These newspaper reports always seem so one sided. I wonder what the real story was?

Jemma, I don't know what political platform you support. But your ignorance of the strategically important private rental business is astounding. But not supprising

From: Terry Knott 30 September 2022 11:01 AM

Why are you giving these ignorant nut jobs Legitimacy by publicising their manifesto. Should have been written as a piece exposing them to ridicule. Ahh I see.

From: Terry Knott 18 August 2022 11:05 AM

Hey Guys, I love and support your comments. But please write your concerns to your local MP and local councillors. They will then have to take note of your conclusions of the harm current and future policies bring. Remember politicians don't know the true effects as they have so called experts to guide them. Let that expert experience be yours. Make sure you all share this message. Let the interfering classes hear our message. Fill their in boxes and letter boxes with the truth to counter the lies and misinformation of self appointed campaigning experts. Ps.. pass it on.

Surly for most city centre workers. There has been a natural move away to the country to find more room to work from home. Plus for the occasional stay in town air bnb is perfect for them as well. It's a lot cheaper and private for them. They dont always want or need hotel services. Plus I can't imagine new cheap style hotels being allowed to be built in the centre of Yourk. We have to allow strategically important flexibility in rental facilities available. Is the government ever going to be able to fulfill these needs. Hmm judging by their own statistics I dont think so. Did you know that the majority of housing stock in most cities were built by private landlords. To house the legions of factory workers. It was failed government policy that persuaded them to build tower blocks after the war rebuild. We know how that ended. They should have rebuilt and reformed the industries. Which sadly due to government apathy allowed them to die. They should have then helped the communities rebuild and modernise themselves. Instead of politically stalinist so called community slum clearences. So the current crisis is on the government. Isn't history great, yes, but only if you know it. Just on a side note all governments have been responsible for all this communist bull***t idealism. I wonder in whose pocket they are in. Just like the current wave of strikes and political unrest, coincidental? Is it coincidental that they are

Well Jason, Good for you Being lucky in getting social housing. How did you do I didnt think there were many left? Did you then qualify for right to buy? Then you have bought a discounted property and removed yet another house from the social stock and you will make a huge profit when you sell. No profit incentive there then. But like I say I am genuinely pleased for you in your efforts to move up in your life. At this rate you may in a few years time earn surplus funds to want to start investing it. To make your money work for you. Sadly due to current sentiment you will be denied the opportunity to invest in a property portfolio. Still regarded as the safest form of investing. Instead you will only have the likes of maybe Bitcoin? Ah if you had, your investment would be nearly gone. In comparison property prices have doubled about every 10 years. However this is not necessarily growth in the investment. But weakness in the currency falling in value by half every 10 years. Remember lots of us started where you are. And want to better our circumstances.

So guys, instead of moaning etc. Which believe me I get. Write, not email, your MP even if you think they are useless. They have to reply. Tell them of the strategic need for affordable local rental. Which is flexible to meet the neefs of a mobile workforce. And provide the support for the people that are doing this. I am afraid that just complaining about regulations and taxes will fall on deaf ears Use boris speak. Like strategic, flexible,short or no commuting. Builds local enterprise and regenerates underused accomodation. All for our workers returning to work in our local communities. And also spending their earnings in the local communities. Brexit should mean more opportunity. Not more hindrance. There I've said my bit. Bombard them with real mail. Plus you will receive a nice letter back with house of commons watermaked headed paper for your wall. Let's give it a try!

From: Terry Knott 14 June 2022 12:32 PM

Why are we as landlords not talking about the countries strategic need for flexible renting. So people can easily transfer to areas where there are jobs. Only private enterprise can adjust quickly enough to do this. So we need to be encouraged not hindered in our mission to provide these homes.

What is that video?

From: Terry Knott 08 June 2022 10:36 AM

Allow landlords to do their job with a proper business model. They will do all the work providing they make the right money. And pay a proper tax rate. Wich allows them to offset the costs of setting it up.

From: Terry Knott 02 June 2022 18:48 PM

Organisations like generation rent should be banned for stirring up hate crimes against innocent landlords.

From: Terry Knott 26 May 2022 10:59 AM

Let this be an example to all those who seek to demonize landlords for purely political reasons. Private landlords in fact are providing strategic flexibility in housing provision. We should be getting assistance to help us provide more and affordable homes to rent. Instead we are being used as a political football between the government and the alt left groups.

