Re: Selective Licensing of Landlords
Information that came my way today tells me "Local Conservatives" voted AGAINST this measure, now to me it seems a long overdue step in right direction, as the local tory councillors give our site a wide berth seemingly, i wonder why our local arse lickers have not commented on if they think this should be brought in????:rolleyes:

Re: Selective Licensing of Landlords
Long overdue..local councils and housing associations have been under these rules for years, there is no reason why private Landlords should not be governed by the same rules.
No surprise the tories opposed these regulations, after all they are the ones that promoted private landlords by forcing councils to sell the stock off at marked down prices.. most of that housing stock was sold to non English "property development companies"..but they where never developed.. just rented out. |

With all the empties it is a very competitive market between private landlords. We might see stock consolidation with increased owner occupation sales within the red line. |
Re: Selective Licensing of Landlords
I don't know about any "red line" but I can tell you that most of the bought flats on the bottom of tower blocks in London are going for at least a thousand quid a month.. and they are rough.. manky central heating ..no carpets/floors.. just a flat.

Re: Selective Licensing of Landlords
All this should have been sorted out a long time ago..if you rent anything then both parties have an agreement..and just heard yesterday that some councils now have the power to build more houses from the income they get from sales..somethingT Thacther and "her boys" did not allow.

Re: Selective Licensing of Landlords
If someone wanted to rent out just one house, they'll pay £500, which will be passed on to the person paying rent. If someone is renting 100 houses, they'll pay £500.
Is this correct? |

Now if the Tenant is on Social it isn't going to bother them as whatever increase crops up, the benefits system will cover it. (See SJ's post #25, I see exactly where he's coming from) Yet those unfortunate enough who work hard & pay their own way are going to struggle as the costs to them rise. So they will be looking elsewhere for cheaper housing & probably move away from the area, returning you back to square one ! empty Accommodation which you are trying to avoid. So it appears that this proposed legislation will be self defeating. I can understand the thinking & yes it is a good idea to make sure that those living in these buildings have good & safe standards in their dwellings. But those responsible for the implementation should also at the same time put forward strict & stringent rules to ensure the "Rental" costs aren't going to be used & abused, a cap perhaps ? or as with Army Accommodation, dependant on size, bedrooms & amenities pay bands be used. That way across the board the playing field would be even. |

I can see a situation where Hyndburn suddenly has much higher rents, just at a time when many people are having to rent due to economic circumstances, struggling to get mortgages etc. |
