@NormanBrennan If we want “ordinary working people” as MP’s and not just researchers and lawyers, we’ll have to accept they’ll have skeletons in their cupboards, everyone has, and as long as they’re not extreme criminal, does it matter, after all, Louis Haigh (fraud) is a government minister !
@Ton_of_beam@emmafildes It’s not worth the hassle, and it’s already happening, it’ll take a while yet to see the effect of the RR Bill on the PRS, but it’s started !
@JPWNews What HMG has done to the PRS is criminal. They didn’t think LL’s would leave in such numbers, but they overlooked the age group of typical LL and the fact that 95% of PRS is single LL ownership - it was always going to be the perfect storm, but they didn’t listen!
@MrPaul_Rowley@robprogressive But how do you know there will be “no down years” LL has no idea how the tenancy is going to turn out. I’ve had some of the “nicest” people turn out to be the worst tenants. Also, HMG keep moving goal posts, adding massive cost increases through regulation, tax, SLA and more!
@rosegrayston Where are your stats from? My understanding (anecdotal) is that the opposite is the case. When challenged, it is often found that LL’s are in fact undercharging when set against market rents and in many cases FTT’s recommendation is for the rent to be higher!
@landlord_secret when it comes to the political class, should we be even slightly surprised?
I hope the press dig deep on this one, what skeletons might emerge?
@connor_naismith@connor_naismith and his like simply won’t listen to LL’s who know what it’s like at the coal face . RR Bill is already destroying PRS stock, by the time of the next election there’ll be no PRS left to speak about!
@sp4rkl3jumpr0p3 If councils offered to “buy back” PRS properties, I think there would be a stamped from LL’s, so do us all a favour and please lobby for this policy, please, please please 🙏
@The_Landlord It’s the uncertainty that we’re concerned about. we’re in new territory, with a political class overwhelming anti-landlord the concern is that the judiciary will be the same and purposely stall the process !
@Dan4Barnet You have just introduced bill which will guarantee a huge reduction in PRS supply, the evidence is already out there, don’t take the word of LL’s like me, listen to what the RICS are saying, but you won’t wiil you?!
@mtpennycook@UKREiiF I’m a Landlord in Leeds , you should’ve said you were coming here,I would’ve come and had a chat with you, I think you need to speak to the people at the PRS coal-face and stop listening to the civil servants and the charities that don’t have any skin in the game!
@proptechpioneer It doesn’t matter how much the evidence is mounting, and it is, they will not listen, they never will! Their ears & their eyes are closed, because that’s what they want!