Great idea from a private company.

What is over-tourism? So now the powers the be are going to restrict the numbers of people going on holiday during summer peak times? "Viva espania"

From: Terry Knott 16 May 2022 11:16 AM

Hey Unions! Why not fight for your members rights to have decent pay? Enough to afford housing costs and living expenses. Also fight for more jobs in the energy and building sectors. Finally fight to ensure that when their members lose their jobs through illness, physical or mental. That there is enough money to pay all their living and housing costs and support for them and the landlord/lender. To stop them going into arrears. This should resolve 99% of the housing crisis. As for the incurable feckless 1%. Perhaps they can live in debtors work houses. Homelessness sorted. How about we all write letters to our MPs and leaders to implement this. I don't mean emails as they are too easily ignored.

From: Terry Knott 12 May 2022 10:21 AM

So the government is going on a mad spending spree. Building more social housing to cover the inevitable shortfalls of housing? Hmm... don't think so.

From: Terry Knott 12 May 2022 09:47 AM

It wasn't long ago that most people rented. My Grandparents generation were the real generation rent. When you see how far we have come already there is nothing to complain about. Other than for political noise.

Hey guys, As a provider of strategically important housing. I wonder what the stats are for housing the Ukainian refugees. I expect they will all be taken in by the private sector. Which is how it should be. Otherwise they would be taking much needed social housing from our own citizens. Who have been on long waiting lists.

From: Terry Knott 24 April 2022 13:50 PM

Hey guys reading reading and responding to the the post. It's about time some positiveish reports are being published. Not that the rental rousers will see it as that. We see that 80% agree with the PRS They see the 20% that dont. This 20% shouts because they feel disenfranchised by everyone else. We don't! We are to busy keeping society housed

From: Terry Knott 24 April 2022 13:42 PM

So government man up!! Help these people pay their rent! Then they will not become debters and homeless. Aso their shelter provider will still be able to afford to house them. Simples! 🤔

From: Terry Knott 31 March 2022 14:19 PM

Sorry guys only joking! But hang on if this was true and the need for a strategic plan for housing was really being put in place. I and my tenants would vote for it all day long. We housing providors supply much needed homes for people and businesses. Just like farmers provide food and we should be praised and supported like them.

From: Terry Knott 31 March 2022 14:10 PM

Did I hear correctly? a national register for all landlord and tenants? Public and private?. This will surely pave the way to more quality homes being made available to everyone at fair rents once the playing field is level. Please share the great news everyone.😀👍

From: Terry Knott 31 March 2022 14:02 PM

What about fair tenant controls. Where the government underwrites the tenants rent. Incase of their failure to pay. And covers for any damage done by the tenant. This will bring more Properties for fair rent back into the market very quickly. As I'm sure there are lots of people with potential nice properties or rooms to let but at the moment are hesitant to bring them on line. This is based in experience. The courts are useless and expensive to recover money owed and for damages Government yes you! Stop bleating about the lack of housing which you created. And really help by supporting those who are really providing homes for people.

From: Terry Knott 31 March 2022 11:35 AM

More lies to beat up small business. To justify taxing us more. Clever spin by saying working people pay extra tax and property companies dont pay the same tax. Conclusion, make the companies pay the same? I don't think so. what about the unfair level of taxes property companies already pay. Like I have said before. We should be in the same category as farming. With the equivalent taxation regime.

One tenant offered me sex in exchange for the rent. I didn't fancy him. I don't swing that way. Luckily he left soon after. Telling me he had found a sugar daddy to live with. Life eh, you couldn't make it up.

From: Terry Knott 02 March 2022 11:03 AM

It would be better to ensure that the holiday Properties are being used fully by owners or holiday makers As it is heartbreaking to see empty Properties and failing holiday areas. Because of the lack of customers. For example, in Swiss ski resorts with short seasons, owners are compelled to pay huge rates fines. If they do not let their properties for at least 10 weeks. Out of the 16 week season. It is generally recognised that holidaymakers spend 10 times more in the resort than visiting owners

From: Terry Knott 04 February 2022 13:40 PM

The problem with a national register of rogue tenants is it would expose the lack of social housing. With councils and government being made responsible for them. Because no private landlord could afford to have them.

