Reply to the comment left by Imout Ofhere at 11/09/2026 - 08:21Hi Imout Ofhere I had a similar concern so have looked it up. The short answer is no. Both landlords will have to register, but we only have to...
Well that will be another £10 per month per property added to the rent on top of any other increase on every property. £120 a year allows for 40% tax of £48 giving me a 'spare' £7 for maybe a...
Why not indeed. After all, we're already responsible for doing the work of the Border Force to ensure people have a right to rent in this country, we can simply extend that to include stopping fly-tipping. Perhaps we should apply...
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...

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 - 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...
