This article is somewhat confusing. It states "PRS", but then shifts to "private landlords", intimating that the £48bn of stock they are selling isn't all being lost out of the PRS at all, as it is being purchased by larger...

So was this house a registered HMO? The ex-tenant said that her and her HOUSEMATES were told that the tenancy would not be renewed, so presumably it met the requirement...

I've just writtent to my new Lib Dem MP to let him know that Bacon Sarnie Milliband's actions will result in three families being forced out of their homes by 2030 and three PRS properties becoming unavailable, as there is...

The BBC jumped on this yesterday, with a sly implication that it was "those evil private landlords at it again!", so I wrote to the BBC to complain. I did this, as a simple look on the BOE's inflation calculator...

Wow, Ben Beadle has written on Twitter/X! Where's the lobbying? NRLA should be splashing these stories all over the printed media and news outlets, taking the opportunity to point out the differences between Social and Private Landlords and the total...

Reply to the comment left by Jo Westlake at 16/10/2024 - 10:50Blimey, what was it to start with....an old concrete garage? Would love to know what age/construction. Well done on getting it up to a D. I think the whole...

I know it's probably contentious, but I won't be doing a damned thing to my properties until forced to. All of my (long term) tenants are perfectly happy living in lovely old Cotswold stone buildings with views of the rolling...

Ha-ha-ha! Labour run council and an absolute bl@@dy shower! They launched this in Sept 2022, had nearly 11,000 applications and had still only managed to grant 6000 licences by June this year! I don't know of any landlords in Oxford...

Not uncommon at all, but usually the properties are let on a long term basis (I won't say ASTs, as they are not often used) particularly in major cities where the social rents are considerable less than the market rate,...

Utterly baffled by this. Why is the "widely accepted affordability threshold" for students based upon 55% of their maximum student loan amount, basically their "earnings" for the year, when we keep hearing that private rents are unaffordable/putting people into "poverty"...

The NRLA is a Private Limited Company with exemption on the use of the word "Limited". In short, it is a business, as most "trade organisations" are. When you give them money, also known as your "membership" charge, they provide...

You took the words out of my mouth! Is Ben Beadle a landlord? I think it's about time we knew. Virtually everything he has done thus far would point to a negative answer in that regard. All I can see...

How many bl$$dy homeless charities are there? It's an absolute industry and a lot of people are doing very nicely off the back of it! I always look these charities up on the Charity Commission's website to see what their...

The whole premis that this further errosion of tax rights for small business owners is going to make these holiday homes/FHLs availble to buy for locals is utterly crass. The whole issue is that property prices are just way too...

I am constantly baffled by the public sector and what their costs must be in relation to these licensing schemes. My understanding is that they have to be run as "not for profit", so that all of the monies gathered...

Nice to see that this councillor is still on the attack against Private Landlords, laying blame for their housing crisis at our door, due to the issuing of Section 21 Notices putting all of these kind, quiet, rent-paying tenants out...

Unfortunately, he's a proven liar after getting involved with Richard Desmond, the old porn baron, with regards to a property development that had run in to difficulties. He used his powers to "call it in" and quash the local planner's...

“We will continue to work hard to tackle rogue landlords who put their tenants at risk by failing to licence their properties.” Sadly, I think this statement pretty much sums up the mentality of most councillors who believe that a...

"Convert private housing into council homes"... you mean purchasing private homes. I'm clearly missing something here. Where is the money coming from for this re-purchase scheme? 10,000 homes in London, at a ludicrously low estimate of £200k per property, would...

Reply to the comment left by Michael Booth at 09/11/2023 - 12:36Well it's North of Oxford! I generally start to get heart palpitations if I venture above Birmingham! Thanks for the response, I was just absolutely amazed when 60 people...
