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...

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...

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

Reply to the comment left by Reluctant Landlord at 04/06/2026 - 12:58Thank you Reluctant Landlord. I don't ever take anyone who fails affordability checks but would still like a guarantor for the reasonably hight earning prospective tenants I have lined...

Please can someone tell me which of 2 letting agents are correct? 1. You can have a guarantor for any tenant as long as you dont discriminate and do it for all your tenants 2. You can only have a...
