'A home valued at £250,000 would attract a £1,200 annual bill at 0.48%' That's £100pcm more on the rent then. Better move rent up as high as possible now while you've got a chance of an increase at tribunal and...

How exactly is one to evidence exactly comparable rents which arent just advertised rents? It seems you'd need to be letting such a property yourself or have an agent who can offer help. Maybe rightmove will start listing agreed rental...

This should have been done BEFORE the changes were made with a clear timeframe and success criteria

I asked the council to send me the final council tax bill for a rental property to my home address as the property had been sold. Six months later they were about to issue a summons for non payment. They'd...

Crikey Mark, you've lost me, but I do invest in shares which I kind of understand, though I feel a crash is coming. Like a lot of people I don't know how to shelter from the imminent storm

Excellent article. Our successive governments are either A) dim or B) purposely destroying the country 25 years ago councils were so desperate for us to invest our money that they reduced stamp duty to zero in my area. Since then,...

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 10:27 Couldn't you just ask Chatgpt or similar to search through x, y, z and assess if X would make a good tenant? I must try it when I get back...

Of course landlords will not be funding the PRS database, tenants will. Tenants should wake up to the fact that rogue tenants are costing THEM money, just like shoplifting puts up the price of goods which are paid for

It would be more insightful to take figures from 2015, when section 24 came in, and compare with today as I suspect the main increase in rent is due to everything which has been imposed on landlords since then. I...

If you owned a whole house 20 years ago and now sell it, after tax you will only own about three quarters of a house. The government will have stolen the rest. Inflation is great for governments and rubbish for...

If you've waited 12 months for the fft and no decision has been made, why not issue another section 13 rent increase for a greater amount? (ie 2 years worth of rent increases) How would that be handled - would...

Woops, I misread the 2nd paragraph: 'Housing Secretary Steve Reed has written to England’s councils calling on them to use the powers at their disposal to tackle poor conditions in the private rented sector and protect tenants' I thought he...

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 12/06/2026 - 13:07We do have a population crisis but we also have a cost of renting crisis. I reckon one third of the rent goes on the tax regime, tenants not...

Maybe the TDS should take some responsibility for rising rents. When your carpet is destroyed and they say the life of a carpet is 5 years, that may add £2,000/5 to the annual rent for starters. Hands up who changes...

Well done government, how much has housing the homeless in B & B's cost you?
