We have been landlords for almost 15 years – specialising in students. There is always one AST for 12 months (we have no HMO licence and do not need one right now). We have never encountered any problems.
The little snowlakes would do well in a system where everything is provided on a plate.
I suppose North Korea should be considered by them.

What makes you think Nige is pro-landlord?

I had high hopes when Ben took over as a chairman.
But his recent public statements, particularly on LinkedIn are - at least - thought provoking (not to say ignorant).
I do not think he actually realises how damaging this RRB is going to be for the PRS.
He tries to rehabilitate himself a bit by publishing articles about CGT in the Daily Telegraph and The Times - but it is too little and too late.... Read More
The best tenants we ever had were from the EU. Kept the property spotless, reported issues, paid always on time and in full.
brexitters - wait for the Kent beaches tenants, this is what you voted for.

This scenario strongly smells of communism.
Thanks to brexit we no longer have a route of European Court of Justice to complain about eroding the ownership rights...
I take it that it is that 'path we have chosen' as per destroyer Gove.

I would not bet on cutting interest rates anytime soon. Prices of food and other grocery items will very soon go up due to self-imposed trade barriers (aka brexit checks) on all UK imports from the EU. It only started 2 weeks ago so will need some time to feed through to the supermarket shelves. Already shelves are emptier than before 30 April.... Read More

Maybe if his government did not initiate the war on private rental sector the situation would be now be better.
He is stating the obvious but not looking at the cause.

"What the government fail to understand is the huge problems they have."
IMHO the so called 'government' does understand the problem very very well.
They are just not concerned.
Never have been, never will be.
They are interested in their donors receiving an easy way to cash on the crisis.
And they say - "never mind, there will always be another landlord" - I am pretty sure I have read that somewhere.
Labour will destroy this country, and particularly PRS.... Read More
