Reply to the comment left by Darren Peters at 02/10/2026 - 12:39I used to think that Crisis were non political. They were also a charity that I supported until I realised that they were singing from the same hymn sheet...

In addition to Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves and others there was also Jas Athwal the Labour MP for Ilford South. He also blamed his agent for his unlicensed HMO's and the substandard conditions his tenants were living in and got...

I have had issues with B. Gas for a long time. It is not unusual for them to say that they came out and there was no one in. I had this recently with the Gas safety certificate and the...

I think that the leasehold advisory service would advise you on this. This service was free for leaseholders and I think it still is. Their contact number is 02078322500 and you can book a free consultation They were initially set...

I have a property on Airbnb, in London under the 90 day rule. This gives me a reduced income but I am not prepared to let it again under an assured tenancy. Can anyone tell me what happens if I...

Labour expected the public to swallow this hogwash about building 1.5 million homes and now they are trying to backtrack, just as the Conservatives have done previously.

This tin - eared government were never prepared to listen to landlords. Some of my best tenants were from overseas who paid 6 months in advance and stayed for several years. Not surprised they are now having difficulties finding property...

I hope I am wrong but I think if a tenant now moves in and has agreed a certain rent he might be able to apply to the tribunal to have it assessed. I know Pennycook was in favour of...

I can envisage Battersea dogs and cats home having to build another wing to accommodate abandoned animals when reality dawns and some starry-eyed tenants cannot pay vet bills and other expenses associated with owning a pet. Having experience good and...
