Why we allow the council tax to be increased each year? Do they have the license to do this?

From: Jeanne NG 16 January 2019 15:15 PM

good news or not, it is warning that some agents' fee is too high and greedy. As landlords, we never charge introduction fee, never ask tenancy deposit more than a month rent, we don't abuse the business opportunities and we are very customer service oriented, in brief. Business is getting tougher and tougher, if the price value did not match the service and quality of the product provided. You will be out soon. This is a very good message to those who are bully and think they know it all but neglect both landlords' and tenants' right in the way how they manage their business.

People have been cheated to purchase Cambridge cookers on the website, Bank account is with LLOYDS Bank. We are talking about a giant bank not a small one. The Bank refused to refund the payment but have the fraud accounts. The police could not locate the criminals but the bank have the fraud accounts. The bankers should be fined and sent to jail because they have opened fraud accounts like landlords took the illegal tenants in. It is so unfair and unjust to landlords. Is this a racialism to landlords? We must ask the question!

The list is very helpful, we had bad experiences with Foxtons and Ocean. we are craving for a list of rogue tenants?

From: Jeanne NG 23 May 2018 10:20 AM

My experiences are do not work with the law firm connected with letting agents, do not use the solicitors connected with the sales agents. They are not on the side of your advantages and benefits, they are always and only on their own side.

Let's not forget, most of people in UK always on holidays, in a more provincial areas, they (in this case are solicitors, administrators and block management, secretaries in the management who provide documentation to solicitors) work in a slow motion if they are not on holidays, believe me, it will take more or less 3 months to complete a purchase process. Strike while the iron is hot. When you lose the favourable condition, you lose the deal. As one of us just said, we are dreamers in UK.

From: Jeanne NG 14 May 2018 10:22 AM

Totally agree. We have tenant did not pay rent for 7 months under a full management contract with a letting agent. It is all because the government "protect" the wrong tenants in a wrong way. Who protect us who are working hard for living and paying tax and bills on time??? Good people need more human right nowadays even in doing our business. This is Free Market, let the market flows towards its own direction. Money, economy is like water, it will not need a guideline by a government, it finds its own way to prosper.

It is time government create new inventive to bring business to the key cities to stimulate economy growth. Government should stop playing politics with independence as this has negative affect on economy, creating so much uncertainty. We need new business to be brought into Edinburgh to help the local economy stimulate salary growth and GDP, so Scotland can prosper. Edinburgh council needs to be more active in collecting their bad debts, chasing tenants who do not pay, rather than increasing council tax which is 30% higher than LONDON. Amazing!!!

I do not know why we are worried and talking about this so much, it is obvious that we prepare the best condition of the property we could to attract clients; client choose what suit them the most. It is the same concept when we enter a shop, we will make a decision to purchase the product on the shelf or not. Why a political party needs to spend their and our previous time to talk about if tenants or landlords should keep pets? Perhaps landlords will be forced to take pets is the next step? Honestly, I think we have too much time on our hands, so do the politicians. Do something meaningful, Please.

Cut the Very Expensive Council Tax in Scotland and relieve some of the heavy tax, let's start from the head - the government in Scotland. Do NOT always take the people as victims who pay tax for government's salary. We once went to council tax office in Edinburgh to inform them the tenant did not pay council tax and if they need more details of the tenant to help to have the bills paid, the officer who was there to control the queue replied, "it is none of your business!" It is this carelessness and rudeness made the council tax charge so expensive today - The ones who pay also pay for others' debt. Conservative should take full control in Scotland, we give them too much of the space to manipulate and they will become a traitor soon.

Let's not forget landlords do support lots of tradesmen, electricians,...etc., and keep them in business. So indirectly, one can say landlords do employ many individuals.

How about to Cap the Very Expensive Council Tax in Scotland?

From: Jeanne NG 18 April 2018 12:14 PM

We definitely create lots of job opportunities by working with landlords, landlords have good and bad, like all other industry, there are good tenants and bad ones too. Balance is what we need in society. Since some politicians have been named here, we would like to emphasis there are lots of us support May, be careful about J.Corbyn style - Divide and Rule, to turn people against each other. This is the least we need in a modern civilised society. We should support people who are trying to do the correct things. We support the idea to support private landlords rather than attack, you have no idea how much Sxxx we have to swallow from a weak jurisdiction system, misbehaved agents, lease management companies and rude contractors. Landlords seem like a last piece of meat in the ocean for all the sharks to come to chew up. With all the tests and fees we need to pay back to support the society, the first month rent is 0 net profit already. Who still think they have the right to attack landlords?

