More nanny statism - I would argue any able to consider buying a home well into 7 figures, or rent a home for many thousands a month, has excellent negotiation skills and is not afraid to use them.

"The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities should improve the quality of its data and insight into the private rented sector“ The only statement in this story that is accurate

My understanding is the comment refers to tenancy deposits, not purchase? So they’d lend a tenant deposit, charge a few %, potentially said tenant could forfeit entire sum at end of tenancy and still be on the hook for the loan - and Generation Rent complain of the morals of private landlords… Presumably they would need to note themselves as ‘relevant person’ on deposit documentation, too? How to make a complete hash of being a landlord. And government seem to be supporting this .

‘ becoming a landlord could allow Lloyds to sell other products to tenants, such as insurance or loans for deposits.’ Obv not au fait with TFA 2019 then?

Big deal - our rent arrears over the last 1000 days are at 0.18%. Simply select decent tenants in the first place and this is a non-issue

These types of proposals simply and clearly illustrate how government has absolutely no idea how the letting process works

In that event you, my friend, will have an installed tenant with zero deposit and previous history of high rent arrears and/or dilapidations!

‘has left a very sour taste in the mouths of many in the renal sector‘ Could simply be a symptom of kidney disease?

‘by switching to an online agent, such as Upad, significant savings can be enjoyed whilst maintain the reassurance of a quality service.”.....until you want to actually meet or talk to someone! Doubtless if a landlord does make contact on an issue no-one will have any first-hand knowledge of his property or know anything about his property until they bring it up on their screen.

What a shower of self-serving, snouts in the trough, sh1t all the industry bodies are!

How about rogue councils, rogue tenants, rogue political activist, Shelter etc etc

Is it just me who’s getting very tired of the term ‘rogue’?

Ditto, we are not reliant on tenant fees to make our business viable. Bring on the ban and a more level playing field. Only problem is - do I want another agent’s landlord that only wanted to pay a couple of per cent commission?

And really pick and choose the best tenants!

The way this government and the Shelter et al lobbying activists are going anys erious long term landlords should be rubbing their hands together in glee. In 5 years there will be such a shortage of rental property as a result of recent policies that they will be able to virtually name their price.

From: Robin Rich 22 August 2018 08:19 AM

At least there are no claims in this story of Shelter being a charity.

From: Robin Rich 22 August 2018 08:05 AM

I think we all know these consultations, as with that for the tenant fee ban are just a box-ticking exercise and the government will do as it wishes regardless to pander to the populist voter. What is truly unforgivable is for the government to keep pretending otherwise

Unfortunately the balanced view won’t make good TV - or sensational headlines

If DIY landlords get it really wrong they may be lucky enough to secure a break at Her Majesty’s pleasure!

BTW we only charged a flat 1% for card transactions - hardly excessive and tenants had the option to pay via bank transfer if they wished.

From: Robin Rich 16 January 2018 07:52 AM

My issue with this is new legislation is that, whereas a retailer of goods can simply increase list price to cover card service costs, an agent cannot. Take a ‘rent collection’ service, for example. 20% of my fee to the landlord will be to account for card payment charges. We are now insisting on payment by bank transfer/standing order and card machine will be heading back to our provider.
