As we "look forward" to our 3rd Housing Secretary in 2 years (keeping pace with the Tories) will the Minister manage to cling on to his role when the new broom is applied? Yes, the RRA has brought discrimination -...

Of course the government didn't trouble their little heads considering the impact. The RRA will not be viewed positively once the true impact of dogma over pragmatic change starts to be felt two months from now. I note the comment...

Crouchender, you raise the very point that is now contributing to the growing number of properties where tenants are having issues with mould and mildew (which previously had none). Yes, draft free homes are warmer and cheaper to heat, but...

Another act of misguided misdirection - all stick and flannel when carrot and clarity would be a far better way of gaining landlords' trust and engagement. Where are the definitive published EPC / MEES requirements for landlords to meet their...

How brave and refreshing to see a digital media platform turn away from the clickbait slope of angry rants that exaggerate fight and flight responses. The team at iHowz congratulate you and look forward to seeing the community here pull...
