IMHO HMOs are NO-GOs under RRA rules. HM GOV will see the end of us decent landlords. RIP, folks.

There’s so much more we don’t know about this case. The landlord is either a sandwich short of a picnic or deceased. But one thing we do know for sure: the councils are far worse landlords than the majority of...

Quelle surprise! Just wait until the new rent reforms take effect. They’ll be drowning in homelessness. It’s called the law of unintended consequences. Shelter has been mainly responsible for the demonisation of the PRS. He who sows the wind reaps...

Judging by the number of horrific council housing properties, this is like the pot calling the kettle black. But, of course, councils are immune from prosecution for providing sub-standard housing. This particular landlord is clearly guilty of negligence and deserves...

There is no sense in any of it. The law of unintended consequences will mean that if Labour continue to forge ahead with all this net-zero nonsense, this country will be bankrupted, and everyone will be speaking Chinese in 50...

And where are required number of qualified engineers going to come from to retrofit those properties? Plenty of cowboys are already lining up and rubbing their hands with glee. Expect carnage to ensue.

Doomed, I tell ye! We’re all doomed by the law of unintended consequences.

There’s only one thing wrong with socialism: Socialists.

Redbridge and Barking have higher rental yields than other more salubrious areas of London. Go figure.

Cowboy companies will proliferate. We’ll spend thousands on ensuring we’ll have our flats full of mould and damp, and, last but not least, the EPC computer will still say no. It can only end in tears.

Reply to the comment left by david boughton at 26/07/2024 - 05:53The socialists will just bring in legislation to make the same thing apply to Airbnb. They will not stop until they have sacrificed this nation on the altar of...

Millipede needs to be read the riot act. My Edwardian property in northeast London was given a C rating in 2008, before I had double glazing installed. After installation, and in 2018, it was given a D rating. “The computer...

Before double glazing, the EPC of my flat in 2008 was C. After dg was fitted it was rated a D in 2018. If the goalposts keep getting moved, then you could spend £20k on Green improvements …and still get...

My tenant told me that this is what the council told him. It will cost me hundreds before a bailiff moves in. He’s a good tenant and pays on time, but they now have two kids in my 1-bedder, which...

Reply to the comment left by Ian Narbeth at 28/03/2024 - 12:38I can promise you that if I try to take them on, the council will find a way to fine me 20k for overcrowding. I wouldn’t trust them as...

I have two 1-bed flats that I let. In the first, there is a 60-year-old on UC who has suffered two minor strokes and has diabetes and other ailments. Although I now get his UC paid directly to me, he...

I have two identical 1-bed flats in the same conversion. One was given an EPC C rating and the other a D. Go figure. The whole EPC system is not fit for purpose.

What part of this famous quote does Khan not understand: “‘My other piece of advice, Copperfield,’ said Mr. Micawber, ‘you know. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds...

Heat pumps are a rip-off and a scandal. They would be unsuitable and uneconomical for many millions of UK properties. EPC minimum should be D and not C. Otherwise the UK and its citizens will be bankrupted by the zero...

Reply to the comment left by Keith Williams at 20/07/2023 - 09:42I own two flats on the top floor of a four-flat converted house. The two downstairs flats are owned by leaseholders. Does the whole property need to be upgraded?...
