The laws in the UK are absolute nonsense. Good luck going down the section 8 rule with all these jealous socialists sitting in the council backing the criminals and thugs that destroy our properties and run off with the rent. You are no longer rewarded in the UK for investing, trying to get ahead. No you must be socialist hippy, just earn, pay tax or be a benefits scrounger. Good luck creating wealth for the country to pay for these parasites.

Brilliant reply. Screw this communist government, I'm out. The UK has become an utter disgrace of a political system. I've lived in dictatorships and there's far more freedom to do business. The UK is becoming truly communist, with a disgraceful government and an even worse opposition. They interfere in every aspect of our life and threaten jail, punishment etc for those not complying with their sh"t rules. How is this ''freedom''? UK politicians should stay the hell in the UK and stop preaching anything about ''freedom'' to the world. You want to impose this hell on the whole world? What incentive will anyone have to get out of bed unless you're a banker with links to the tories?

More anti-landlord nonsense from this awful government. Next they'll be sending landlords to the gulags. They are communist pigs this lot. The definition ''private property'' is rapidly losing all meaning. This government interference is beyond ridiculous, they might as well repossess our properties, it would be less stress at least.

This will mean higher running costs for the tenant. This government are utterly shameless. Insulation grants to cut tenant's bills, I could understand but paying towards increasing them with this stupidity is utter lunacy. The government need to clean up the electricity before coming up with this sort of idiocy. We still have coal-powered electric and lots powered by gas, so until the electric supply is totally clean, this makes no sense. It's not good for the environment, it's not good for tenants (higher bills) and it's certainly not good for landlords (dodgy heat pumps that may be expensive to fix and be prone to problems). Just highlights the imbeciles this so called democracy elects.

If the private sector is so broken then why is it that almost every single person I've ever known that was living in a council house, asked me buy them a suitable property in a non-estate area? If the private sector is so broken, then why do surveys show a high satisfaction rate? These silly losers need to get off their lazy backsides and go and learn a trade or something. Contribute to society properly instead of making a fool of yourself in some silly, nonsensical protest that is going to make the situation worse.

I have 2 identical properties with identical loft conversions. One was rated a D, the other a C. The assessors are inconsistent. You can spend money on low energy lighting, efficient boiler with thermostat, roof insulation, then they'll fail you on some nonsense such as no cavity wall insulation, totally failing to take into consideration the damage this can do to some older properties. These assessors are not building control officers or hold any reasonable qualification in understanding build quality etc. Finally, what happens when they inevitably reassess the certificates and this awful excuse for a government come up with some more crackpot schemes, such as downgrading condensing boilers and forcing you to spend thousands and thousands on a garbage heat pump that don't heat the house properly? I guess you could congratulate yourself (whilst freezing away) for trying to save the planet even though your efforts will mean nothing as consumption goes through the roof in emerging economies like India, China and Sub-Saharan Africa.

I don't know what is worse Michael, the scrapping of section 21 or the EPC farce? How can this government lecture the world and preach stability? Even third world countries are not this unstable that a government would just take a monumental decision that basically doesn't allow you to sell your asset and leaves you stuck with someone that can stay there and make life a misery because of ''human rights''. I'm all for the protection of normal tenants that respect and look after your property, but these laws will protect the bad guys and someone should have the right to get their property back if they wish to sell it. The EPC thing is equally as bad. All my properties are renovated to a nice standard, but it's simply not possible to always reach C when you're talking about properties over 100 years old. You put the low energy lighting, the boiler with thermostat, the double glazing, the loft insulation and they still rate you D! Then tell you have to put cavity wall insulation which may lead to damp problems. What kind of logic/brains are taking these appalling decisions!??

I rarely increase rents on long-term tenancies but going to have to get tough thanks to this incompetent government. We're all screwed with this section 21 nonsense. Our houses will crash in value if we're unable to remove sitting tenants. Surely they will have a clause in there allowing us to give a notice if we wish to sell? If not, surely the only sensible option is to sell up now especially with the EPC disaster looming in 2025. They are well and truly trying to kill off private landlords, yet we're expected to show compassion? Compassion won't pay for the upgrades to reach level C on the EPC, which this silly government will insist on.

From: Dani Simmons 27 March 2022 20:26 PM

It will be a communist country soon. Hellhole....funded by London.

From: Dani Simmons 19 November 2021 18:12 PM

The different views show that the situation differs from region to region. I think in general, if you stick to fairly decent areas, demand will continue to be strong. Awful areas will always be difficult to rent, unless you're willing to put up with tenants on benefits and a strong possibility of problems galore.

From: Dani Simmons 02 November 2020 11:10 AM

This is what happens when you have retarded government officials making retarded decisions. They were warned, warned and warned again. They ignored. This is simply not a viable business when you can't get interest relief and you face more and more red tape, more expenses and less rights. Which mug would continue buying properties with these terms? We're treated like the enemy.

