Whenever a Government interfers in a market it never considers "unintended consequences" Watch this space as rents rise and availability dries up.

Well said - and true.

Having a good time are you ARLA, backing everyone as usual. except the agents and members who pay you? Would be nice to see a bit more visual attention and backing for them and their own problems.

Cairns is a real expert on Lettings & Management like most politicians is he? Give me strength!

Who left the doors open? Who caused the damage? Could it be the tenants themselves?

From: Ray Evans 26 September 2017 09:55 AM

Fixflow would say that ?

More 'tosh' from LAT (GN). Challenged! Better to have challenged and obtained more info. before publication on LAT?

Is not the real housing problem the increase in so many people over such a short period of time?

From: Ray Evans 01 August 2017 13:17 PM

Shelter do not and never have understood thr real commercial world.

.....a key priority for agents and landlords should be to tackle damp, condensation and mould..... Come on lads & ladies - on with the overalls and off you go - for free of course!

From: Ray Evans 11 July 2017 11:02 AM

Goodlord! What nonsense.

From: Ray Evans 11 July 2017 10:57 AM

Rent controls caused the collapse of the previous PRS and this will do it again.

From: Ray Evans 22 June 2017 10:28 AM

Consultations! The usual nonsense and as usual they mean nothing. Wake up people - keep on fighting your cause until the very end.

From: Ray Evans 22 June 2017 10:25 AM

Read the small print. Bacs favours the banks.

From: Ray Evans 15 June 2017 10:57 AM

Just more proof that the Lib Dems live in Cloud Cuckoo land.

From: Ray Evans 18 May 2017 10:14 AM

Agree with both of the above. NFOPP/NAEA/ARLA/PROPERTYMARK members should realise that since the introduction of propertymark (without reasonable notice} confirms that their 'trade body' no longer represents their interests - it is a consumer protection organisation - using their subscriptions.

From: Ray Evans 10 April 2017 13:53 PM

This is one of the results of having a useless government opposition.

From: Ray Evans 10 April 2017 13:47 PM

~ "Worryingly, one in four said they no longer do credit checks as standard” says the report". Worryingly for whome?

What is fraudulent about interest only without a 'repayment vehicle' if the Lender is satisfied with the arrangement?

From: Ray Evans 11 May 2016 16:31 PM

@Julian Bishop. I was a member of ARLA and the NAEA for many years and ever since they became part of the NFoPP they have done very little for and on behalf of the practical problems faced by its paying members. Paid for training, yes. After that nothing much, they have become part of the 'establishment'

From: Ray Evans 09 May 2016 16:10 PM

Graham Norwood. 'Young was an original founder of Intercounty' This is not quite accurate. To the best of my memory the name Intercounty was created and the company founded and traded c1988 by an independent agent in Royston Hertfordshire for grouping other independents in Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex together but retaining their own names, ownership and independence. Linked however to the name Intercounty as a marketing venture (similar to Black Horse). This company name was later sold to an agency in Bishop Stortford from where, as the market improved later in the 1990's, it successfully expanded.

Has anyone else noticed the type of names that the majority of reported rogue landlord have - is it a cultural thing that has been imported into this country?

From: Ray Evans 05 April 2016 14:40 PM

No dog should have to live in a flat - it is not fair to the dog - in fact it could be cruel? Where is the NSPCA on this?

From: Ray Evans 13 October 2015 11:48 AM

This sort of 'council run' scheme will only penalise those who stay within the law already. Crooks will ignore it, as with so much else. I predict that the way things are going within 5 years the PRS will shrink by a considerable amount.

From: Ray Evans 14 August 2015 12:14 PM

Sounds too good to be true? That is because it is. 1. Just another income stream for the councils. 2. The cost? 3. In practice what will it achieve? 4. There is more than enough legislation already - not enforced. 5. The reasons given are utter nonsense!

From: Ray Evans 15 July 2015 15:59 PM

Steve Male, For years ARLA have been interested mainly in accepting memberships, selling courses and third party offerings. Member compliance etc. does not feature

From: Ray Evans 14 July 2015 15:51 PM

There is nothing to 'get'. Much legislation is already in place but not adequately enforced. In my view this kind of MP choose what they perceive is a easy target to be seen to be doing 'something' mainly to make a 'name' for themselves.

From: Ray Evans 25 June 2015 10:40 AM

An independent professional inventory is not mentioned. They are one, if not the most. important part of a tenancy, be short or long.

From: Ray Evans 24 June 2015 14:10 PM

@Jon Tarrey No, you are not.

From: Ray Evans 22 June 2015 11:56 AM

Could it be that the one who doesn't know what is going on is Creasy herself. Many MP's jump on easy targets, that they do not fully understand, for the publicity of being seen to be doing 'something'?

From: Ray Evans 17 June 2015 12:07 PM

@Michael Lamoureux. If I were a letting agent and you stole my boards I would sue you!

From: Ray Evans 16 June 2015 17:22 PM

If a landlord produces the Inventory & Schedule of Condition instead of using an independent professional any disputes at the end of the tenancy could result in the Inventory being seen as possibly biased.
