Buy to let landlords aren't really recognised as businesses by HMRC. They're seen more as housing charities that they can tax unfairly and rip off over and over again. We're taxed on turnover not profit like other businesses.. That's criminal!!! No way would I recommend someone coming into this game these days. I've had enough of being played for a mug and will be selling the portfolio. Someone else can take on the responsibility of housing these people..

Can't wait to sell the portfolio and escape the madness... Enough is enough!

Shelter need their arses kicking! Just like the HMRC they see landlords as a charity not a bone fide business. Unbelievable what we have to put up with... Can't wait to get the whole portfolio sold... Enough is enough

I have 11 reveal properties and the cost of transferring them into a ltd Co was ridiculous. I was advised not to. I'm selling up instead... One per year... I've had enough... Got to be an easier way to earn a living!

Yes I'll be joining the herd... Sell up and move on... Enough is enough

Keep taking the income.... And even more obstacles, legislation and unfair tax charges etc... Each to their own I guess... But I'll be reducing my portfolio considerably... I've had enough... Got to be easier ways ofmaking a living.

Hurry up and buy more headaches.... That'll be shining bright! Its sell, sell, sell for me... Why would anyone want to buy into the landlord game these days? Time to move on to pastures new for me... I've had enough.

From: Shane Sutherland 17 July 2020 15:44 PM

Me too.. Been doing it for 20 odd years now but like you say enough is enough.. I've had enough of being used and abused.

I read this the other day.. Tell us something new!!

Landlords encouraged to buy more properties so they can be shafted all over again with unfair taxes and legislation. I won't be adding to my portfolio, I'll be reducing it.

Same here Martin. I'm sick to death of it all and have decided to sell up.. One or two a year.. There goes my pension! I don't see life getting any easier for landlords in the future so I'm bailing out. I didn't invest in property to become a charity and it seems more and more that this is what expected.. Free rent, and hurdles every way you turn when you need to make a genuine eviction.. It's almost impossible... So I've decided it's just not worth the hassle...

Tut tut Ray. Get some grammar lessons and do some actual research before you start mouthing off on here about a subject you obviously don't have a clue about. I have a dozen properties... all achieved by the sweat of my brow.... Jealous? Yes I think you are... but then again... you could have done the same thing if you had the guts and the inclination. Don't knock others who are prepared to work hard for a better life and we won't knock the likes of you.. who aren't. I'll be starting to sell my properties off one by one as a result of the way landlords are treated and will be making a tidy profit even after I pay my taxes... It's a shame for the tenants who will have to find somewhere else to live but what can one do? I'm looking forward to pondering over what to do with all that lovely profit that my hard work has made for me . Decisions decisions.... 👍🏻

Well said. 👍🏻 Couldn't have put it better myself.

You're 100% correct there. It feels like landlords are treated like a charity and a subsidy to the lack of rental properties. There's plenty of support for tenants (good AND bad) and Sweet F A for good landlords We're not really recognised as a business and are taxed differently and more than other businesses...if they are trying to make us throw the towel in they are doing a great job. I'm downsizing big style after the lockdown...it's too much hassle....time for a change of direction...maybe commercial property...at least it's treated like a proper business....at the moment!

What a cheek asking for help after shitting on landlords! I'm selling my 12 properties and getting out...I've had enough!

From: Shane Sutherland 09 February 2020 17:01 PM

Landlords are being shat on from a great height and this is unlikely to change....I have a dozen rental properties and have decided that I will sell one or two a year until they're all gone (first one was sold last year)...I've had enough! I'm out!!! Time to invest in something which is taxed fairly like other businesses.