In in the eyes of these Guardian crackpots it's the evil landlords that should starve. ''Landlords continue to profit'' What is the objective of our economic system? Every person that gets out of bed to go to work doesn't do it free Guardian morons. Are we breaking the law? There are far better investments with much higher returns than property. We are providing a very admirable service and it's time that was recognised. After all, the government has tried to do it directly and look what a mess they've always made of that. I will never understand why lefties think landlords should put their money in to something to give a free service? The logic is mind-boggling. How do they expect us to service the repairs, interest, services and other costs? By magic? Do they not think we have costs? Why is there a complication here. The answer is simple. 1) If a tenant cannot afford the rent, because they are not working, should apply for housing benefit. 2) If they are only receiving a partial salary, 80%, ok we as a landlord, I am prepared to be flexible and reduce the rent by 20% too. We have to pull together in these times. However, sorry Guardian, I cannot pay all the costs and be expected to receive nothing from my asset. This is not communist Russia.

From: Dani Simmons 16 April 2020 06:05 AM

I think so. I keep my borrowings low and I'm always told that it's foolish to play like that. I'm not interested in having a gigantic portfolio with 75% loaned up.

From: Dani Simmons 08 April 2020 13:02 PM

This is ridiculous. The government are paying people 80% of their salaries so why should they be exempt from paying rent? What are we supposed to live off? Is this a free society or not? How the hell can government have the right to tell a private property owner whether he can or cannot have the income from his asset? Is this a joke? Do these labour MPs have brains? If so, do they function properly? It makes me so annoyed when I think about it. What this John Mc-Stalin is saying is, 'we as a government are totally incompetent, we've wasted money on useless projects during our time in power, and now we're in huge debt because we cannot manage things properly. As a consequence, we're going to dictate to you and force our will that you must subsidize our mess because we'd didn't plan for any contingency''. These kind of politics lead to the destruction of a free society. What incentive is there for us to invest, renovate, do things 1000 times more efficiently than councils (to the benefit of this country) only to be told, we're going to be repossessed whenever, even if you put your life savings into the house, they will tell us what we can or cannot charge. I'm personally not a greedy man. I'll go out of my way to give my tenants the best living conditions, however I cannot do that for free. Still, I'm all for pulling together in these tough times and I will compromise with those that are struggling. However, in a country where housing benefit exists and governments bail out the people in times of need, there's absolutely no reason rent shouldn't be paid. Please go after the ones that destroy this economy, fat cat bankers, tax exile guys, ultra rich parasites that destroyed manufacturing in this country to get access to cheap products from one of the worst regimes on planet earth. Go after them, they created all these messes, not the landlords trying to provide your people with precious housing which is already low in stock!!

From: Dani Simmons 02 April 2020 02:43 AM

Us easy target landlords getting it again. Something in there for everyone but us. What happens if we've worked all our life, invested everything in property and then get told we're not entitled to our income. What are we supposed to live off? Where's our government help? If tenants can't pay and are not working during covid 19, then the government should pay housing benefit as they would in normal circumstances. We're not here to subsidize the government!

From: Dani Simmons 26 March 2020 08:18 AM

We don't need to worry if Corbyn gets into power. He will build us all a new house with free broadband and other beautiful benefits. We don't need to put up with this rubbish anymore, tenants trashing our places, stress and headache. Corbyn will take care of all with freebies galore.

From: Dani Simmons 25 November 2019 10:47 AM

There will be corruption galore with this government policy. Same as there was with the council house right to buy. Unscrupulous landlords will target vulnerable cash-strapped tenants, help them buy from the landlord at the discount and then agree to rent to them as before. Same thing happened with council housing.

From: Dani Simmons 02 October 2019 08:41 AM

I can see how the communists are going to put us in check mate. First they give rights to the tenant to stay for a minimum of 3 years. Then they cap the rent. That immediately handicaps us and makes it impossible to sell up. Then they enact this appalling law. Tenant then gets the right to buy our house at a massive discount. We're left in a mess. Possible capital gains to pay. Absolute disgrace and gives me zero incentive to do anything. I will 100% be going on the dole if this awful, disgusting John McDonald and Jeremy Corbyn get their keys to 10 Downing street. I've basically worked my guts off for nothing. Free country? My arse, a free country. I have zero incentive to do anything with these 2 money grabbing, jealous scum. I'm all for a safety net and for clawing money back from tax dodgers, going after rogue landlords, but leave us good ones alone!!!

From: Dani Simmons 11 September 2019 11:09 AM

Daniela Powell, I don't care anymore whether we leave or remain. For me, Corbyn is more dangerous than anything. I would rather leave the EU if it means no Corbyn. I'd rather remain in the EU if that would hamper Corbyn's chances. Whatever prevents this appalling communist, tyranny loving arsehole from going anywhere near 10 Downing street.

From: Dani Simmons 06 September 2019 09:04 AM

Conservatives must make a deal with the Brexit party, otherwise, we could end up with Farage taking just enough votes away from Johnson to hand power to Corbyn (lib dems and the other left wing loonies will make a deal with the communist to stop brexit). I'm definitely emigrating or going on the dole if Corbyn gets into power.

From: Dani Simmons 03 September 2019 11:46 AM

How the hell have we reached this point? Brexit may lead to a Corbyn-led government sneaking in through the back door and that will have terrifying consequences. Total disaster, these people are communists and this is a communist policy. A free country is not supposed to function like this.
