Excellent idea, only it may be more effective if was run via one of the larger landlord groups? To be honest I'm surprised a legal challenge hasn't already occurred.
It has been blatantly obvious that with the introduction of the RRA and the mechanism to appeal rent rises, ( with no backdating ), this was open to being used as a backdoor way of applying rent controls and/or delaying...
One hopes a little common sense will prevail, but somehow I doubt it. Selling a property within 6 months is becoming difficult, particularly as most buyers are being advised to seek a last week reduction in price of upto 10%....
Could you develop this concept along this path? Rather than use the annuity to pay the whole of life cover, live off the annuity and do the cover via your company and rental income, thereby making it tax deductible, I...
Other factors, I'd suggest, that are stopping the sale of rental properties and or their purchase, is the market is becoming flooded with 1/2 bed properties and interest rates are uncertain. My experience in the local area, is prices have...

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...
