Summer Budget 2015 – Landlords Reactions

Chris,

Clearly, you are not bothered about paying Turnover Tax but please do not tie us all with same brush!

On the Press Preview last night it was said that the Government/Jeremy Hunt is going to have to back down re the junior doctors’ contracts because of the legal case and impending JR. The newscaster and commentator said this was ‘astonishing’ – that the Government should have been rigidly pursuing something that was ‘illegal.’ Fingers crossed for a similar result!

We are going to have to get more money in though as it’s slowed down the last day or two – can everyone spread the message for people to donate to the fund? The link for anyone who needs it is:

Remember to tell them about the fact that they can have summit tickets included as long as they donate at least £100 and it gets cheaper if more than one is going to the summit.

If landlords want to be part of making history, now is the time.

Hi Ros
I keep on updating on RLA site so it stays at the top of forum list so more people read. I am a bit busy today. But for sure I will email links to a lot of estate agents tomorrow.

Pledged – half way there now. I’ll take a couple of hours tomorrow to walking up my local high Street. Packed with estate and letting agents, most of whom I know and who have benefited massively from the PRS over the last few years. They were all very proactive in resisting a licencing plan locally a couple of years ago and roped in a number of other LLs so I’m sure that they will be happy to help out again. Very much in their interests this time round !!

Contacted three lettings agents that I’ve used in the past

Hi

I have sent emails from the estate agents site (contact us) which is not only easier but it will not go in the spam. John D wood has been dealt with 16 offices. Winkworth 12 offices in central london. I will continue with Winkworth tomorrow. If others would like to follow this. I am sending the below message. I do not mind changing this if some one wants to re-write something else for me . I will send that.
Have you heard of Tenant tax?
Please can you support private landlords and tenants by sharing this with all your offices and your clients. If we private landlords don’t have the money we will not be using agents. If tenants have to pay more rents they will also not be using agents. This will effect agents like yourselves Please donate however small. We are fighting to reverse this Tenants Tax and need you on our side. https://www.crowdjustice.co.uk/case/tenanttax

Well done Eden

I to have been hitting the letting agents, we are their clients they should support us.

Thanks to years of Tory leadership in Redbridge, we have the lowest amount of social housing stock in London. Does my right hon. Friend also know that one in 27 households in the private rented sector is at risk of eviction because of a whole load of factors, the majority of which are due to the Government’s policies?

Hi

Winkwoth contact form sent north London 19 branches,South west 14,Southeast 11,East 3,West london 11. Total 58. Let us hope they will contribute. During the day I will start with another multiple.

Hi

Are we raising £50,000 or £250,000? If it’s £250,000 we are going to struggle looking at the response so far.
Some one commented on my post (RLA)that 60,000 signature for petition if all donate £10.00, we could raise £600,000. Possible to get a list of these people?
If not should be get some flyers printed and get them either delivered door to door through post office or get them delivered privately?
We seriously need to think about alternative if we need to raise £250,000.