From: Jeanne NG 18 April 2018 12:06 PM

45% of the complaints were from landlords? Oh, it is not true, we have been threatened many times by tenants but we have no where to complain to, who will listen to landlords? Many good landlords have never had made complaints because we couldn't be bothered, the system does not work. Ombudsman will not work either. Many of us do not have the time and the money to waste on this weak system.

Everyone wants to share the pie, landlords' pie, that's it.

From: Jeanne NG 10 November 2017 08:54 AM

A good government do not divide people, do not create hate. Most landlords are lawful and good landlords, we work hard to save enough to invest on buy to let, we were not born with it. When we were younger, we did not have our own place to live. I don't remember we have made any complaint. The government has a tendency to please certain group of people without principles, for popularity? for vote? Very soon, you will have no investors, no tax revenue, because the government is attacking the only business that is working well in UK. Councils should take care of illegal HMOs and poor living conditions, this is the area to be focused on to help the tenants. Government should reduce tax on low income and MPs should learn how the real estate market works. Last two years, bombardment on landlords has destroyed the market for everyone - tenants, agents, landlords, contractors, and tax revenue. The less people have money, the more problem we will have. In the end, UK will be in trouble. I do not understand why students do not need to pay council tax as an example, especially foreign students? There are lots of places government can rectify its policy to find revenue. Why government do not force to raise the salary? wages? so people can afford the rent and buy properties. Create opportunities is the key for UK. Councils have no system to collect council tax, tenants jump from one property to another without paying utility bill. Did the government count all those bills to landlords to pay? Council tax has increased year on year and now we are talking to a machine when we call, it is always a 30 min call. Where is the service? When we pay more than £1500 in average per year. Lots of things are not doing right in UK!

From: Jeanne NG 14 October 2017 18:08 PM

We have a tenant did not pay rent for 7 months, did not pay council tax, utility bills, possibly in jails too; we have tenants refused to share reasonable cost of repairs and maintenance; we have tenants did not want to set up a standing order but always pay rent late; we have tenants deduct rent payment without having a discussion; we have tenants...etc., we can not wait to put their names on the rogue tenants list. By the way, how do we judge if the tenants are "qualified" to report any landlords as rogue landlords?

From: Jeanne NG 12 October 2017 14:49 PM

Well, council tax is too much, parking is too expensive, daily grocery is killing my budget! If Corbyn can successfully control the price for a cup of coffee, then let's talk! Why can't we be more creative and imaginative to bring up more profitable investment schemes / programs to divert and attract the investors? It is TOO EASY for a politician to just talk about controlling. A successful leader will bring more cash to his people, not to take it away from them. Think, Think Hard, Corbyn!

Where to report a ROGUE Letting Agent in Edinburgh? Our situation was similar, the neighbours reported our tenant sub-let the flat and we had a letting agent at that time. Owners of the flat are usually the last ones to have the fact.

From: Jeanne NG 22 September 2017 10:18 AM

As long as landlords will have to face criminal sanctions, passport will be a standard requirement for most of the landlords to protect themselves. Will letting agents face criminal sanctions when they screen tenants on landlords' behalf? Will passport control officers at the immigration face criminal sanctions if they let criminals enter the country? Why the punishment is so severe to landlords?

From: Jeanne NG 16 November 2016 11:32 AM

Not only homeless, rental issues, think about how many people in letting and sales agent industry will lose jobs because lack of demand. Surprised our government did not see those are coming next. Very Smart!

From: Jeanne NG 16 November 2016 11:06 AM

If the tenant deliberately do not pay the rent, take advantage of the law, they should be considered as a thief and be taken to the prison after eviction if they can not prove they are bankrupt.

From: Jeanne NG 18 October 2016 13:15 PM

The Council Tax is already extremely expensive. Reduce the council tax!! "Landlords" are not like the landlords two hundreds years ago, most of the landlords are middle class working families and looking for the safe haven for their pension fund. Enough is enough.

From: Jeanne NG 10 October 2016 10:40 AM

Yes, if the judicial system is healthy.
