I read one clever line in the article, a quote. "There is no national backlog for possession cases at this time" If there is no national measurement of backlogs, there is no national backlog. What the commentary doesn't say is...

You said it my friend. I grew up in Manchester, & visit it regularly too. I know what you mean exactly. Maybe we should be politicians? Ah they'd never have me, I'm just to keen to deliver truth. A fun...

Absolutely spot on, but I have lost overall faith in what I now think of as generic politicians. I tend to think of politics now as being rather purple, not red & blue, with a splash of another colour as...

I hear you, but having an accountant in the family has opened my eyes to what can be done to diminish an individuals tax liabilities. Trust me, these people can add value if there's enough money sloshing about for high...

I suspect you may be on the right track there. The other problem with increased taxation is it becoming disproportionately high, compared to the earnings of ordinary blue & white collar workers. The high earners will use strategies to avoid...

I read the statistic in this article that, "The combined cost had therefore risen from approximately £2.25 million to almost £13 million, an increase of 478% in only five years", in Manchester, where Mr. Burnham presumably had more than a...

So a minister can under pay their taxes, get severance payment from the job that they resign from, in shame, & be reappointed & rewarded with a fabulous salary. Yet a landlord can make an innocent mistake & can be...

I wonder, are many of us missing the point here? Is the new world of PRS restriction there for another reason? We've been assuming that our politicians don't have another agenda than to protect the poor & less fortunate. Or...

I thought about getting out of the PRS, but sensibilities had to take hold. I have a low to mid sized portfolio. To evict every tenant would have cost a fortune. Evictions are expensive. I also quite like most of...

Profits? Their word, not mine. Does the term used in the article take into account the new roof I just had to put on a leaky house? Or the fact that I'm having spend money on a new hot water...

That's diabolical behaviour on the part of councils. Should I encounter it, I will gladly allow the case to rise to a courtroom setting. I'm absolutely sure that once case law is established, such discriminatory encouragement will cease. The suggestion...

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...
