Carol Lucas is potty - that’s why she is leader of the Green Party

Simon - you are completely correct - All 5 of them are a brick short of a full load !!

From: Colin Harrison 22 April 2024 16:47 PM

I wonder how much Nottingham City Council are going to fine themselves as they have just announced that they have not inspected their own council houses & flat for more than EIGHT YEARS!!!!!! That is clearly an abuse of their powers & non compliance with their own licencing scheme!!!!! Smacks of one rule for them & one rule for private rented Landlords!!!! What is our Government Housing Minister going to do about this???

From: Colin Harrison 19 April 2024 08:36 AM

Only 25 years!!!!! - you are still wet behind the ears !!! I've 40 years commercial & residential experience - I find your technical knowledge questionable & your hectoring tone both irritating & disrespectful.

Who woke Gibbo up again??? - what a pompous righteous berk

From: Colin Harrison 19 March 2024 09:25 AM

Us landlords have become 'target acquired' by this pseudo Conservative Government, Local Councils, the Press & sundry pressure groups such as Shelter etc - they will only be satisfied when we have all given up being landlords beaten into submission by all of them. Unfortunately while they may have destroyed our finances & future retirement funds the worst group of people affected will be our tenants. Footnote: Gove is a T_AT

From: Colin Harrison 14 March 2024 16:37 PM

Well said Robin - in 35+ years as a landlord of houses & flats I have only had to evict tenants twice (for serious internal damage & sub letting). No landlord evicts good tenants unless they want to occupy or sell the property.

Gobbo only sings one tune - its the 'Bash PRS Tune'

From: Colin Harrison 26 February 2024 10:40 AM

Why is Gibbo allowed to advertise products on here?

From: Colin Harrison 26 February 2024 07:10 AM

Not a prayer of that happening - Liebour will be in charge later this year

From: Colin Harrison 21 February 2024 15:35 PM

The Conservative Party have lost my vote - what do they expect when they attack & undermine my businesses ??? I hope that Labour do not get a massive majority but I think that is what id going to happen. Landlords appear to be target acquired for all of the Westminster idiots!!!

From: Colin Harrison 09 February 2024 09:13 AM

Why - just WHY ARE THEY INTERFERING AGAIN!!!! There is an obvious demand for this type of rented property - why do the clueless Westminster muppets think that they should try to stop this type of let !!!!!!!??????

From: Colin Harrison 06 February 2024 10:36 AM

I have a block of 6 flats all totally rebuilt 3 years ago to meet all building regulations insulation values yet the EPC inspector gave them all a 'C rating ' - how is this possible???? When asked to justify the 'C' rating he said he could not see the insulation!!!! How do you see insulation in cavity walls???? The FACT that I provided him with the building regulations completion certificates was not taken into account - he said he cannot enter that FACT into hiss assessment form!!!!

From: Colin Harrison 02 February 2024 08:42 AM

Pennycook - What a naïve, silly, foolish thing to say - it betrays a lack of any common sense - typical of some of the gormless MP's

From: Colin Harrison 30 January 2024 12:27 PM

I sympathise with you - the whole way the electrical certification system is overseen is poor to non existant - my company are member of the NICEIC & have been for many years. We continually find installations that despite have a certificate clearly have not been tested by competent electricians. We see fraudulent certificates issued by electricians & companies that aren’t registered with any of the testing bodies. This is normally because the customer/letting agent selects the cheapest price for the test without checking the registration numbers.

From: Colin Harrison 28 December 2023 12:48 PM

I think ‘FOOL’ is a good description !

From: Colin Harrison 27 December 2023 15:20 PM

how about using the term 'Eviction caused by Government Policies' ???

From: Colin Harrison 21 December 2023 08:08 AM

& that is exactly why they will not open windows - we all know that a high percentage of mould & mildew problems are caused by the tenants themselves not ventilating property.

From: Colin Harrison 16 December 2023 16:55 PM

David - any relation to Gibbo? you seem to spout similar rubbish!!!

From: Colin Harrison 13 December 2023 12:08 PM

excellent post - sums the poor government decisions up perfectly

Generation Rant are a brick short of a full load!!!!!

From: Colin Harrison 29 November 2023 12:10 PM

Due to the future Labour Governments threats to private landlords we are taking steps to protect us from their mad policies: 1. We have stopped taking deposits as the deposit registration systems decisions on deposit deduction disputes are biased so much in favour of the tenants. 2. Due to the threats of eviction bans or massive court delays in obtaining an eviction order we are about to start using a guarantor system on all lets to cover rent arrears, eviction costs, property damage, cleaning costs & contractual breaches. I think all landlords should protect themselves as we are target acquired to all councils & political parties.

