Polly. If you want to buy a property then you buy what you can afford. If you want to rent a property then you rent what you can afford. Hiking up the rent isn’t something that happens mid way through a tenancy but at the end when the renewal is due the rent should be at the market value. Plus it’s not just the tenants who need to be considered how much do you thing a landlords mortgage will have gone up in the last 12 months and do you really think its right that a landlord who is providing a service should do that at a loss? It’s supply demand dear sales market is floundering because of high interest rates so of course there is more demand for rentals but its very simple if you can’t afford the rent in your area then move area. Most people work from home these days so doesn’t matter where you live!

This constant BS approach of rights for tenants is a joke. Who in their right mind would vote conservative in the next election. GOOD tenants should be protected no dispute there, but, there needs to be a line drawn in the sand, if a tenant abandons a property, causes damage, behaves in an antisocial manner, misses rent payments or breaches any terms of the lease then they should be out immediately no questions asked. Why should a landlord have to suffer jumping through hoops, bearing considerable cost and lost time going through the courts because a tenant has zero respect for something they do not own. The government is enabling tenants, making it easier for them to get away with more without protecting the landlords and don’t get me started in the legal system which is completely broken. 9 month plus to get an eviction order when a tenant is not paying followed by a BS payment plans of £10 a month.

The large number of HMOs is an indication that there is STRONG demand for single room lets. Let’s face it, this is ‘affordable’ accommodation which is what everyone wants! YES come down hard on all the landlords who provide below standard, unsafe accommodation but don’t change the planning because you hear a ‘rumour’ of families struggling to find accommodation! The most robust argument is that accommodation should be affordable and it starts and stops there! HMO’s provide affordable accommodation. If a family can’t find accommodation it’s NOT because there are too many HMO’s it’s more likely because they can’t afford what’s available, so they should look somewhere else or lower their expectations. Removing or making it harder to create HMO’s doesn’t improve the supply issue it restricts it. Simple maths -a family of 3/4 people in a 3 bed house or 5/6 people in a 3 bed house.

What about the property owners who are now in mortgage arrears because of tenants using these ‘no eviction’ measures to their advantage and not paying rent irrespective of whether they are, employed, furloughed or have lost their jobs. The landlords who could also have been furloughed or lost their jobs and who will now be struggling to pay their investment & home mortgages! A 3 month mortgage holiday is all you get which you pay back by extending your mortgage term by another 3 months. No mention of support for landlords. Businesses can still be made bankrupt, properties sold by receivers, The Government ewe it’s states The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has said that mortgage lenders must not start or continue court action for repossession until at least 31 October 2020. If your lender applied to court before the coronavirus outbreak your case should still be on hold. So no extension for mortgages just tenants? I though this country was supposed to support and encourage entrepreneurs!

I’m am SO sick of this labour BS. Landlords are entrepreneurs who work hard to save and buy properties. They should not be penalised they should be congratulated. As a developer and a landlord we have been penalised since the stamp duty surcharge came in. We pay ridiculous amounts of money on Stamp duty, s106, CIL, planning fees, corporation tax all to produce additional properties and reduce the shortfall. We are taxed at every step. Enough of this BS everyone has the right to buy property no matter who you aren’t what you do. The surcharge is discriminatory which in modern society is unacceptable.

29th January we served section 21 papers to a tenant who hadn’t paid rent for over a 1 year. The possession process was handled by a solicitor. We have a court bailiff attending to grant possession at the end of this week which is over 33 weeks since serving the section 21. Why so long well the issue is two fold. 1. The courts delayed the process by supposedly duplicating the paperwork but exact words” can’t upset the judge” with a simple explanation so the duplicated court hearing papers had to be cancelled and resubmitted. No urgency to avoid delays just back in the system and waiting weeks. 2. Throughout the process all GOV Depts. and citizens advice give guidelines to the tenant to stay put, don’t move until you are forced out. Why? Because if you make yourself voluntarily homeless the council won’t house you! The system is flawed if you don’t pay your rent or look after the property as stated under the term of the tenancy then you should be forced to leave immediately. Why are tenants who have no respect for other peoples property being treated like they are the victims?
