This needs professional advice, particularly if the property has been sublet - if the premises are occupied you must not let the intermediate landlord just walk away leaving you with the headache.

Category 1 fails in the past have included tenants bicycles in hallway and tenants clothes dryer in front of the back door. Unless such things are excluded or better the tenants are prosecuted instead, all this will do is further...

I am still looking for a job with one of these think tanks - I would happily be paid for sitting around all day making up such 'insights' . If I could work from home I would be happy to...

Those figures are or course highly biased - why? Those people evicted from illegal sublets are probably now claiming housing benefit. This is also true every time a council jobs worth decides a bedroom is too small or that really...

The issue here is that we did not always reference people to the same extent in the past - so if every insurance company now stipulates these requirements they will start to reject a high number of claims.

MTD and the landlord database will accelerate this trend to be followed by EPC fights. My prediction is eviction bans within 3 years (i.e. you can only sell tenanted) along with post code lottery rent freezes and or limits on...

A digital ID system is however still coming - why, well they promised that social media will be banned for the under 16s, which means digital ID for anyone wanting to use social media or even watch YouTube. The BBC...

The issue is that it is being heavily sold as a cost reducer and all of the issues around multiple stakeholders is being swept under the carpet. I know of a ground floor resident who tried to avoid contributing towards...

If they had just made this for loans on new properties the transition would have been far less painful. Any retrospective legislation is evil.

Reply to the comment left by Neil P at 29/07/2026 - 10:34Even at 8 weeks that's two months to get the possession order after the four month wait - but that's not the end point as you still need bailiffs...

No need to build, plenty for sale - perhaps free up people unable to sell due to government policy over cladding. Quick to do, an easy 'win' for the waiting lists, not cheap but neither is that temporary emergency housing...

Gains that landlords traditionally expected are being threatened with CGT change so I am not at all surprised. Unfortunately we are the political football of all parties so I do not see a period of stability on the horizon.

Another fake consultation - another money grab.

I am not sure that the NRLA actually argued for exemptions other than for the PBSA lot, it is entirely illogical to treat students differently depending on the accommodation type - once again big money talks and is listened to...
