You are right, Labour policy is dictated by Trots who take a dim view of private landlords. Hopefully wiser counsel will prevail in time. Good private landlords are required by society. It is not possible for the public sector to...

Reply to the comment left by Simon Kinzley at 29/06/2026 - 08:45It is very much a case of re-introduction of the Rent Act by the back door. Its not surprising that smaller landlords are cashing out. This, of itself will...

there are so many variables in determining what is the true market value of a seemingly homogenous item. one two bed flat in a post code can be worth a lot more or less than another. Parking for example is...

Reply to the comment left by Peter Merrick at 09:45 Great posting which identifies exactly the propblem with Commonhold. People will be content to re-emulsion the lobby but will shirk away from doing more important and much costlier work such...

I dont think estate agents should say anything to prospective buyers about commonhold because they cannot possibly tell them accurately how exactly it will work. Estate Agents are bound to give no misdescriptions and doing so can be a trigger...

Hypothetically lets flash forward ten years, Commonhold has been around a while and after the initial excitement neighbours are having difficulty collecting service charges from a couple of leaseholders who live abroad, exact whereabouts unknown and rent out their apartments...

I have experience of both. I can say with conviction tenants get their deposits back much more quickly where the landlord holds in a segregated clients account, with the tenant insured against infidelity. We pay out deposit refunds within a...

Reply to the comment left by Clara Skye at 08/06/2026 - 11:40Two questions 1.Suppose there are two identical houses but one is equipped with solar panels so that the tenants energy costs are much lower. Will Tribunal consider ? I...

As ever, the Government get it wrong. The restriction will be in the lease with their immediate landlord, which might be a residents' controlled management company or head lease. The freeholder is unlikely to be bothered as the presence or...
