Major changes to EPCs coming in 2026

18th February 2025, 1 year ago

Classic case of bureaucracy that's never actually done a real job and understands the work needed to achieve changes. Amazing I've been trying to get cavity wall insulation in 2 flats for 3 yrs. I can't even get someone to...

Socialism only hurts the poor, legislation and Tax only destroy industries.... This government is doomed to even higher debts, less tax collection and increased poverty and falling living standards. Because it puts it's narcissism a head of reality

Ben is useless he has no idea of the outcomes of his own actions, clearly a socialist. What's the thinking of a CEO who trying to delete his own organisation by killing his own customers.... Socialism

The whole concept is ideologically flawed. It's straight forward bureaucracy of state control, and will be one of the departments ripped out, in the next parliament. A new and better law could replace everyones data, after all it's not really...

This is one of those EU government bureaucracies that will be slashed under government reform post socialism. The state must be cut by 30%, do we really need something so soviet as this and funded by a subscription fee to...

It's hilarious how their socialist policies have helped create the very problem that they've now got to deal with, having forced landlords out of business, forced up rents and increased homelessness. To be so devoid of reality that you don't...

Reply to the comment left by Jack Craven at 30/11/2023 - 10:29Why are officials and the media so ignorant on this issue. The vast majority of mould is caused by condensation, and the condensation is due to lack of heating...

Shelter are one brain cell away from causing mass homelessness.... Which, is ironic

The Soviet Stasi is with us. The do gooders causing more problems than they solve, while adding to the homeless crisis. £10 an hour and a clipboard the new soviet state of bureaucracy wasting tax payers money

The risk reward balance is completely gone. its easy to lose £20,000 with a bad situation. That takes several years to recover. But now all the risks are high and you can get 5% in bond's while 6-8% in B2L...

Classic ignorance of Legislation and the so called unintended consequence.... They weren't unintended we all knew what would happen, so in 2015 there were 4.5m rental properties and now today there are only 2.82m So 1/3 of the properties have...

More Socialism and more property sell off by landlords. The estate agents day s 65% increase on last year.... Add in covid debts, mortgages and now reduction of capital gains.... Awaiting the great homelessness crisis of 2023 with another 300/400,000...

Socialism makes you Poorer. They attack the hard working to take the money they earn, and as a result the poor become poorer because the hard working self made won't play your game. I would urge all landlords to kick...

The problem are the lies for political gain, poor knowledge of the reality, and weak people not willing to understand the maths or understand the consequences. In my opinion, these are poorly educated people lacking any real thought. The NRLA...

Well it's added 20% to rents, so government should hold its hand up to rising Rents

Read More →

Not a surprise really. I lady rented a property had 43 applications instead of an average 10. Osborne S24 has killed the PRS with 10s thousands of forced sales due to loss making taxation, then add in legislation and the...

Read More →

Hilarious isn't it.... As soon as S24 came out in 2015, landlords said it would happen. Then they added No tenant fees Electrical inspection Covid non eviction Councils non cooperation, fines, empty home refurbishment It's an endless list of legislation,...

Last 2 relets I've had 15-20 applications per property

Rents are rising anyway as demand increases. I had 23 respondents for a recent flat, and the market has gone up by over 6% in the last 12m. Legislation is driving up costs and rents, the government is protecting tenants...

Was easier to pay them to go. I wrote off £8k of £12k debts to aid them leaving, instead of waiting for an eviction and losing another £10k on top of that, with little chance of getting anything back, was...
