If NI is attached to rental income, would that not classify it as 'earned income' which would then make S24 irrelevant? This could be a blessing in disguise!

I'm sure Goodlord could crunch the figures a little better to explain this. As it occurs every September to October, there must be some logical reason for this decrease. I mean, could it be hundreds of thousands of uni students...
If you replace main residence with main residence (ie sell your current home when buying a new home) then the additional 3% does not come in to play. If you wish to retain the current home and buy a new...
Those poll results are quite scary reading. Labour have a significant lead and I would be extremely concerned if Corbyn et al make it in to power. Not that the Tories are doing a much better job at the moment,...

Hi Simon, I am not a qualified accountant, but, from experience, I have had this happen on student lets. My Ltd Co accountant pro rata'd the rent as if it was received on a monthly basis (as the AST stated)...
Did the Guardian, that well known landlord centric paper, split out Local Authority, Housing Association and PRS for it's figures? Or just dump all the problems as being the fault of the private landlords?!
If this is run in the spirit of its intended use, I am quite for this to come in, as it will massively improve the PRS and remove the rogue landlords that sully the rest of our good names. Would...
Have you looked at the lenders that will take salary and net profit for the affordability assessment, rather than salary and drawn dividend? Probably worth speaking to a good mortgage broker.
That fund will be cheaper than the £1M that Peterborough council spent at Holiday Inn accommodating homeless families in the first 6 months of this financial year¡

I have this on a regular basis with my student lets. When I let to overseas students, they pay the 12 months rent upfront as they can not be referenced or guarantored. The letting agent then pays the whole amount...
