Well, if I have 5 applicants for a property, & that's not unreasonable to expect in the current climate, & I really just don't like 4 of them, I'll credit check one. If he, she or the family meets the...

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 22/04/2026 - 16:10And some organisations simply exist to line their own pockets whilst pretending to care. It's amazing what the wider public will swallow as the truth, when it's simply rhetoric...

Reply to the comment left by Ryden Jones at 22/04/2026 - 10:06It's worth noting that I have read the gov website repeatedly on the subject of the rights of potential renters receiving benefits. They have no more rights than those...

Doesn't the existence of the renters rights act make selective licencing an obsolete concept? What makes it still relevant?

Boost our incomes, really? If we're going to put rents up, it's to bolster our losses or to prepare for stuff like the new roof that I just had to shell £14k out for, or get ourselves ready for the...

This might go legal. You will need to find a way to get the contact details of the tenants. They're living in your property, you absolutely need to have certain information. I would personally find that way & change the...

Before you make a decision to go down the heat pump route, get a lot of quotes. There are still cowboy & incompetent installers out there. Also remember that the temperature of the water after leaving a heat pump is...

I suspect a few taxpayers might just object a teeny bit to Mr. Burnham creating more social housing using their taxes. There may be better uses of taxpayers money, like getting the NHS to use just 1 computer system that...

This is terrible. A government celebrating a piece of legislation that is likely to lead to homelessness increasing. And they said that Boris was bad for his BYOB garden party, not that I approved of that either, but this is...

Is this our Government showing us that the real intention behind the RRA was always to raise tax revenue, allowing them to sit back & say, "look how well we've done in helping to rebalance the economy"? It's kicking the...

More politicians intent on kicking the can down the road. Costs increase but rent is unlikely to keep pace in a rent control situation. So we see a property approaching being a loss maker. What do we do normally? We...

If people keep on saying this kind of thing, then surely the government will listen? Well when they do, they'll surely do what the critics want. We'll all get rent capped as well as taxed almost out of existence. Then...

Does your contract with the agent say that you agree to paying for this at the end of the tenancy? If you didn't ask for it, don't pay it. I never bother with a deep clean. Currys currently offer a...

Reply to the comment left by Chepstow Landlord at 07/06/2025 - 11:04Yes. There's a female solicitor in Knutsford that approach my tenants, describing a way that sounded to them like they could get a few quid, without damaging me. I...

Reply to the comment left by Perc666 music at 19/02/2025 - 17:23Huge agreement from me. The problem is that no individual will ever feel the pain of prosecution or financial loss. So they just don't care to the same level...

It's a sticking plaster on a broken leg. It's just a way of gaining popularity amongst a group of voters. Clearly the PRS is the enemy of the government. I've already started selling up. I've let some really good properties...

I had a similar situation. I didn't notice payments coming from someone other than the Romanian tenant. I noticed the name on the account when I received the 3rd payment. It turned out she had handed the keys to someone...

There are only 2 words that are important here. Claims is the first. Evidence is the second. Shelter bang on & on about poor this, substandard that, purely to justify their existence & salaries. And yet, this is a charity....

They probably are, but how often do they comment on landlords that try to do the right thing?

I love it when Ms Abbot opens her mouth. It always brings a smile to my face. I say more airtime needs to be given to her, just so we can see what she'll say next. Maybe a regular spot...
