To be honest I could not care less what a key board warrior thinks about me as a landlord. I run a very effective business supplying accommodation to a range of people. None of them on benefits ( I left...

Considering the 2004 housing act brought in mandatory and selective licensing 22 years ago and we are still listening to local authorities banging on about tenants have a 'right' to live in a safe and warm home being protected by...

As a landlord in Wales since 1986 it annoys me to watch and listen to these politicians kick this housing ball around when its ordinary people who suffer from their gross mis management and incompetence. The Welsh population suffer at...

Foreign ownership is no indicator of anything whatsoever. I would guess that 100% of these 200,000 only own the properties and are not tax residents in the UK.

Selective licensing is an interesting concept as it is usually for a 5 year period in an area that may be designated high density letting, problems with anti social behaviours and almost always sold as ' a benefit to the...

The really amazing part of this article is not the size of the UK residential sector but that its a little more than the gap that the UK has between its income and its expenditure. For the financial year 2023...

Green party MSP Maggie Chapman otherwise known as Chief Watermelon, green on the outside but red on the inside! Reading this makes me smile on one hand as the level of ignorance is shocking but I cant help but feel...

So I'm a little confused, are Ealing council now saying that selective licensing hasn't worked? Is that why they are ' cracking down' . Surely the licensed properties were inspected at the beginning of the licensing period? So if the...

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 04/12/2024 - 15:51I guess that depends on the agents, we self manage and only use agents to tenant find as in my experience we have had far less problems with these...

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 04/12/2024 - 10:04How do agents get money out of tenants renewing ASTs? The tenants fees act in 2019 stopped all tenant fees didn't it?

Reply to the comment left by Ryan Stevens at 29/11/2024 - 15:23That's exactly what's happening, in fact we are looking at our company portfolio and by the end of 2025 our minimum rent will be just under a £1000 per...

If you take a look at Rent Smart Wales the level of information that's now required on each property is onerous and very intrusive. Furthermore what was meant to be a landlords register has turned into the Welsh Governments hit...

I find this idea about damp and mould very irritating. Firstly lets separate damp, water ingress and mould as different issues. If there is rising damp its the property owners responsibility to deal with it , if its water ingress...

This article is a little misleading to be honest. We are VAT registered but can only reclaim VAT if the property is elected for VAT, which means we charge vat on the rent. Furthermore all new builds are exempt from...

On the face of many different surveys it seems that the PRS is changing from predominantly smaller landlords to larger more corporate ones. Assuming the average landlord had only one or two properties and the larger more corporate ones have...

Ben Beadle doesn’t represent landlords, in fact at the last NRLA roadshow no open questions are allowed and are moderated via an App. Personally the more legislation the higher our rents increase. Remember the NRLA make their money from more...