From: Terry Knott 04 February 2022 13:24 PM

Hi everyone, I think it is only fair that councils take on the debt of tenants. After all private lanslords appear to have been saddled with the responsibility of housing them. Along with ncreasingly more regulations and even licensing. While Having all the responsibilities but not getting paid for them is not fair or just.

From: Terry Knott 27 January 2022 09:46 AM

I think you should add the tag. Small housing providers or something like that. Whenever the word landlord is used. So that people can associate the word landlord with how important we are for society. There are too many ignorant people.

From: Terry Knott 06 January 2022 09:33 AM

Job title sounds Mike its a made up Mc Job. My apologies to Mcdonalds. They at least provide real jobs and opportunities.

From: Terry Knott 30 December 2021 08:18 AM

The best answer is to have the government treat landlords as an essential service. And as proper businesses. They will eliminate the housing crisis without costing the taxpayers a penny. How about that for a statement. Ps rent arrears and persistent debtors should have some kind of official record. Many are not genuine. But give real help to those that are. Including financial support for landlords.

From: Terry Knott 25 November 2021 11:46 AM

I have nothing to add but my 100% support for landlords human rights. We do not deserve to be desriminated against just because politicians have an agenda. IE. Public renting good Private renting bad Errr are the councils/ government Actually providing, affordable decent places for people to rent? No! Are private landlords in the face of more and more "government regulations and taxes" still providing accomodation for people? Yes

From: Terry Knott 25 November 2021 11:35 AM

May I Say, how do such idiots get into parliament? The answer to their stupid statement is very simple. How can landlords private or otherwise. Rent places for people to live. Without being able to charge enough money to cover ever increasing legal requirements. And earn a reasonable reward for providing a vital service to society.

I would love to pay a windfall tax if I had a windfall. However I would also like to get a tax rebate or grant improving my housing stock. To keep up with government initiatives. Windfalls, what planet is he from? Ahh of course the green planet.

From: Terry Knott 25 October 2021 21:06 PM

What a ridiculous plan to save energy by costing so much money. On spain most homes don't have central heating. But it can get very cold usually for a couple of months. They either use their aircon (heat pumps) as heaters which is expensive. But no different from summer aircon use. Or wood/pellet burning boilers I'm not sure what the cost for those are in UK. Hmmm.....

From: Terry Knott 22 October 2021 10:56 AM

If tenants fall into arrears. There should be help for the landlords. The scheme would start to work as soon as the tenants fall behind on rent more than 2 months. This intervention will have many benefits . Help can be directed to the tenant to find the cause. A loan package with low interest will give tenants and landlord piece of mind. Landlords are not charities. Nobody benefits if arrears add up and then eviction is proceeded. Government help and intervention for the tenant is much cheaper for the country than the fallout from evictions. This has to be robust intervention with guarantees from both sides. This has to be a hand up not a hand out. This is compassion with dignity. But more over good financial and social sense for all involved. Remember, promising to build new homes doesn't help people in crisis now. That means tenants and landlord.

From: Terry Knott 20 October 2021 02:33 AM

Of course they have found a tiny amount of landlords not paying their full tax. I'm sure they would find it no different or worse for other businesses. But more worrying is the headline grabbing way of announcing it. Let's be clear, landlords provide homes for people. This is essential. Yet instead of being congratulated. They are being accused of greed and profiteering. And so are treated with more taxation and regulation than any other business. Interesting to note when I put down my profession and income to the bank. I am told it's not a real job and the money I earn is not wages. So I can tell the HMRC that I'm unemployed and don't earn money? Hmm.. I don't think so

From: Terry Knott 11 October 2021 11:12 AM

I agree people that rent should be helped when they need it. Buy making sure that the people who are actually giving them somewhere to live. The money should be able to be applied for and given to landlords. Let any debts be shouldered by the government not the landlord. You can also help by recognizing that renting is a business and landlord is a profession. So the same allowances against tax can be made. After all taxes are paid on profits not turnover.

From: Terry Knott 28 September 2021 18:26 PM

As usual those who like to think they rule us. Try to bamboozled us with fake Statistics

From: Terry Knott 28 September 2021 18:16 PM

Well I agree that the government has helped by the furlow schemes. But I suspect it has more to do with tenants not being able to go out and blow the rent money. Call me cynical if you like. And If the f*** the landlord movement gets stronger even less will be owed to landlords. Because there won't be any.
