Yep, I can hear the supply of rented housing expanding rapidly as we speak…
From:
James Fraser
28 March 2024 09:47 AM
Absolutely crying with laughter here! So, to recap: GR ‘activists’ campaigned vigorously to get rid of private landlords by loudly telling them they should pay extra tax and ideally go altogether. 35,000 landlords heeded their advice and started holiday lets, only for GR to bitterly complain that renters were ‘being forced out of their communities’?! I’ve definitely understood this correctly, haven’t I?

So I’m confused - can we serve S21 or not? And how has a CC case not followed the ruling of the Supreme Court, which is binding?

Serge, I’m liking some of your answers here. You seem to have a much better understanding of the PRS than that clown Kahn. But the problem is that even if you could immediately free us from the 100%+ taxes (we now pay tax on losses, so theiretically an infinite tax rate) you can never control the other costs. Materials for instance have doubled or tripled in some cases, meaning everyday maintenance can now be a major financial drain. Insurances, legal fees, court costs, management… nothing is getting any cheaper. But headline taxes - CGT, SDLT and the moronic Section 24 - need the most urgent addressing if we’re to free up stock and lower rental prices.

Paul Johnson should be Prime Minister, or at least head of the Treasury. There’s still some sense left in the world then. He was always a keen opponent of Section 24 and I can’t fault a word he says about landlord taxes. Put him in power NOW!

Interestingly, this brings to mind something else though. Over the years, several of my gas certs have been late. The heating engineer can’t get there, or he forgets, or he promises he’s going but the tenant’s out etc. Sometimes he might say he’s been (so I’m kept happy) when actually he hasn’t and attended on a different day. Many different circumstances exist where I could be held accountable. So how does it work if I think I’ve done everything possible to comply but there is some event outside my hands that prevents the check being done on time? Is it still my fault? What if the gas engineer crashes on the way to the job and goes to hospital, or that happens and he doesn’t tell me? Am I still in the wrong???

Hilarious, as ever!! So let me get this straight. Ludicrously high taxes, licensing, extreme legislation, monstrous fines and an anti-landlord rhetoric from everyone from the Welsh Assembly to the bloke on the street corner is all fine; it’s the presence of holiday cottages in a holiday destination that’s the bit causing the Welsh govt to ‘worry’ about the decline of long-term lets?? I see.

More hilarity from these absolute fools! Of COURSE we’d all rather pay £485 and wait a year or more to evict someone rather than just fix the repair! And how on earth can she claim the eviction process is quicker than the repairs process?! LOL! I can repair virtually anything within about 48 hours, where’s the eviction process that beats this?! Plus the Deregulation Act prevents eviction for 6 months (then a year on top of that remember) so this nonsense about retaliatory evictions is just laughable. No one in this business would believe a word of this tripe.

What utter tripe! These people are as clueless as the government! The biggest, most obvious, most dramatic change to the market conditions - probably ever - is the moronic Section 24, closely followed by SDLT. All the rest of it is just gravy. Legislation is far too onerous, of course, but it is bankrupting levels of tax that has caused this, pure and simple, and until that changes it will only get worse. The lies told about landlords quitting - all ‘retiring’, or the interest rates - are totally invented. Interest rates aren’t helpful but it is the lack of deductibility that’s the real problem. And no landlord I know wanted to retire until these moronic taxes came along! Go figure! I am now selling more than 20 houses and putting 20 families into the demand side of the equation. What do you suppose this does to the overall situation?

Gove is a disgusting gimp-faced fool. I loathe him now more than ever. That response is moronic, and word-for-word what the Treasury has been putting out for 8 years. Pure nonsensical sophistry. Twisted, ludicrous stupidity dressed up as a respectable response. How is it possible for him to say he wants a ‘thriving’ PRS whilst simultaneously insisting it needs to be taxed out of existence?? Does not he or his colleagues ever stop to think how idiotic they make themselves look? An absolute farce. I’m about to start evicting 26 families ENTIRELY AND SOLELY because S24 means I can no longer provide the houses. A well-run 27-yr business needlessly down the toilet. How is THAT a ‘thriving rental sector’ then, Gove?! What a total dunce.

