Reply to the comment left by Bristol Landlord at 29/03/2021 - 14:13I couldn't agree more. It was the usual Treasury nonsense that when inspected stopped you doing something useful. As for getting an approved supplier to respond, that was a...

Mick Can I suggest a letter to a (non-Tory) local MP and also contact a national newspaper.

So, first thing (OK, after the Desmond CIL corruption) is to help their land banking donors NOT build.

1. Perhaps give the CA's report reference: it's https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/about-us/how-citizens-advice-works/media/press-releases/millions-facing-financial-cliff-edge-when-coronavirus-protections-end2/ 2. I would have thought 70% renewing when there is no chance of viewing anywhere else should be considered very low. 3. Why is a sample size of 2016 "small"? It's...

Thank for bringing this up. Trying to keep awake, I am wading through the judgement as, if upheld, it has very significant implications. As usual the legalese is formidable, but I loved this footnote, although it's probably not PC: "Reading...

Mick, I think you would get more traction by sending your letter to the major newspapers. I bet one of them would take it up as it's clearly a scandal. I do empathise with you.

I live in a constituency with a massive majority and so, like most people, am effectively disenfranchised. It seems that spoiled ballot papers are shown to the candidates, so I have mainly just written my views on some topic. I...

The Laffer Curve is doctrinaire nonsense and useless for guiding policy. It's clear Revenue =0 at tax rate =0% and at a tax rate =100% but LC gives no guide as to where revenue is maximised, even if that's what...

The RLA cherry picked what it wanted to from what it paid for. The MMU paper is much more nuanced than this. But I'm afraid that with just 16 in-depth interviews and a response rate of 2% (1,405 from 70,000)...

Politicians often resort to using nominal rather than real (i.e., adjusted for inflation) figures to boast about how well they've done. Their usage is as otiose as the usage here. If nominal data were relevant then the average Zimbabwean would...

Reply to the comment left by Appalled Landlord at 16/10/2018 - 15:12I'm referrring to the whole series of posts about Shelter. But let me take this: "She said “people don’t have the stability at the moment, they can be chucked...

Reply to the comment left by Luke P at 16/10/2018 - 13:14Precisely what do you disagree with?

Reply to the comment left by Seething Landlord at 16/10/2018 - 14:12Hear hear. The informative articles are great and I've learned a lot. The nearly constant deliberate misinterpretation of comments by Shelter shows a rather unhealthy fixation. Concentrate on battles...

Reply to the comment left by John MacAlevey at 29/08/2018 - 10:44Wrong about publicans. See e.g. https://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2015/05/21/When-is-it-legal-to-refuse-entry I doubt what you say is true about car rental companies either. I'm just pointing out that one can get into a real...

Getting back to the SDLT topic away from the "we used to eat broken glass" themes**. Parts of my company's business was to do up fairly grotty properties. We found that when we'd improved a couple in a street many...

Bravo I have increasingly come to the conclusion that Mick should be made Minister of Housing. I suspect that in 5 years time we would have a properly functioning housing system.

Can I just point out that the LA rates for fostering are definitely not high. In fact, less than £1 an hour and that's for everything. See e.g. https://www.gov.uk/foster-carers/help-with-the-cost-of-fostering On Wednesday last I went to the funeral of a wonderful...

Reply to the comment left by Tricia Forrester at 08/02/2018 - 20:35If you get the cleaing/maintenance done through an agent then likely as not you'll get VAT added on - just another extra cost. My remark about 20%+VAT is founded...

Reply to the comment left by Adam Hosker at 06/02/2018 - 16:32Adam, if there is more than one ombudsman the regulated companies play one off against the other. I can cite EE who swapped ombudsman when they were rightly losing...

Reply to the comment left by Bill Morgan at 06/02/2018 - 00:49Bill, the converse is that rates are very high in the summer and other holiday periods, which is when you as owner don't want to go anyway (too crowded)....
