“This is why landlords are earning supernormal returns...". I wish I was seeing this. All other things being equal, if my tenants leave I'll sell and move to more productive less risky avenues. The high capital gains and reasonable return...

What a bunch of Muppets Pennycock and co are. In a situation where the RRA triples the financial costs of a default and there are ten applicants per rental, only the best of the best tenants with the purest of...

We all know that the government doesn't feel that landlords should make any profit or have any rights. Shame on us for owning more than one house when other poor sods don't have even one.... Still waiting for this level...

Even if I used an agent I would want to register myself. We all know where the buck stops if agents mess up...

I'm sure that home owner's would love an interest cap on mortgages but this is the adult world, not the world of living with Mummy and Daddy..

We all know that the return on a older family home based on value is not enough for corporations. This means they will concentrate on the top end 'executive' flats and houses with better margins. The government is too dim...

How about this for an idea. If rents become unaffordable due to interest rates and government interference, homes will be empty and landlords can decide to either sell up or rent at a lower rate than other investments. We are...

"Decisions related to direct payments of rent must be based upon the claimant’s best interests". Well that just sums up the government attitude. Perhaps decisions regarding prompt payment of rent should be made in the landlords best interest. It won't...

Well isn't that big of them. Having more than doubled our risk through the new governments 'level playing field' of: Initial 12 month fixed term (for tenants), two months for us. Tribunals which can't backdate price rise claims leading to...

Typical Labour government. They can't even wait a few months for cash they're desperate to spend immediately like a teenager on Red Bull...

Since the government is so confident that the court system is working well perhaps they should underwrite any landlord losses caused by court delays... Perhaps a £7000 fine also if any mistakes are made in processing the claim? We all...

Oooh. What a headline. 0.5% rent inflation. If only we could cap the inflation of food, services, council rates, utility rates etc to half a percent what a Jolly old life that would be..

The only build to rents I've seen being built (in many towns) are blocks of 'executive' flats. Tiny units worth sod all but with posh kitchens and bathrooms for single higher earners and a higher margin. The government thinking that...

We all know that this is a form of rent control and the governments position is the child with the chocolate covered mouth protesting innocence of chocolate theft. The fact they think we are as stupid as Westminster lackeys is...

Less and less family homes as small landlords head off for greener pastures. Don't worry though, 'executive' hutches charging top prices for 20 square feet are springing up in every town. Also don't forget that Andy is going to really...

Is this the governments cunning plan to get the whiners who can't/won't save a £25k deposit for their own homes?

1.From 2021 interest rates on costs (mortgages) or rates on potential savings have increased 3% (£7500/year on £250k). 2.The RRA has increased default risk from perhaps 5 months to potentially over a year. 3.There is a prospect of a stealth...

I'm sure that many younger home owner's are finding their mortgage costs above a 30% affordability figure (pulled out of thin air by a think tank). Many will have seen hundreds a month added to their bills with no one...

Reply to the comment left by Stephen Gardner at 21/06/2026 - 15:15The added worry I have is that most political animals are circling CGT like hyenas viewing a 40 or 45% rate. They all try to justify with a logic...

Although government policy has increased risk and costs, the big game changer is interest rates back to 'normal'. Thirteen years of ultra low rates pumped so much capital gain into housing that although percentage return on the original cost might...
