Reply to the comment left by Suicide Jockey at 25/03/2026 - 09:40If by then she's been elected Labour leader, then some back bencher will likely step aside to allow her to remain an MP.

Does anyone know yet, if your letting via a company, is it the company details and address that will suffice or will they want all the directors addresses too? Somehow I can't see them being satisfied with a company postal...

Fortunately most of this passes me by, I have long term tenants and as and when they leave I will be selling. However, can someone confirm something, I was under the impression that if the landlord and tenant agree a...

I can't help but think this is a typically misguided way to try and keep rents down. Between this and the arbitrary limits imposed by Universal Credit, based on postcode I believe, if you have tenants that rely on any...

I don't think that anything Labour do about rents will have any major affect on their re-election chances. Only about 23% of the under 25's are registered to vote, where as some 70% of over 55's are. Labour have managed...

Much as I like the idea of putting a shot across the bows of HMG. I suspect the government would 'call the bluff' and just respond by allowing the courts to backup and thereby choking the process. The result would...

Reply to the comment left by Judith Wordsworth at 06/12/2025 - 09:53That could prove interesting. Not sure how that would work if you've let properties via a limited company? If you subsequently sell up, cash out and close the limited...

I'd assume that they will require you to remain 'signed up' until your legal responsibilities are concluded. Does anyone have any idea how long that might be after you have sold all your BTL's and no longer have any tenants?...

Am I the only one who gets a little confused? When I took back the management of the portfolio I registered the deposits with TDS, however I was given the option to retain the money myself rather than sending it...

Accessing ECO4 is best done by the tenants direct, it helped that mine were registered disabled, on benefits and the building EPC rating was a low D. As I recall they contacted ECO4 who put them in touch with an...

I tend to follow the HMRC lead and round down by just truncating at the decimal point. The most I'd lose in deposit is £51.48p, which I'm happy with for the security of knowing I'm never going to be over.

I live in hope, that as with the decision to scrap police and crime commissioners, mayors will all go the same way.

I work on 10% for ongoing 'wear and tear' maintenance, which once the properties are up to standard covers well enough. However I also keep an emergency fund for unforeseen nasties, like a window blowing out and subsequently finding all...

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 11/11/2025 - 13:14Interesting article, Having lived in Croydon in the past, I'm not surprised they missed the point. They may have no responsibility as freeholders, but as the local council they...

To push this any further you'd need to prove, either that she did not respond correctly within the 21 days or that Southwark had acted elsewhere without giving the warning letter and 21 days grace. In the absence of both...

would it be classed as making herself deliberately homeless?

Two options:- 1). She's too dumb to understand her responsibilities as a landlord. 2). She's lied. Either makes her unfit to hold office.

I've not bothered to keep track of this farce, as I envisage there will be many strings pulled behind the scene's. If the letting agents are at fault, which seems to have been suggested, wouldn't she just sue them in...

Reply to the comment left by Mark Alexander - Founder of Property118 at 30/09/2025 - 10:59Would there be any merit in having a clause in the lease that said something like......."in the event of the tenant being committed to jail...

Reply to the comment left by Eemiia Cerk at 25/09/2025 - 08:55I stand corrected, but I can assure you that the original assessor was aggressively adamant, 6 years ago, that they had to be done in the order she had...
