Reply to the comment left by Cider Drinker at 24/04/2026 - 08:57Also a 3% increase in mortgage/saving rates since 2022 changes the dynamic of rental economics completely. With no large capital gain in sight to save the day, we are...

Who would have thought it (apart from everyone). When interest rates are up and capital gain is low the return from property is not much higher than sticking your money in a bond. Add in toxic legislation and the majority...

Probably be 'renting' them out to their own staff.. It's always different when you're dealing with your own resources.

I think most of us are starting to feel like non profit organisations....

When we only have section 8 and the reason involves a breach of contract the council won't care either way. The tenants will have 'made themselves homeless' and so will be off the books, not their problem!

Blimey. Not only is it our legal responsibility (for some reason) to check that a prospective tenant has the right to be in the UK, we also have to pander to the criteria which that individual is 'comfortable' to share....

All we need in this utopian world is that all tenants be honest and as professional as the landlords that are housing them. We also need the corporate landlords, that are obviously the darlings of government choice, to not act...

When interest rates rise, the cash invested in property has to be competitive with other, easier investments like bonds. Within 1% it doesn't matter if you are a borrower or a saver. A part mortgaged house is going to be...

'No place for landlords' should be the tag line. Who is everyone going to cry and complain about when this government have "kicked out" (to coin a phrase) all the landlords?

When it is looking like any price increase will be deferred almost indefinitely by the new system in May, it is understandable that many landlords will try to get their price rises in before then. The whole idea of tribunal...

The whole bitterness about high rent can be summed up so simply. Between 2009 and 2022 the BOE base rate was 1% or less which meant cheap lending with 200k perhaps only costing 5k per year in interest . Now...

The problem with an organisation which employs individuals to campaign against the status quo is that there is no end to it. It can never say that its mission has been accomplished. That its reason for existing is over. That...

I guess Labour are pinning their hopes on corporate landlords adding 'professionalism' to the sector as small investors leave. They have even left the lower CGT in place to encourage their departure. Perhaps they should take a look at how...

Perhaps a fund for the homeowners who are paying thousands more a year with the increase in interest rates. The rental activists who think they (the tenants) should be completely insulated from real life changes just sound like children to...

If in doubt, send it out. There seems to be a lot of scaremongering from agents to make some of these tasks seem more complicated than they are.

Wow. So apparently Labour are pro-landlord. Who would have thought it. As my tenants leave, so will I. Let's see who the activists will be shouting at in five years time.

The government wants small investors out to encourage corporate to step in. They will create a monopoly, become too large to be allowed to fail and then expect subsidies. We have seen this pattern with the power, water, rail and...

Perhaps it is time for the PRS to organise its own database of rogue tenants since the government doesn't seem to think it is important.
