So when the database is up and running, we'll be able to see actual comparables for rent increases. Rents can only increase if some tenants dont challenge the agreed initial rent or rent increase. Will there be pictures so we...

'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...

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,...

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

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...
