Landlord with 10 + properties, all in Scotland.
Buoyant market over the last 20 years with the usual problems, challenges with scampering tenants, void months, red tape, Covid and interest rates.

Tbh this government has gone far in the eyes of landlords. Can't the think-tank see this? If the PRS is selling up now, adding more legislation will make more landlords sell up adding properties ( that dont sell) to the...

Reply to the comment left by Chris Bradley at 10/02/2022 - 12:44That kinda makes sense. But if you have for example 3 empty properties that by virtue of the system makes you liable on the day 3 x £200 is...

Reply to the comment left by Mick Roberts at 30/06/2021 - 12:57To be blunt and perfectly honest. I wanted to advise p118 and other landlord sites of my tales of woe. With believe it or not maybe at that stage...