Ah yes, another caring sharing socialist demonstrating just how much he cares about mass evictions and rocketing rents. Let me guess - you’re the first one yelling for rent caps and bans on evictions, without ever having the slightest wherewithal to question why they are happening in the first place. Keep your campaigning going! You can then complain there isn’t anywhere to rent! (All without the slightest hint of irony or self-awareness!).
From:

There’s something a bit off with your timeline there Jim. I’ve been on the inside of the NRLA for 20 years, including as a regional rep, and have never known you to be on the team. Also, you couldn’t have been in the new NRLA before David Salusbury had a word with you as he was dead long before the NRLA came along. We’d had Richard Lambert as chairman in the years leading up to the merger. Just sayin’.

Absolute comedy gold. So DWC thinks it’s a dreadful assault on renters finances if they suffer a rent rise due to energy improvements, but doesn’t see fit to criticise the massively bigger rent increases caused by the landlord tax disaster that is S24?! Hmmm. Interesting. Also, if I want to put the rent up it absolutely WON’T be because of the extra energy efficiency measures (it will), it will just be because market rents have gone up generally. What’s he going to say about that?!

He’s hilarious isn’t he? Absolutely no awareness whatsoever of the real facts and issues, and instead events absolute nonsense to justify their existence.

This is appalling. But entirely predictable. Of COURSE it’s not the tenant that lives there causing the rubbish! OBVIOUSLY it’s the landlord doing all this and he rightly must be ‘hit in the pocket’ as the genius in the council says. Can’t possibly be the people that actually live there now, eh?!

Much as I cynically laugh to myself when I read this, it actually doesn’t bother me too much. We’re still a long way from them telling us how to select people. Let all the families/benefits/(pet owners?) apply! Let them waste their time filling in the application! We can just ignore all the ones we don’t want. How are they ever going to get inside our heads and tell us what to think? Can you imagine them trying it: is there to be a legally-enforced flowchart of decision-making when there’s 50 applicants for each property?! Hilarious. Bring it on.

Hilarious hypocrisy. How we laughed! So TMW will be abandoning their stress testing that often DEMANDS rents are higher? Maybe they’ll be slashing their interest rates to help us pass on the savings to the tenants? I’m sure it’ll all be fine, I’ll just have a quick word with TMW about them putting up my two 1.99 fixes to 5.49 next month (increasing each payment from £227 to £634 as they go) and we’ll easily work out how they intend to protect the tenants from the rent rises to cover it…

I’m exceedingly concerned about IHT - it’s one of the many taxes that keep me awake at night. But not for one single second do I think the Tories have the slightest intention of making it easy on taxpayers, particularly if their wealth came from property. I haven’t the feintest belief that they will change IHT for the better, and when Labour get in it’ll be 40/45% for CGT, IHT and, knowing how economically illiterate they are, corporation tax as well!

Wait, so if I build a new home - say, a £1m 5-bed - I can only sell it to a FTB?! What if I take a derelict and substantially renovate it, must that also only go to FTBs? And what will be the situation if the buyer was a home owner 20 years ago but had got divorced and gone into rented… are they now forbidden from owning a new build?! I’m crying with laughter here (and more than a little despair!). It’s almost like they haven’t thought it through…

Absolutely hilarious. They deliberately and proactively say they want to put the rental sector out of business, do all they can to achieve that, then claim to be concerned that there’s nowhere for locals to rent! They treat Airbnb differently because they think of it as ‘a proper business’ then get all worked up about property owners becoming that proper business! Next they’ll say it’s compulsory to gift your rental home to the tenant but be baffled why so many landlords no longer pay income tax! Moronic idiocy doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Shelter were one of the organisations yelling about how they wanted retaliatory evictions banned. So the govt gave them legislation to prevent it. They celebrated. Now they claim tenants get retaliatory evictions when they complain. It’s almost like there’s no pleasing some people - or that the legislation these people say they want never works so perhaps we should continue to ridicule their endless demands?

