only once have we let a tenant have a 'pet' - turned out to be an alsatian which chewed up the kitchen floor lino,and tenants went ape when we kept the deposit to sort it all out - never,ever,again

disputes can be easily resolved without legal recourse - I'll believe that when I see it

Memo to Boris - Ignore this,in fact,bin it,and get on with more important things.

"the top request from renters was protection from rental increases" - it might be an idea to live in the real world

I would never buy in a block like this

My wife and I have 3 or 4 where the CGT would be over £100k,and then if we get hit by the Clapham omnibus the following week,another 40% is wiped off

Bullies get their comeuppance,what's not to like

Just dragged out one report on one of our properties - assessor says we should install solar photovoltaic panels at cost of £9,000-£14,000 for typical savings of £247 per annum,and floor insulation at £800-£1.200 to save £68 a year - are these people living in the real world?

Can't say I like the sound of Mr Rees..

No mention of rogue tenants-twice we've had tenants trash houses and they walk off without a care in the world

From: Hugh Archer 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.

From: Hugh Archer 01 February 2022 12:01 PM

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

From: Hugh Archer 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: Hugh Archer 08 January 2022 11:51 AM

Maybe 'Lord' Prescott could comment..

From: Hugh Archer 22 December 2021 08:53 AM

I seem to have 4 x D band and 1 x E band ratings - hoping govt sees sense (yep,live in hope) before the 4 years are up - the problem is,where do you put your wonga for similar returns? Anyone any great ideas? Thanks in advance!

From: Hugh Archer 24 August 2021 10:35 AM

cheap at twice the price

From: Hugh Archer 03 August 2021 09:01 AM

Can't see many tenants taking out insurance; as with Dlighted,suspect this won't last the course

From: Hugh Archer 26 July 2021 09:00 AM

Sounds like there's plenty more where this guy can't now be touched,who said crime doesn't pay.

I wouldn't buy an investment property in Tower Hamlets at any price.

From: Hugh Archer 04 June 2021 09:24 AM

Many thanks, I was pretty sure of myself,but she put me on hold while (supposedly) double checking and answer was the same- ffs!

From: Hugh Archer 18 May 2021 16:43 PM

HMRC told me yesterday losses can only be carried forward for 3 years-I am sure this is incorrect,anyone know for sure?

From: Hugh Archer 18 May 2021 11:33 AM

Have only ever had one house well and truly trashed by tenants - guess what,DSS

From: Hugh Archer 19 April 2021 09:31 AM

Agree with Andrew

From: Hugh Archer 06 November 2020 10:15 AM

Is he a member of momentum-this is the sort of rubbish they would spew out;absolutely no idea how the real world works

What does the landlord say to his mortgagee?

From: Hugh Archer 16 October 2020 09:35 AM

am not sure the door does swing both ways - mostly bends over backwards in favour of tenants

From: Hugh Archer 06 October 2020 12:05 PM

David Crisp and Matthew Payne - thanks for your replies,this has been most helpful - tenant says he is moving out tomorrow....won't hold ma breath- Yours Hugh Archer

From: Hugh Archer 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?

From: Hugh Archer 10 September 2020 09:19 AM

what does government gain from that?
