The problem is the country is broke and the Chancellor is looking to take from any and every source she can think of to pay the interest on borrowings, the costs of supporting half the working age population who don't...

Reply to the comment left by Freda Blogs at 27/05/2025 - 13:04Almost certainly it will be Matthew Pennycook who has been responsible for making the terms of the Renters Rights Bill even more penal for landlords so I wouldn't expect...

Reply to the comment left by Judith Wordsworth at 21/03/2025 - 15:11I believe the nurses' home for the Royal Free has now been sold off to private investors. The accommodation was pretty ropey when my daughter lived at the home...

Some years ago one of our tenants quite proudly told us he had spent December's rent on Christmas presents and treats for his young son. For some, the roof over their head seems not to be a priority.

The wind is certainly blowing against us but we are already on board and out at sea so the option of building a stronger ship is not open to us. When the wind is against you all you can do...

They don't represent the majority of landlords because the majority of landlords are not members - chicken or egg?

Reply to the comment left by Robin Wilson at 18/02/2025 - 21:20Current government more like communist in my view. Personal choice and freedom of speech are being severely restricted while our chancellor professes to want growth whilst doing everything to...

Meanwhile, on our local BBC news this morning an item about university students in a large PBSA block having been without hot water since November and having to boil kettles for their ablutions and laundry. No mention of any fines...

Reply to the comment left by Wendy Whittaker-Large at 14/02/2025 - 19:04The only protest open to most of us is selling up, which we are doing as tenants vacate. The Neros are not just looking on, they are fiddling and...

On the subject of tenants' contribution to causing damp and mould, I was interested to read on Landlord Today that Ben Twomey of Generation Rent says tenants being unable to afford to heat their homes adequately causes them to suffer...

Dots? It's one single direct connection between the two and the distance between them will be much shorter once the Renters Rights legislation is on the statute book.

Reply to the comment left by Jay Jordan at 26/01/2025 - 11:24Tax incentives? I think you need to educate yourself on the tax treatment of landlords. Perhaps you could get together with some mates and set up a co-operative letting...

You forgot about taking down all the curtains, washing, ironing and rehanging them; cleaning or replacing any blinds. Then there may be days of work on a garden and frequently repeated trips to the local waste and recycling centre.

That makes no sense. HMRC will look at her business bank account and see that the rent amount was received. The fact that it was more than offset by mortgage(s) is neither here nor there to them since the change...

I thought Karen was referring to rent she had never actually received because it went to pay the mortgage, rather than the tenant defaulting on rental payments. Perhaps she could clarify.

Reply to the comment left by Ryan Stevens at 14/01/2025 - 10:25You are so right, this is the usual Shelter 'research' where statistics taken from "two-thirds of those who reported housing problems" are extrapolated and applied to the entire population....

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 09/01/2025 - 18:05Glad to see you are able to retain a sense of humour in all this. I'm afraid mine has almost been stifled to death.

That is exactly what is happening and I'm sure I'm not alone in being affronted at being classed as a bad landlord because I gradually sell properties as they fall empty on tenants' giving notice. At almost 85 I can't...
