It is easy to complain about a faceless freeholder raising service charges, but seeing all of your (possibly better off) neighbours voting for a big increase that you would really struggle to afford is likely to cause a lot of...
I guess if they appear to make a profit they just award themselves higher salary and or bonus, profit back to regulation. If you think this is far fetched take a look at the salaries of the top people in...
The biggest issue I can see is how can the market rent now rise in future if we cap all rises to today's market rent which seems to be what these tribunals are actually doing. This is beginning to look...
I would say that successive governments have failed to get a grip on immigration, the uk population was set to stabilize before we became the world's dumping ground.
It's just a cunning plan, force small landlords out then at the end of the term blame landlords for the housing crisis which they would have sorted if landlords hadn't run away!
According to councils and our beloved government we are meant to cope with all of the admin burden for free and respond immediately to authorities but it's ok for them to take months to respond to use despite an army...
I think the days of new tenants being found by existing tenants are now over. The end of Section 21 and discrimination laws makes tenant selection a legal minefield with the landlord always responsible.
The time-frames already proposed in Scotland already bear little resemblance to the real world. Finding suitably qualified trades is already difficult, now imagine a tenant raising a complaint on a Friday before a bank holiday or Christmas Eve.
I am still not clear about things like gas checks, do we just renew these at the annual refresh date or is there another deadline e g. Within x days of the check? Are there automatic fines if a new...
One of the key aims of the RRA was to reduce the number of ex PRS tenants becoming eligible for public housing. Unfortunately the tenant is now trapped unless the landlord evicts under one of the compulsory grounds. Likewise the...
We are a convenient distraction to blame for the housing crisis, all parties are desperate to keep up this pretence - the public has been manipulated into believing we are rolling in cash and exploiting the poor.
I hope that you have complied with the gas and electric regulations, you will be forced to add these certificates to the new landlord register, the exact date depends on the properties location.
When even HMRC suggested software doesn't work it is not surprising landlords are struggling to keep up - the goal posts are not just moving they are leaping about at an ever increasing pace. More questions remain about EPC, still...

The irritating thing is any GCSE computing student could write the macro to fill the boxes in. I think they just hope you make a mistake.

The horse will not only have left the stable but probably emigrated before any government will acknowledge exactly who left the stable door open.
