Well one more reason I am exiting and will be gone by 2027. I’ve stopped feeling bad because it means long term families will lose these homes which I had built in 2011. I’ve done my bit, fixed rents until...
Similar situation I had and I abandoned it. My repairs was close to £10k, after section 8 & torts etc I was essentially told it would probably cost another £8-£10k to do all the legals prep court appearances etc. FYI...
Tomorrow we complete on some property sales, rest up in next few weeks. I’m truly sorry for all the families who are going to miss out , some been with us 12+ years but I’m afraid this reform is the...
Dear Pennycook. It is unfortunate you are in denial but then you’re a politician and worst still a minister. By default you are therefore somewhat delusional. My entire portfolio is being sold. 1/3rd already about to be completed and rest...
Dear Johnny I’m selling up all mine. One will complete in a few weeks, another few in a few months. Rest follows. Deny it all you want but the facts will bite you as the stats will show.
Well I am sure as hell not crying wolf. I’ve provided brand new houses. Fixed rents for many years. But I’m leaving, selling them all. I appreciate what it means for the tenants but I have to also look after...
In the process of withdrawing completely. I’ve been a damm good landlord. All new properties with rents frozen for many years. Had good tenants but some who have been appalling. The protection for bad tenants has gone to far. So...
Whatever. Common sense will not prevail. Labour believes it’s unassailable and indeed many Labour MP’s are inept. Little no no knowledge or experience in anything. Suffice to say when this all goes through all those people unable to get a...
There is so much I can say to this but it’s pointless because she/ they won’t listen. But here is a interesting nugget, if you go to say serco or mears or the other one who’s name eludes me, you...
Little is said about tenants eg failing to open vents on windows. Failing to vent when they keep drying clothes on radiators or these heated clothes dryers etc. Not venting when cooking, not using extractor fans when they are there....
The government really does not give a hoot about the majority of landlords ( except their own) and simply wishes to put the entire onus and blame for any housing failure on us. We represent a minority in votes, the...
I was going to put my penny’s worth down here but it’s just pointless. I’m looking now to sell all my portfolio. It’ll impact good tenants but I have to look after me and quite frankly it’s just not worth...
As an accidental landlord of some 12 years and I’ve really tried very hard to look after my tenants despite the odd abuse. Lowest rents in area, brand new properties when rented. Everything fixed sometimes within a hour, all legal...
Ex property developer, physicist and more. Obviously a landlord too but exiting due to the skewed treatment of good landlords by this government and indeed the last.