Just when I thought the Tories might actually have developed a brain cell, they wheel out yet another one who proves that isn’t the case. If McLean thinks there hasn’t been a shrinking of the sector but a growth, perhaps she can explain why tenants are always complaining there’s nowhere to rent and that they think rents are rocketing? Even Shelter keep telling us rents and homelessness are rocketing but obviously they can’t be if the sector’s supply needs are being met, right? So now we have it from the top. McLean must know, so we can clearly accept her wisdom and genius as correct. No shortage, so no massive rent rises. Brilliant!

I was interviewed on BBC TV news the day they were introduced and said this at the time - that accuracy and their ability to protect the planet were non-existant. I’ve stood by this view ever since. Hilariously, shortly after this in 2008 I fully refurbished two identical twin houses side-by-side in a terrace. Every detail was identical but two different assessors attended. One said the house was a D because the concrete walls were not (could not easily be) fully insulated. The next assessor came to the house next door and gave it a B because ‘all the heat would go out of the roof but you’ve fully insulated that’ !! Go figure.

So, what have the landlords ever done for US, comrades?! They contribute nothing to society… except millions of rental homes… social mobility… around £46.2bn to the overall economy… £16bn in tax take each year… the employment or support of agents, accountants, solicitors, tradesmen, kitchen manufacturers, builders, DIY retailers, material’s manufacturers, EPC assessors, council enviro teams, and a myriad others… Some even become builders of new developments, or teach best practice, or give a better service to their tenants than any social housing management would.

No Richard, anti-landlord sentiment is NOT changing anywhere and nor is there the slightest sign of any MPs taking the problem seriously. They deliberately and willingly crafted this crisis and are proud of their efforts, urging each other to take it ever more extreme. The wholesale changes required - s24 abolition immediately, SDLT reductions, sensible EPC targets and much more - are all things the govt will not even hear, let alone consider. The official line from them to this day, 7 years after the initial attack, is that S24 does not raise rents or homelessness. With stupidity of that magnitude there’s no hope.

Labour are such laughable cretins that you can’t take them seriously. The removal of interest relief from ltd cos was always likely to be on the cards, especially for those fools, but only offering new builds to local FTBs is hilarious. Tulip Siddiq clearly doesn’t understand that these developments don’t start unless money is committed months or even years in advance. No FTB can do this. Also, what constitutes a local? Can I move to an area and buy one of these houses right away? What if you’ve spent 20 years living 10 miles from, say, Truro - would you be allowed to move into central Truro, or would someone who’d been in the High St for 2 years get priority? What if you grew up there, moved away, but wanted to return - is that allowed? I can just see local authorities wanting to commit resources to implementing all this. Labour are trying to solve an impossible riddle and hilariously can’t even see that they can’t.

It is absolutely crazy to suggest that if you claim to be saving the planet, only rental property needs to be subject to MEES. This nonsense is especially true when you consider the govt are trying to get rid of rental property and convert it to owner occupier! If they’re insisting on hitting rentals hard whilst not requiring owners to do the same then we’re really not saving anything. And since the rest of the planet doesn’t insist on this either, I don’t see exactly who this is helping. You just KNOW what’ll happen next, don’t you? Landlords exiting the market will be forbidden from selling unless they can prove their property is a B/C. We’ll have to pay the upgrade costs so the putative homeowners can benefit from our efforts.

Poor Housemartin seems to have misunderstood. The actual figure is 84% and relates to ‘satisfied’ or ‘extremely satisfied’ with their private rental situation. Of the remaining 16%, the largest proportion is those who do not have any feelings either way with only around 4% recording dissatisfaction. Some of those will be tenants who don’t understand the law or their responsibilities so the actual percentage with genuine concerns is small. And the PRS beats social housing on these figures every single year without fail. Also, they mention that no tenant wants to be evicted because the landlord wants to move back in or sell, yet these are two things that will continue under Section 8, so is that now a ‘sword of Damacles’ as well? You do realise that the govt, Shelter and every landlord hater in Britain WANT landlords to evict their tenants so the house can be sold to a homeowner, right? That’s been the whole point all along and Shelter wrote many blogs supporting this. Homeless prevention charity my a7se!

