Will be serving notice shortly to sell another house. That will mean 80% sold

Cameras inside rentals strikes me as decidedly pervy

Findings included the average total reported cost of pet-related damage was £300 per tenancy, compared to £775 for non-pet-related damage caused by non-pet-owning tenants. Read carefully, so you can expect £1075 of damage from a pet owner

What is the King Canute syndrome? In modern journalistic parlance, Cnut is a byword for a delusional attempt to avert the inevitable, the most recent example being the coining of the term 'Canute syndrome'. Somehow seems appropriate

From a purely housing point of view isn’t it a no brainer to flip the tax situation and remove relief on holiday homes and reinstate it on residential lets.

In the last crash many surveyors were put out of business because they were sued for over valuation, and due to this many could not trade as PI insurance was difficult to obtain. If you were a surveyor in the current market what would you do, I would be watching my back and valuing on the low side.

The house we live in (a substantial 4 bed) was built in the very large garden of a council house, sold to the tenants at a massive discount who then sold off a building plot. Not the best use of public money

If it makes it easier for my tenants to buy my houses I am all for it. I would rather this than kick them out in order to sell. Three down three to go.

So put another way 80% are not very optimistic and 58% are not optimistic. Their glass isn’t even half full and they are bugging it up

Would it be possible to put conditions in the lease to break the rent down into rent and other direct charges. If a licence fee is then charged the tenants will see the direct effect on their pocket

If only my grandma was still alive, I could teach her how to suck eggs

Of course everything for mortgage payers is hunky dory without a care in the world

I am sure that is not a building regs requirement so should not be a license requirement

I would be happy to sell any of our properties at market rate to any tenants. CGT could be an issue but less now than it was since the screw has been tightened. We have a tenant who has been in for eight years and I really don’t want to get to the point of eviction when we sell. If government really want to end private rentals a CGT and maybe stamp duty discount when tenants buy seems like a good idea.

Why would the government want to speed up evictions from private lets. A tenant not paying their rent is a tenant who is receiving a subsidy from the private landlord. Kick them out earlier and the state pays for their accommodation.

The day they announce a right to buy all landlords should give their tenants notice, how many people would that make homeless?
