We ALL gave up our cars 6 years ago in favour of Bromptons and bus passes. Never looked back. We even have Guest bicycles for clients to use. Also went completely paperless 2 years before that. Going “green” is about more than just giving up petrol/diesel cars.

Newsflash: a large amount of tenants illegally withhold access to agents for viewings. It happens literally every day, up and down the country despite leases clearly stating access should be given upon 24 hours notice. Yet, Shelter don’t seem to cover this…

Anyone else feel property industry is facing a lot of government backlash? If they are that worried about safeguarding people’s money, they should start regulating builders which hold client monies (as well as the industry in general). Millions of £ every year are being stolen from people by builders up and down the land...

It works both ways. If tenants rightfully refuse to move out if notice is given or when tenancy comes to an end due to what is happening, it has to be reciprocated. Everything seems to be leaning in favour of tenants at the moment...

Something needs to be done to counter Airbnb taking so many long term rental options from renters across the UK. This a decent start... I would go further and charge hosts the same corporation tax that hotels have to pay, despite employing many people across the country, collecting VAT for the government and paying high levels of corporation taxes.

20.4% management fee?? How is this substantiated? I don’t think even the evil green Giant (Foxtons) charges this much. We charge 9% let AND managed and 5% Managed only. We’ve also got a nice high street office people can come to see us in. “READY TO DISRUPT” MY ARSE. Everyone’s disruptive these days. What a joke!

This has definitely been very evident for last few months but Is fairly well mitigated by the Built to Rent sector driving down rents, to many landlords detriment. I believe Knight Frank play a big part in pricing built to rent units under what they know to be true market value. I am surprised the person involved makes no mention of this...

And there goes the rentals market... why is government idle with its thumb up it’s backside while this and the likes of Build to rent and PRS ruin the rental market for every Landlord who bought before 2016.

When so much housing stock is needed why would you remove potential long term rental properties to offer them to (mainly) tourists and in the process remove money/jobs from the hotel industry? sick and tired of short term thinking.

The guys clearly never worked in the nitty gritty of the rentals market. Stupid suggestion by someone who doesn't seem to understand his business.
