I told KFH I didn't want to be auto enrolled, and they did it anyway. I am no longer with KFH. They also passed me a stream of bad tenants over the years.

If they want a rent cap, it needs to balanced with an inflation cap and a regulation cap. Rents are related to the two, so you can't have one without the other, otherwise problems will pop up elsewhere. There is...

They call us landlords, yet the superior landlord is the government. We are just property providers. The real villains are the real landlords, the Government.

"If ministers are looking for a warning light on the dashboard, this one is flashing bright red." They probably have colour blindness, and see a reduction in property provision as a green light.

I did originally plan never to sell my property. But the returns after tax of putting funds in an ISA and Pension will be much better if they bring in this final nail. The only reason I would keep my...

Council Tax on an empty property overnight?

Had the same thing in Bromley several times. I pointed out it would cost them more cost posting out bills and dealing with me via several challenges. They have dropped chasing this up several times.

They don't need a PRS database. They "just" need a few extra fields on the land register database. Would be a lot cheaper than setting up a new system, new staff, new website etc. Also would be easier to match...

My finance professor used to endlessly say: There is no free lunch! Labour just assume that the landlord will pay.

Great article. Well articulated."Person of the People". Not a member but I have an association with Reform. From an investor and owner perspective it's a no brainer that they would be landlord friendly. Cannot stress enough the importance of making...

There is a obvious failure in the original legislation. It do not allow for transition from private to company property transfers in a cost effective way. Unless this was a feature, not a bug, intended to push out amateur landlords...

Taxed on square meters is a much fairer way. But as others have alluded to, its much more about being a cash grab. Bank robbers rob banks, because that is where the money is, and land value tax advocates go...
