My own house is probably a G, while all our victorian terrace rentals are D, bar one, an E - but as they were bought in the last century,CGT would be horrendous, with another 40% going once we pop off- one or the other but both ain't right

Bring back indexation relief! We would be slaughtered by CGT if we sold our properties now,all purchased in the last century,and as we are getting on a bit,re-slaughtered by IHT at 40% of what is left - as I've said before,one tax or the other,but both is way over the top.

Doubtless you will have CGT to pay,then if you get run over by the Clapham omnibus another 40% will be wiped off - maybe one or the other but both seems way over the top.

If I could sell,I might consider it but no indexation relief means we would be slaughtered by CGT, followed by another 40% inheritance tax in due course.

Further to Philip's comment - once had tenents completely trash a place,cost £25k to put right,turned to tenant's father,the guarantor,whose other son,just out of prison,then made it quite clear we'd be well advised to back off....so it's not all beer and skittles.

From:

31 August 2022 12:20 PM
Thanx Ellie and Robert - some of tenants' chums may be a bit 'heavy' so think will go down the CCJ route - but 'managing agent' has been totally useless,now they won't be getting their cut of the rent each month and even then were pretty hopeless,lots of 'I'll get back to you' and 'I'll keep you in touch' only for us to have to chase them up every time; and their negligence in not getting the rent book signed lead to a 2 year delay in eviction and £6k of legal costs (half of which the tenants' costs). So next battle is getting these back from agent,but unresolved disputes referred to Ombudsman according to T&Cs....

From:

17 February 2022 18:17 PM
Government appears to be doing all it can for tenants and nothing whatsoever for landlords - fine to have a landlords register but what about a tenants register - I was recently forced to give a good reference for some appalling tenants,otherwise they would not have been able to rent another property and I would not have been able to reclaim the house - this on the advice from an agent - but I felt dreadful,in effect,deceiving any new landlord.
From:
Hugh Archer
02 February 2022 10:50 AM
There will never be a Tenants Register,GDPR will see to that. Having evicted tenants from a trashed house,I wanted to warn the next landlord but council completely blanked me.

well said - I'm on the way out too but not sure where to reinvest - any ideas for similar capital appreciation and income?!
From:

18 January 2022 09:40 AM
Anyone got any good ideas as to where to reinvest sales proceeds - over the years,the capital appreciation and income would be hard for me to match,safely,in any other form of investment,but I too am nearing the end of the road - you would think we had a Corbyn-type government in situ,these measures are the sort of rubbish I would then expect.

From:

12 September 2020 16:21 PM
S21 date coming up,tenant says can't find anywhere to move to,and is therefore staying put. 1) can we at least put the rent up-it is low at present? 2) can we tell tenant we will seek a PO next year and court will award us costs? 3) can we tell tenant we will not give them a reference,tbey will have a CCJ, and then be at the mercy of council accommodation?
