Shouldn't this have been raised months ago when the bill was being "consulted" and the NRLA was busy acquiescing on landlords' behalf?

You seem to indicate that from 2016 until recently there was no management company after the last one was fired by the freeholders. Therefore, how did the freehold company meet its statutory and legal requirements? This is context you should...

If we experienced a 'surge' in stop over tenants we would drop the break clause from our ASTs. If this resulted in properties re-letting more slowly then we would have mis-read the market demand, but I don't think so.

I interpret Jacqueline's post differently. While most of us have room to make some more efficiencies and others could perhaps be a little more 'business focused', Jacqueline's approach and experience represents that of a great many of us in the...

Mr Cox sells mortgages and therefore has to talk his book. Us knowing landlords understand the real market is far less rosey.

Why not take the path of least resistance and accept Open Rent's offer. You only have 2 months quibble and I'm guessing your gut is telling you the tenant and her associates are a lost cause? Keep focused on your...

The state welfare system is on track to go bust; victimising landlords to subsidise the living expense of niche tenant groups is titivating around the edges of a systemic problem. Either, taxes are raised significantly on all working people to...

I had thought they were disallowing upfront rental payments, of which what you outline will surely be regarded as such regardless of the label put on the payment? I suspect it wouldn't pass the sniff test alas.

The councillor should focus his energy on asking why is there such burgeoning demand for HMOs? And, what hand has his affiliated political party had in allowing such a demand to come about? Easier to blame those landlords though.

Just like commodity prices for example, rental growth doesn't have to increase linearly. However, a trajectory of up and to the right will continue apace fuelled by the RRB and ever more distorted supply-demand dynamics and ill-advised Gov policies.

Almost all landlords want their property rented and there's usually a simple economic reason the property is vacant. Regeneration isn't about forcing a landlord to accept a low ball rental bid to disguise years of underinvestment and mismanagement from councils...

This is a trend I believe will only continue to accelerate and indicates the significant investment potential of the UK rental market. However, most of this potential can only be realised at large scale far beyond that of the private...

I'm usually quite stoic about the constant churn of government bureaucratic craziness, but now I have a growing sense of sadness watching the UK spiralling the plug hole. We have the among the highest energy prices in the world, thanks...

A metric that the council will never release (assuming they even record it) is the proportion of properties they inspect in an area with "criminal landlords". Not the number of landlords they subsequently take action against; just the actual percentage...

I'm unclear - perhaps there's no clarity to be had - about the mechanics of determining a fair market rent through a tribunal court. Referencing various national indices is irrelevant to most markets which are typically micro in nature. A...

The PRS is circling the plug hole and still there is a queue of self-serving actors calling for more public investment in pointless initiatives. The issue is the sector is choked with too much legislation and bureaucracy and more is...

This story would be complete if it included reference to some poor landlords in Swindon whom the council has threatened with crippling fines and legal action for a mould patch next to the rack of wet clothes.

This will be a growing trend as the supply-demand imbalance gets further out of whack. Don't forget, Labour has frozen the income tax thresholds and more rental income will push some landlords into higher tax even though sec 24 ensures...

I'm avoiding the obvious emotive aspect of this matter and just focusing on the business side. Although you use an agent you seem to suggest you are exposed to (anxiety?) from the uncertainty every year. If you quantify the extra...
