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 Laura Delow at 13/06/2026 - 13:52I dont see how we can cite comparables, which would involve copies of leases which may breach the tenants right to privacy.

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...

I would not take the same position as some who comment here. Everything takes longer to implement than might be supposed. Therefore start chipping away at the problem by adding solar panels where it is straightforward to do so. If...

I think that is what he is saying. My practice is to renew any expired EPC but it may well be unnecessary until a new lease is to be granted or the property is marketed for sale or rent

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...

Reply to the comment left by Ryan Stevens at 16:27 good luck . You are probably right. For those property investors who battle on I believe there will be good performance in the long run.

It seems to us that if tenants mount challenges to rents it will fall to the landlords to justify them by reference to 'market rents'. That is not asking rents but evidence in the form presumably of certified copy rent...

Weve cleared out those tenants who it transpires have been subletting without consent and are only doing this as the new act imposes possible penalties on us as landlords
