Reply to the comment left by maurice1 dev at 02/09/2025 - 14:22Hi Maurice, The agent who has bought the company should be able to help with this. They have bought the company after all so, although it's not their *fault*...

This. Switch to a local agent and get them to do the 'local' legwork for you. But don't mess them about - you need to be serious about switching (not a difficult decision, by the looks of it). We have...

What does this mean for the future of Freeholders, with the Leasehold Reform Act? Will it lead to more leasehold properties (because there will be more value to the leaseholder), or fewer because Freeholds will be deemed immoral if not...

Hi Steve, I own & run a Block Management company so I'm familiar with this process. Firstly, your agent should be answering all of these questions directly. Insurance premiums (from insurers) are up around 30%, due to the cost of...

Reply to the comment left by LL Minion at 21/06/2023 - 10:19Yes, that would be self-managing if you deal with the tenant yourself. If you have a family member doing it, they're just acting as your 'personal assistant' effectively. You...

Strike doesn't do lettings so, they may have bought Purple Bricks for the sales, but the Lomond Group have started buying the managed portfolio (not all of it) on the lettings side. If they're still operating, I'd love to know...

Liverpool Council have changed tact this time around. When they introduced landlord licensing in 2015, they wanted landlords to be the licence holders (because they are ultimately responsible). However, many landlords hide behind their agents while simultaneously blocking agents from...

Reply to the comment left by Phil Harris at 10/06/2023 - 05:04Hi Phil, If you're going to self-manage your properties, you do not need to part of a redress scheme. For self-managing landlords, this would effectively be a landlord register,...

This would revolutionise Landlords' lives! It seems strange that rent theft is seen as a civil, rather than criminal, issue. Hopefully, with more accidental professional Landlords (who in my experience seem to take rent theft badly) this will be brought...

This is so true for me. Today I agreed 3 sales, and all because the sellers realised that, even if a prospective purchaser DID come and offer their full asking price, it's highly likely that a mortgage valuer will down-value...

Happy Birthday Mark! I didn't realise what a diverse background you came from...! I went over to Florida a couple of years ago on a property-researching trip - would love to hear moe about your time over there? I'm hoping...

Whoops! I didn't mean any of MY landlords are like that! I've never had an unfair landlord as a client to be honest. And the deposit refunds are testament to that. However, I've helped new tenants deal with some horrible...

Hi Frazer, This is a constant problem for me at HOMEsure. No-one wants to pay for an inventory because, like insurance, you're only really glad you got it if you ever have to use it. It feels like dead money...