10 October 2022 09:22 AM
I’ve got no problem at all with abolishing 45% rate and keeping corp tax at 19%. Fully agree. The problem for me is rising interest rates whilst we have S24. That is ruinous for almost everybody, even on low borrowing like me. If they abolish it with their list of tax cuts on 28 November then I can easily carry on as normal. But if they cut other taxes and leave that one then I think we know they’re still out to ruin us and we’ll have to start evicting to sell.

What a berk he is. BTL landlords already don’t get in in front of local people buying homes. We are consistently outbid and out-taxed by FTBs who have always (apart from 2 years after the credit crunch) been far bigger buyers than investors are, and are currently running at close to their highest rate ever. Someone needs to tell Starmer to check his facts.

I imagine Caerphilly will be one of those councils wringing its hands in despair and claiming there’s no property available to rent. They of course will completely fail to see their own role in this. And as the planet temperature continues to rise, they will no doubt lay the entire blame at the door of private landlords while defending their own appallingly bad housing and disregarding the homeowning majority. The hypocritical, moronic fools.

So, the second paragraph literally states that the original RTB caused shortages throughout the rental sector, yet here are JRF (who annoyingly share my initials) saying they want EVEN MORE of it?! These clowns haven’t got a clue. You watch, when all the PRS has been sold into RTB homeowner stock, it’ll be JRF complaining there’s nothing to rent! A bit like now when they all screamed for and celebrated S24, only to then become incandescent with rage that rents and homelessness rocketed. I think the only thing left to do is laugh knowingly to ourselves and emigrate.

When is this nonsense going to stop? Whose eyes do they think they are pulling wool over? Shelter have regularly bent and even invented figures based on the most spurious of claims. Even if these figures were true, WHY was the S21 being issued? They don’t seem keen to say. Was the landlord selling (probably because Shelter have spent the last 20 years yelling at him to do just that?!). What had the tenants done to cause this? How many of those tenants had asked for a S21 to assist their circumstances? (I get this request fairly often). And given the long length of average tenancies in this country at over 4 years and the high level of tenant satisfaction, these figures presumably apply to some individual or difficult circumstances, not the norm. When Polly says ‘millions of renters are living in fear’, are they?? Can we see the evidence? And if she has any real evidence, then presumably she can tell us the exact numbers? Or, here’s a thought - why don’t Shelter alleviate this, as they easily can, by spending some of their greed-driven, bloated, corpulant (have I missed anything they call us?) £72m a year of income on actually offering these people secure homes with secure tenancies? Surely THAT would solve the problem they are so desperate to see ended?

All this means is more onerous restrictions on landlords, and nobody showing the govt the folly of their ridiculous and absurd tax policies. Somebody, somewhere needs to tell the govt straight exactly what the results of these policies are for the tenants, who ultimately suffer as a result. Take the tenant fees ban. Ostensibly a good thing, the reality was very different as now all it means is tenants paying more over a longer period of time. Take the end of S21 - tenants want it, but seemingly have no idea that they’ll face ever stiffer competition for housing as only the very best will be considered. Take S24 or SDLT - allegedly to hold landlords back whilst raising rents and homelessness significantly. I understand the govt don’t want to know, but this means they are wilfully ignorant and thus deliberately out to cause tenants trouble. We should not let them get away with it.

They tell us we have to check immigration status on pain of fines, then complain when we avoid immigrants! They do all they can to prevent eviction of non-payers then wring their hands and despair at us when we won’t take benefits! It’s tax, tax, tax, and tax some more whilst blaming us for failures in NHS funding! And most hilariously of all, they introduced anti-revenge eviction legislation in the 2015 Deregulation Act (presumably in the way they wanted it written?!) only to now tell US it doesn’t work!!