From: Colin Harrison 10 November 2023 12:57 PM

Barry X - I agree with everything you have said ! The councils target landlords continually - they are notoriously inefficient & their direct works departments have very low standards - how they think they can attract private landlords is beyond me. The appeal to help them out of a difficult position they have created is the laughable policy of idiots - I would not ever get involved with a local council!

From: Colin Harrison 10 November 2023 09:48 AM

& if we think the Conservative (?) government has made a dogs dinner of this just wait until Labour are in charge !!!!!

From: Colin Harrison 07 November 2023 08:38 AM

The Westminster imbeciles still do not listen - just where do they think all of the homeless people their policies are creating are going to live?????? WE ARE GOVERNED BY IDIOTS

From: Colin Harrison 07 November 2023 08:01 AM

Just proves that at every level Gove is a muppet!!! He is an arrogant disaster who destroys everything he touches!!!

From: Colin Harrison 30 October 2023 13:37 PM

The next reshuffle will hopefully see the end of Gove, Hunt & Shapps - all useless!!!!

From: Colin Harrison 24 October 2023 09:24 AM

if anybody has this burk as their agent get rid straight away as he is a MUPPET

From: Colin Harrison 17 October 2023 08:17 AM

I think its clear that some tenants that are aware of the changes government have made & are proposing to make are reducing their security of remaining in the flats/houses they are renting - therefore they are worried - this Conservative Government & previous Conservative Governments are causing this concern & therefore losing voters.

From: Colin Harrison 03 October 2023 09:45 AM

The magic 8 million figure is there again!!! Gibbo loves quoting statistics he plucks out of mid air - do you think he doesn't realise that we are all laughing at his silly comments???

From: Colin Harrison 29 September 2023 10:11 AM

little things please little minds - keep it up Gibbo

actually the word is they're (short for they are)

From: Colin Harrison 26 September 2023 09:55 AM

Rolande - Is your other name Martyn Gibbons?? the stupidity of your comments matches his usual gibberish

From: Colin Harrison 22 September 2023 10:08 AM

Usual Gibbo rubbish - 8 million living in Victorian slum conditions????? just where is this then Gibbo?????- he is just a troll attempting to wind people up

From: Colin Harrison 21 September 2023 07:43 AM

You do make me smile, everything is so simple & easy!! - my experience is that to save a couple of hundred pounds of energy costs to the tenants I will need a spend of around £10K per flat - who pays for this?? Contrary to what you say external & internal wall insulation are not simple or cheap to install - for most properties in most areas you will need planning permission to install external wall insulation & extending roof lines is not to be treated as a 'simple' process. Please quote building regulations for the products you are recommending - this will give the the thicknesses required of various types of insulation products to achieve the heat loss improvements required to meet the proposed values.

All politicians work on the premise that if you tell the same lie often enough gradually people will start to believe the lie

From: Colin Harrison 14 September 2023 10:09 AM

& just where is all the money coming from for these wonderful plans??

Gibbo the troll - you really do spout some rubbish

From: Colin Harrison 12 September 2023 12:30 PM

So Government policy will lead you to evict tenants - I wonder how Mr Brain Dead Gove will explain that one to the now homeless ex tenants??????

From: Colin Harrison 12 September 2023 10:04 AM

Along with many landlords the cost of trying to get my D properties (I do not have any E's) to C's is financially impossible & makes no sense. to have to spend 10's of thousands of pounds to save a tenant £150 to £200 per year is clearly bananas - only a blinkered idiot could think that this is sensible. Can people comment on this fact please - so I spend thousands to appease the idiot Gove - the tenant likes fresh air so generally has windows open which negates the thousands I have spent!!!!

From: Colin Harrison 12 September 2023 08:05 AM

Gove confirms what a fool he is with every misguided utterance

From: Colin Harrison 11 September 2023 11:43 AM

Not only is Gove a fool but he likes to prove it regularly!!!!

From: Colin Harrison 11 September 2023 10:46 AM

So 59% of students felt cold in their accommodation ??? I just bet that this was in our winter months!!!! When I feel cold at home I switch my central heating on!!! Sometimes I really do wonder if the missing link missed out some of our student tenants

From: Colin Harrison 11 September 2023 10:44 AM

I agree - therefore tenants should ensure that they ventilate houses every day by opening windows & adequately heat the property they are in - this will stop them causing condensation on external walls & windows which causes mould to grow. I do not understand why the idiot Gove thinks that mould caused by tenants actions has to be remedied by landlords - maybe he should consider educating tenants????
