Gordon's Recent Activity

Not all Letting Agents Paul, just online agents. A good local agent will work with the landlord and tenants to get all the arrears paid. I guess you get what you pay for!

Once again this shows a complete lack of understanding of the rental market and the position the majority of landlords are in. We don't all own 800 houses and live in a mansion. Most landlords have one or two properties to try and supplement their income/retirement so that they are not a burden on the state.

From: Gordon Brown 08 April 2020 12:46 PM

A lot of tenants are on benefits so they have no excuse. The tenants that are working are being paid 80% of their wage and have fewer outgoings due to shops and restaurants being closed so they have no excuse either. I can see the courts being really busy if any tenants follow the advice of this letter!

The simple answer is to allow the landlord to take a larger deposit if the tenant wants to have a pet. It is then the tenant's choice whether they want to pay or not.

"This has been welcomed by David Smith, policy director of the RLA, who says: “We have long argued that deposits should be transferable." Does this man really work in the industry? I'm guessing he doesn't rent any properties out or have any direct dealings with tenants when they move out.

The problem with section 8 is that it is too easily thrown out of court when the tenant promises to pay £50 a month extra to catch up. Inevitably they don't and you have to go with the process and expense all over again. We always use section 21 as it should be a paper exercise and pass through without any problems. I know this isn't always the case of course because some fool of a judge will refer it to be heard in court because the tenant claims they haven't been given an EPC or something. But 95% of the time it is trouble free.

From: Gordon Brown 07 October 2019 13:12 PM

Gordon Brown
No landlord will evict a tenant who is paying the rent, getting on with the neighbours or looking after the property. When will these muppets realise that the only reason people use a section 21 notice is that section 8 is not fit for purpose.

Clearly the head of this major property firm has not worked on the coal face for some time. He has no idea how much tenants abuse the system to avoid paying the rent. Section 21 has been used more in recent years to evict bad tenants as a quicker solution than section 8. Any landlord or letting agent will tell you that a section 8 will get thrown out by the judge just because some toe rag promises to pay £50! It is essential to keep the section 21 option open as I don't believe for one minute that the process will be speeded up.

From: Gordon Brown 18 April 2019 17:02 PM

Whilst this case is very extreme it could set a dangerous precedent knowing what councils are like. They despise landlords and will start grabbing properties left, right and centre.

Let me get this straight. The council want boards to be 14 inches by 19 inches and the logo can cover no more than a third of the board. They also want the boards to be bi lingual?

Hello Nabby Resorting to insults? Always a sign that you are wrong. And as it happens 2 of my daughters are at home but actively looking to buy.

What lobbying? People with good jobs will still buy as there is apparently a shortage. I have 3 grown up children who have/will all want to buy a house. There are plenty of buyers out there. Most tenants will either have to pay more or put a strain on the local councils etc for housing.

From: Gordon Brown 30 August 2018 15:32 PM

I don't know where you live but property prices are booming where we are. I will write it slower this time so that you understand. Prices will always go up and the majority of tenants will not buy because they cannot afford it. The market dictates, not politics! Cheerio old boy

From: Gordon Brown 30 August 2018 14:51 PM

Gordon Brown
Just to clarify for you Nabby in case you were confused! The majority of tenants will still not be able to buy even at reduced prices. Not that prices will actually come down as market forces will continue to push the prices up.

From: Gordon Brown 30 August 2018 13:53 PM

Gordon Brown
Sue Kelly, I assume that you don't understand why a section 8 notice is not worth the paper it is written on. A section 8 notice is defendable and in many cases will get thrown out by the judge when the tenant 'promises' to pay a bit extra each month. This of course never materialises and the whole process goes back and forth which is why you see people who are owed thousands of pounds and have spent thousands of pounds on programmes like 'Don't pay and we'll take it away'. There are too many people out there who have 'action' and 'landlord' in their company name who are wrongly advising on the best way to get your property back. That way is the Section 21.

From: Gordon Brown 29 August 2018 11:07 AM

Gordon Brown
Generation Rent should remember who actually owns the property. What they fail to understand is that the vast majority of section 21 evictions are down to non payment of rent but sometimes a landlords circumstances change and we have to retain that option of being able to sell a property that we own. Take that option away and the majority of accidental landlords will disappear leaving Shelter and Generation Rent with a huge problem. Or not! As all they do is slag off landlords and don't actually provide any answers!

From: Gordon Brown 29 August 2018 09:58 AM

Gordon Brown
To answer Which's questions 1. Why? What will that achieve? 2. There is already one. It's called the Ombudsman scheme 3. If tenants paid their rent on time and looked after the property they would have security of tenure. 4. The law sets out clear regulations regardless of what the tenancy agreement says and they cannot be overridden. 5. There are several options already and the DPS usually side with the tenant. A fairer scheme for landlords would be appreciated. This is just another example of an organisation self publicising about something it knows very little about. What's up? Is membership down?