And of course nobody points out the massively high rate of income tax/sdlt/cgt paid by landlords, nor the VAT collected by govt on the expenses paid out! As for these figures, they are way too LOW in a fair and legitimate tax environment. They should be allowing full mortgage interest deductions as a true and legitimate tax deduction in the same way every other business can. Ridiculous and misleading nonsense as always.

I happen to offer a 24/7 service anyway, but my tenants know how to behave and rarely call out of hours. But a couple of points leap to mind. The first is that anyone with a brain would simply provide an OOH number for the purposes of obtaining the licence, but if it should be found to be switched off then it was simply a ‘dead battery’ or ‘out of signal’ etc. The whole rule is ridiculous for this reason. Even letting agents with 24hr numbers never seem to answer them til the morning! The second point is that, as Michael says above, landlords have no power. They don’t want us to have any power. So what do they expect we’ll do? If I was called out at 3am to an ASB situation by the police/council, I’d go just so I could tell them I can do the square-root-of-b*gger-all to assist them and they’d better get on with it. See how they like the abolition of S21 then!

They always cite Berlin as the ideal example, but strangely never seem to want the entire Berlin package - bring your own kitchen/bathroom for the tenant, and landlords going CGT-free after 10 years ownership. Funny how they don’t seem so keen to mention that when extolling the virtues of Berlin, eh? It is for these contradictory reasons that the buffoons at GR won’t get this implemented anytime soon.

I’d like to question them on the detail. If a landlord cannot sell at all, how does he access his money for retirement or emergencies? Could the property be sold after his death, and if so, how? Or, if a landlord cannot sell with vacant possession, how are all those FTBs the left are always banging on about going to buy the landlord’s property? And if a landlord has to sell to another landlord, where will he find them if they stop buying because they also cannot evict? And what would any of this mean for quality standards or supply of new property? And would BTR funds suddenly decide it wasn’t such an attractive proposition? I’m amazed that even people as thick as the Greens cannot see the obvious consequences.

Nothing to do with aggressive or anti-social tenants, or the plethora of other reasons landlords might need to evict then? But especially funny was your inability to recognise that landlords might be forced into selling whilst asking the govt for a package of measures to keep tenants in their homes long term!! You do realise that landlords may well be happy with that, but the government certainly isn’t - right? You do know that there are no package of measures ever going to be forthcoming because the government's avowed aim is to get landlords out of the market, not keep them in it?! Blaming landlords for government policies over which they quite clearly have no control is ludicrous and ignorant. If you want landlords providing long term homes then campaign against policies that prevent us from doing so!

But now they want our help? 2. The public hate landlords and regularly express their displeasure at landlords receiving public funds, or existing at all. So we’d better not upset the haters. 3. Boris and central govt have confirmed that they don’t want private landlords either, so maybe these councils and the govt can get together for a quick conflab to decide what they really do want?! Until then, I’m out!

The PM is seriously mistaken on this. The average tenancy is 4.2 years (EHS). I have two tenants of 15 years, one of 12, one of 10, somebody right now RELUCTANTLY leaving after 9.5 years. None of their houses look anything like what I gave them. I have one new tenant just moved in to a £25,000 refurbishment who has almost immediately asked to redecorate my £3000 paintwork. I have agreed, as they seem to want a very long term let to get kids into and through school. I hear this often in my day job as a landlord accreditation trainer. The usual govt horsesht about the sector being insecure and unhomely. And yes, when Osborne spouted his lies about wanting to get FTBs on the Ladder whilst forcing out landlords, there was clearly an ideal opportunity for the 2 to meet in a mutually beneficial deal! But guess what? Osborne was not interested in the same way that this government - now planning to put UP CGT - are also clearly not interested.

Mark. You do realise the evidence says the exact opposite, right? That - apart from the 2 years following the credit crunch, FTBs have for the last 25 years been the biggest, or the very closest second place, of all buyers? If you can show me the slightest evidence - real evidence, not a hearsay comment in the Guardian - then you might have some credibility but the EHS, ONS, NHPAU and even the LSE disagree with you.

But you soon learn!!! With the best will and intention in the world, it HAS to be profitable. Wait til you’ve been confronted with your first £30k refurb after a tenant wrecked it before saying it ought not to be a profitable business!!

