Washing machine removed – Crime or Not?

4th December 2014, 11 years ago

I agree with other replies - yes a crime has happened, yes the police should pursue it, and yes they will try and fob you off saying it is a civil matter. Be firm with the Police and you should...

Licensing Consultation in Southwark

26th November 2014, 11 years ago

How about licensing fees are free (Marks suggestion) and councils finance it by fining the criminal rogue landlords. Apparently there are shed loads of these criminal rogue landlords so this will earn you a mint.. If they are really that...

Revenge Eviction or was the landlord right?

26th November 2014, 11 years ago

Is cavity wall insulation good or bad for condensation? I think the air in the cavity wall is a pretty good insulator. It also allows ventilation which is why there are air bricks built into the outer wall AND it...

Revenge Eviction or was the landlord right?

21st November 2014, 11 years ago

Tenants just need to remember that the law also obligates them to do certain things including using the property in a tenant like manner (Lord Denning) and not allowing waste (damage to you and me). Google it. If you are...

17th November 2014, 11 years ago

"I believe being a Ltd company will be advantageous in my situation, because I am reinvesting profits and only want a wage for the work I do on the properties" How about you buy and own the properties as an...

Reply to the comment left by "chris wright" at "30/10/2014 - 17:51": Do these people still work for the council? Are they going to be involved in the Licensing? Once they've been retrained of course.

If the Government wants to empower and train these people to look after their own money why not take these people out of PAYE when they get back to work, so they pay their tax out of their gross income?...

Reply to the comment left by "corinne fitzgerald" at "20/10/2014 - 11:51": Don't cut your nose off to spite your face. You probably made a bad choice 7 years ago choosing this Landlord and this property. You now need to...

29th October 2014, 11 years ago

I send an email scanned copy of the S21 to the Homeless officer at the council. Just basically saying I served a S21 on so and so at such time earlier today. I'm sure that this would convince a judge...

Licensing Consultation in Southwark

24th October 2014, 11 years ago

I'm not sure that Southwark council are fit and proper persons capable of licencing anyone.

Speedy evictions – The whys and wherefores

17th October 2014, 11 years ago

David, I completely agree with you about councils lefty leanings but how do they get away with giving out the wrong advice? They just seem to stick their heads in the sand and pretend that you guys don't exist. It's...

Buy to Let perceptions contradicted

17th October 2014, 11 years ago

I don't understand why the banks would do this. It doesn't seem to make good business sense. If the mortgage has always been paid promptly, if the LTV is reasonable, and if the rental income easily covers the mortgage why...

Speedy evictions – The whys and wherefores

17th October 2014, 11 years ago

Anyone know why councils don't seem to acknowledge that speedy no notice High Court evictions are a possibility when they advice tenants to sit tight and play the system for a few months until the Bailiffs arrive? I'm sure we've...

Planning Appeal – Parking

17th October 2014, 11 years ago

Do they specify the parking is for a car? If not provide a couple of bicycle spaces in a covered bike rack - you'll hardly need any space. The councils are under a lot of pressure to go green /...

This incomplete and disgraceful advice seems to now be the standard response from councils and lefty organisations such as Shelter and CAB. It fits in with their all property is theft, Landlords are evil, politics of envy and more importantly...
