Interesting. So the government ARE now admitting to there being a backlog? 🤣

I really don't know how they expect us to improve the energy performance of our properties without first publishing the criteria we will have to work to. It would be pointless to start when it all might change once their...

Reply to the comment left by Jerome roelens at 04/04/2025 - 18:19Good point. But if they're leaving at the end of their tenancy anyway and simply refusing to return the keys, are they still considered to be in residence? And...

Have you never had to change a lock because the key has gone missing? Or the tenant's left without telling anyone and taken the keys with him? That's what you pay a locksmith to do!

Let him keep the keys. Have the locks changed and claim the cost from the deposit. Job done.

I have to say this is really funny to the point it doesn't even warrant a retort. It's certainly given me a laugh this morning!

The real intention of the RRB is to reduce the number of tenants seeking social housing and people requiring short-term accommodation by ensuring that whatever the reason, they can't be evicted from the PRS very easily. They're not bothered about...

Absolutely - well said. When you become an MP, you have to leave your commonsense at the door when you enter Parliament.

I'm not 100% sure as this is a leasehold property, but I would have thought that should have been found by the conveyancing solicitors and you may have a claim against them. The non-disclosure is also (IMO) fraudulent. Somebody here...

Interest rates didn't start rising until December 2021. Rents had already been going up from 2018 so the council is talking codswallop when it says interest rate rises were why rents rose. It is plain to see that selective licensing...

I can't vote Conservative after the tax hikes and pandering to the likes of Shelter and Generation Rent as well as their policy to destroy the small landlord sector. I can't vote Labour as their policies (and people) are preposterous....

What a crock! One rule for one and another for others. It doesn't matter whether she was renting it or not; once married the couple are only allowed to have one main residence and they clearly had 2. I think...

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 09/04/2024 - 11:48Now that I agree shouldn't be attracting more council tax. Where a property has been vacated and is no longer in a state to be let, then there should...

Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 09/04/2024 - 09:14I agree with your point 1 completely. I agree with point 2 excepting the council tax on empty homes although I might be taking an unpopular stance. I don't...

Hi David There are quite a few programmes out there and more coming out almost daily it seems. I'v used 3 of them. Alphaletz will do everything you ask and I used it all last year. However, I'm not comfortable...

Dear Aislinn Just a thought - have you asked the tenants if they wish to buy the property from you? If they're that keen to stay, that might be an option. If they can't afford it, you could offer them...

I'm not especially au fait with how it works, but I do know if the tenant is on legal aid, you will have to pay their costs - but only if you lose. At this point their solicitor appears to...
