are keeping the poor down". But it should always be done with someone else's...

Many people are missing the point of all of these changes. We have a government and local authorities who are waging an ideological war on "evil " landlords. No amount of reasonable argument can move an indoctrinated mind. This is...

Nottingham city council did a similar thing a few years ago. They sent out letters to me as landord and to my tenants headlined. "Intent to enter" we intend to enter your property to inspect it under the terms of...

I have 30 properties in Nottingham. Many let to tenants on benefits or with children or in receipt of a pip. Nottingham City Council sent out a flyer offering to help with these grants and boasting that they had already...

This drive for improved epc ratings is not for tenants. The message from the government is fundamentally dishonest. As a business, landlords have to pass on their costs to their customers, tenants. To suggest that landlords being forced to spend...

I'm a nottingham landlord with thirty properties in the city and Gedling wards. The contrast between the two is stark. Gedling have inspected my licenced properties and been helpful and friendly. They have issued my licences for a "mere" £700....

Why is anybody surprised at this revelation of incompetence and hypocrisy from Nottingham City Council. This is a Council that do their inspections of private rentals using Google earth, and by running up and down streets knocking on doors and...

Reply to the comment left by Susan Robinson at 15/03/2024 - 11:36Sadly, some council's will only accept that the tenant is responsible for the council tax during the fixed period and not in any continuing periodic tenancy. My council (Nottingham...

I assume Shelter, crisis and generation rent won't be interested as it's their hatred of private landlords that drives them. Ironically, it's the same with Nottingham City Council. What a state were in, none of this is the fault of...

Reply to the comment left by Mick Roberts at 09/02/2024 - 11:51Hi I've been a landlord in Nottingham for 25 years. Always housing those who were struggling to find places. When the section 24 tax changes were coming in, (originally...

Hi, as the others have said, a dehumidifier will work if you can persuade your tenants to use it. Some key points are,1 explain how condensation occurs and that it is a natural part of living in a draught free...

I think part of the confusion with s24 tax is that you get interest relief at the lower tax rate. HMRC assured me that, a lower rate tax payer ( which I was ) would not see any difference in...

Hi, to reply to Reluctant landlord, we still have the tenant. She has five children so we were reluctant to make them homeless. The s21 shook her up, so she pays on time now. We have raised her rent, but...

Be very wary of giving information to the council. They will invariably side with the tenant in any dispute. We had a similar s21 in force, the council (nottingham city) told us they would pay the tenants arrears if we...

Hello all. The idea of a national voice for all landlords is a good one. Like many of you, I'm a member of the NRLA. Although they report doing good work influencing the government about the coming reforms, we need...
