All my HMO's had been under one tenancy as they come as friends. Only once I had tenants coming separately for 6 bedroom property, that was well over 10 years ago. They all got on. But yes, they stayed one...

RRA does not allow rent in advance. This has caused refusal of foreign students, most of them not having a UK guarantor. If they do, they are fairly weak guarantors. The labour has not gone through this area very well....

Ban landlords. How? What do they actually wish to exercise? Force the landlords to sell? Seize properties from the landlords and continue with existing tenancies with rent going to the government ? Our tax payments are not sufficient, they want...

It was easier to sell up to last year. But putting anything for sell from this summer is not that easy. A lot of investor want 10 to 11% returns. That is crazy. Even last year was the same, I...