From: Gordon Brown 23 July 2018 10:17 AM

What happens to the tenants stability in the months leading up to the end of a 3 year tenancy. The likelihood is the landlord will probably want them out if they haven't been looking after the property or regularly late with the rent. I have 3 tenants who have been with me for more than 6 years who in theory could be given notice at any time. They are not worried about it because they are good tenants.

When will these clowns realise that landlords do not evict good tenants without reason. I have tenants who have been with me for over 6 years and I have no intention of evicting as they are good tenants. Sometimes though the landlords circumstances change and it is essential to keep the option of section 21 available. The government and others would do well to remember who actually owns these houses!

From: Gordon Brown 02 July 2018 10:17 AM

Gordon Brown
These do gooders need to remember who actually owns these properties. We are not a charity! Landlords will not evict tenants on a whim if they are paying their rent and are looking after the property. The Section 21 needs to stay an option to get rid of tenants who are not playing by the rules!

From: Gordon Brown 18 June 2018 11:50 AM

The problem is that people like Sue Kelly expect to be paid more money without earning it. You don't need a University degree to go out there and get a good job. You just need the right attitude and to work smart! When people create wealth it also creates more jobs and wealth for others.

Landlords are not a charity. Most are trying to supplement their retirement income and because of the increased regulations and tax burden the only option is to put the rent up. If the government (past & present) really wanted to help they would build more housing specifically for rent.

The only reason Labour have an interest in tenants rights is they see 9 million potential voters! And the RLA wanting tenants to have more rights is akin to Turkeys voting for Christmas. Yes we need to weed out bad landlords and there is plenty of legislation in place to do this already but giving tenants the right to sue will encourage them (and lawyers) to take landlords to the cleaners over every minor issue.

From: Gordon Brown 22 January 2018 09:55 AM

In the real world this figure would be nearer £66,000 and this assumes people start renting at 21. Most people with older children know that they don't move out until their mid 20's and if they have got a decent job generally buy within a couple of years of renting

From: Gordon Brown 15 December 2017 13:30 PM

If tenants pay the rent and look after the property then they will have a long term tenancy. There is no need to impose longer terms on landlords or indeed tenants for that matter. In my experience tenants do not want to commit to a long term but will happily stay in the property for years on a month by month basis. It isn't broke so stop trying to fix it!

From: Gordon Brown 10 November 2017 11:59 AM

Gordon Brown
We see many private landlords who come to us with tales of woe because they have dealt with the tenant directly. Letting Agents aren't just there to advertise your property, we also advise on a regular basis, we do all the donkey work arranging maintenance and most importantly we weed out all the bad tenants. We do such a good fact that bad tenants know that they can't get a property through us any more and resort to contacting unsuspecting landlords directly. Online sites like this will only exacerbate the problem for landlords

Average agent fees of £870? Figures distorted by London no doubt. Our landlords pay us an average of £486 per year including VAT and we probably save them more than that each year. Properties are advertised in a high street location as soon as they come on the market meaning void periods are virtually non existent. We also provide up to date advice on any new legislation ensuring landlords stay within the law. If we get a problem tenant we do all the paperwork at no cost other than the court fees. There is no need to pay thousands of pounds to people who don't know what they are doing like Paul Shamplina as DIY landlords appear to do judging by what we see on TV! If anything we should be charging more?

What a complete joke! How can landlords and agents be held responsible for what the tenants do in the privacy of their own homes? The council and the government make it difficult enough to gain access to the property if the tenants refuse and if you want to evict an anti-social tenant they advise tenants to sit tight until the bailiffs arrive. "This means that all appropriate taxes are being paid by tenants." This beggars belief! Are we to check that they are collecting the right benefits as well? Are we to check that they are not spending too much on sugary drinks? The world has gone mad!

"commit to a six month trial period during which tenancy fees will not be charged." Do these people work for nothing as well? If we don't charge a small application fee to the tenants we will have to charge the landlords more. The landlord will then put the rent up to cover the additional cost. Just like they will if licensing or any other costly and unnecessary legislation comes in. The tenants will end up paying more. Get it!

From: Gordon Brown 08 October 2015 09:56 AM

In my experience tenants do not want to continually sign new 6 month contracts and like the flexibility that a periodic tenancy gives. Also in my experience when a landlord requests a new contract to be signed after 6 months it puts the question in the tenants mind of whether they want to stay on and invariably they start to look for another property. I have many tenants on periodic tenancies that have been in the property for more than 3 years. As for minimum 12 month contracts again we find that tenants do not want to be tied to a property for that long. Landlords like the security of longer tenancies but forget that there circumstances may change as well. On the one occasion that we have done a 3 year tenancy agreement (against our advice) one of the parties needed to come out early which kind of proves the point. There is nothing wrong with the current system as the vast majority of landlords want the tenants to stay in long term. Tenants are usually asked to leave for a reason and that reason is not for paying the rent on time and keeping the property clean and tidy!

Smoke alarms can be wired or battery and need to checked at the beginning of the tenancy. During the tenancy it is the responsibility of the tenants to make sure they are working. Carbon Monoxide alarms are not required if the property is gas or electric heating. Only solid fuel, wood burners & open fires.
