I am amazed that anyone got a wiring repair in 24hrs, isolation and made safe perhaps. This type of rhetoric ignores the reality of finding trades at short notice.

I am not sure that a guarantor is a substitute for affordability. It was previously used where there was no track record of income or previous rent payments or where a tenant may return overseas at the end of a...

If taken up this would be a total disaster for the PRS, renters of course would be be charged the property tax at a rate higher than Council Tax because taxes have to be paid from NET receipts, this is...

I do wonder if the metric around rent challenges is going to be used to actively encourage challenges in the future.

Of course you cannot measure the impact of the legislation as they do not have the true figures from before the legislation was first threatened by the Tories; it is of no benefit to start counting horses after the stable...

I wonder if landlords will be encouraged to share their experience using Shelters tool?

Well if the figure of less than 10% of landlords downloading the information sheet are correct, the councils are in for a bumper pay day once the database is live. Followed of course by mass evictions as they then exit...
