Reply to Government handouts to tenants or landlords

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).

I've not got the new DD amounts yet but from my own calcs the Gas will go up by 80%, however with this £400 (and I should also get the Warm Home Discount again,...

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

Recording of proceedings from abroad

by progress

The recording of proceedings without permission of the court is banned in the UK and it is a criminal offence according to Section 41 of the Criminal Justice Act 1925 and Section 9 of the Contempt of Court Act 1981.

Possible capital gains tax break?

by Hooper

I saw this link on Tessa's landlord blog.
https://propertyinvestorpost.com/lan...ks-to-sell-up/

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.

Bailiff delays?

by silvercar

Reply to EPC Certificates for 1977 Rent Act Tenants
