On the BDEV boards some are saying how the house price indices were flawed - they were happy to use them on the way up! Gets on my nerves. Not as bad (obviously!!) as the murder case, but in order to try and save a deposit I've taken to the stock market and lost approx 8% of total savings on it. Taking a lot of money out of there now... Going to just sit tight at home and let the puny interest build on my savings in a 'safe' bank account. It'll be rising more than housing will be so that will do me fine.

She will tell us how we all got rich through HPI in 'A Decade of Property'. To show how fabulous she is she will help an amputee from the armed forces find his first home in 'Home for Heroes' and to show us she is real cute and can laugh at herself we have 'Phil and Kirsties embarrasing bits' Its all enough to make you throw up!

Executive Sadman Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 More likely a victim of the rigsby and rachman type people the industry of rental housing attracts in this country. Even when theyre on homes under the hammer most landlords seem more bent than a nine bob note. Link to post Share on other sites

And for any who say there is risk, apparently there is significant risk in holding cash in the bank via the fact they are insolvent and the CB is engaged in a theft of your money to bailout the feckless.

sundance_kid Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Bottom line is we need better tenancy rights in the UK. Not sure what could be done but my brief encounters with landlords left a lot to be desired. I simply never enjoyed the idea they can just walk into the house any time with a key to every door.

As they are not allowed by law to just walk in ... tenants should always change the locks. A landlord that finds out you've changed the locks can only do so by breaking the law.

Yes and reality is something completely different especially for those at the bottom who can't afford a good landlord. They do as they please, say what they please, deny what they please and allow in who they please. Link to post Share on other sites
zebbedee Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 122% over 16 months obviously doesn't buy you any class. Personally I thought that relating the murder of a woman by some creepy b@stard to high house prices was in bad taste but there you go, each to thier own. Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what could be done but my brief encounters with landlords left a lot to be desired. I simply never enjoyed the idea they can just walk into the house any time with a key to every door. Landlords never really get the fact they are not allowed to come in within prior notice. Lettings agents are even worse. The last property I rented the lettings people would arrange to show prospective new tenants around then not show up at the allotted time. I caught them out however when I took half a day off work. The lettings agent just swing the door open like owned the place only to be met with a right royal rollocking from myself and he was shown the door as quickly as he had entered. Yes you are right about tenancy rights in the UK. They need to be strengthened because at the moment they are too loose and in the favor of the landlord. Now that renting is becoming the norm because of HPI we need better protection and rights for the army of UK tenants that are FORCED into renting. I hate the fact that that front door can swing open at any time due to rouge lettings agents and bad landlords. Link to post Share on other sites

Umaguma Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Should lock up all the flippin' btl landlords - it's their inherent desire for injustice that will drive them to kill innocent kids, were not safe with them on the streets. Link to post Share on other sites
sundance_kid Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I can certainly understand the correlation between high house prices and being forced to rent with a bunch of individuals who normally I wouldn't sit next to on a bus. It's certainly what ran through my mind when I had to rent two years ago. Still it could have been worse, I could have rented the land lords other house in the adjoining street, to which the tenant there subsequently smashed to pieces much to the other tenants dissatisfaction.

Pytyr Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 i dont want to comment on this specific case, it hasn't gone to trial yet so nothing is proved. i do find it interesting that all the media are stressing the fact that he was the landlord. making a very big point of it in fact. i'm starting to think the wind may have changed in how we are told to see landlords.
