by nukecad

My fixed rate has just ended and I've now gone onto standard rate (the new fixed rates being offered are ridiculous;y high).

Government handouts to tenants or landlords

by AndrewDod

Here is another bit of pending legislation/government spittle that has been ill thought through.

My kid has a tenancy which includes Council Tax and Energy as part of the rent. Her rent has gone up a lot as a result of increased cost of these inclusions.

Now after the fact...

by jpkeates

Possible capital gains tax break?

by Hooper

I saw this link on Tessa's landlord blog.

Reply to Possible capital gains tax break?

by Beswick

The extra properties coming to market could reduce property prices, so you'd lose the CGT gain on the reduction in sale price. It would only be worthwhile if there's not much take-up.

Reply to EPC Certificates for 1977 Rent Act Tenants

by flyingfreehold