The spend on this is around £80,000+ over a 3/4 month period in which there is NO downtime - eves, weekends, all consumed by work.

Agreed Adrian. Blackpool landlords should fight this every step. If the council were that worried about standards they wouldn’t rent out such s*it themselves.

They’re not supposed to profit from licensing so I hope Blackpool landlords demand a precise breakdown, with evidence, of where every penny of that £775/542 is allocated.

This article needs a fair bit of tweaking to get right. For a start, as Barry said, it is not higher rate taxpayers alone who are affected - the author has missed the way the tax shifts tax brackets, even at 20%, or destroys benefits, personal allowance, child benefit, tax credits and even causes some 20% payers to become 45% payers. The author also needs to know that even the government’s conservative estimate of ‘1 in 5 affected’ means 425,000 landlords facing difficult choices. In other words, in the region of 1-2m tenants as a minimum must face the knock-on effects of higher rents or evictions. If you believe in the Pareto principle, this 20% of landlords, as portfolio holders, will cause 80% of the damage. Some surviving landlords will adapt their game, but a whole load more won’t. We are already seeing the effects of this (rental demand up 18%, supply down 8%). A perfect storm is brewing.

Rebecca, you are spot on in your assessment. Councils, govt, the left generally - all arehappy to slag us off publicly for 'pocketing' (whatever that is supposed to imply) whilst simultaneously complaining locally that no landlords will assist with housing LHA! Proudly tell them why you refuse to help - its because you'll only be attacked if you do! Whenever I get slagged off for the Housing bill, I confound everyone by proudly and excitedly explaining that I flatly refuse to house certain groups in order to avoid that exact scenario - that usually wipes the smile off their faces! As for 'pocketing', what were the contractors doing when they charged £141,000 for a single speed hump? What were large contractors doing when they charged £10,000 per house to supply and fit the cheapest trade 8-cabinet kitchens to council houses? What was a plastics supplier doing charging the NHS 35x the true cost of disposable tweezers? Nobody even mentions any of these examples - they're all welcome and necessary suppliers!!!!!!

1664. As Ive pointed out elsewhere on this site, you are clearly howling at the moon with pretend knowledge. Let me demonstrate: Number of FTBs 2010: 168,000. Number of FTBs 2015: 257,000. Amount borrowed by BTL in 14/15: £15.6bn. Amount borrowed by FTB in 14/15: £47.7bn. (Source: CML/BOE). So how exactly are landlords squeezing out FTBs? When you say 'levelling the playing field' I presume you mean FTBs need to be held back to match the TINY volumes landlords are transacting - yes? Also, it is FULL removal (100%) with a (temporary?) 20% credit applied AFTER the 100% deduction has been calculated, so next to useless really. And exactly where, how and why would anyone but an uninformed lunatic think that interest only mortgages had terms in them demanding specific repayment vehicles?! You seem to have utterly misunderstood IO mortgages as you also claim theyre used to AVOID tax??? Eh??

Youre not a landlord, are you Paul? I presume youre filling out your tax return devoid of all the legitimate expenses because youve always happily volunteered to pay more tax than the law demands? Or that you didnt buy on a mortgage because even before this blew up youd had a premonition about how evil it would be for a housing business to carry borrowings, and wanted no part of it? Of course you did. You only declare gross rents? Voluntarily offer rents at huge reductions to market, or house people for free if they say they cant afford it?

Also, perhaps you could explain how BTL lending in 14/15 was £15.6bn (60% of which was remortgages, so paying off previous debt!), yet the poor beleagured FTBs carried out over 3x the transaction numbers and borrowed £47.7bn?!

Thank goodness we've finally got some press coverage willing to tell it how it is! The future of professional portfolio landlords and their service(s) are now in grave doubt. Hammond MUST correct this urgently or we will end up in the same position as Ireland - rents and homelessness at an all time high.

Paul - Barry is right on every count. How on earth do you equate a government-inflicted rent rise with a tenant being properly credit checked?? There is no correlation between the two.
