Former postman Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Typical fat gammon attitude to housing. Expecting others to pay over the odds to fund their retirement, while bleating about how tough they had it in the old days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantnrave Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Where to begin...? Following the announcement of another national lockdown, Paul Shamplina, founder of Landlord Action, says there is no end in sight for desperate landlords and there must now be government support: https://propertyindustryeye.com/introduce-a-tenant-hardship-loan-fund-to-prevent-further-possession-action/ Majority of landlords pessimistic (despite the spin in the article heading): https://propertyindustryeye.com/almost-half-of-btl-landlords-remain-optimistic-despite-potential-tax-hikes/ Special mention also to EAs bleating for Stamp Duty break extension: https://propertyindustryeye.com/lockdown-leads-to-fresh-calls-for-stamp-duty-extension/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley George Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Special mention also to EAs bleating for Stamp Duty break extension: They can do one. Alongside the Halifax and Nationwide, they've spent the last 6 months crowing about the beacon of hope that has been the insane rise in house prices and the resilience of the housing market across the pandemic. Which is it boys and girls, make your mind up time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump Invective Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 JUst a general note, but the amount of fear - much of it warranted, some of it just chancers - that bubbles up every time the thought of turning the taps off is mentioned, and lockdowns are reinstated, lets you know how precarious the economic position is. We really are in a false reality, with magic money the only game in town. If there really was no issue, then we wouldn't have such panic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantnrave Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Urgent action needed to tackle rent debt crisis https://propertyindustryeye.com/urgent-action-needed-to-tackle-rent-debt-crisis/ A number of leading organisations have united to issue a joint statement following the reintroduction of a national lockdown urging the government to get a grip on the mounting rent debt crisis. Around half a million private tenants in the UK are behind with their rent, according to research by Citizens Advice. The average amount owed is more than £700, the charity says, and about a quarter of private renters in arrears have been threatened with eviction or cancellation of the their tenancy agreement by their landlord, the charity claims. The joint statement , backed by organisations including the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA), ARLA Propertymark, the Nationwide Building Society, Shelter, and StepChange Debt Charity, calls for a package of measures to help renters pay off arrears built since March last year when the initial lockdown started. The joint statement said: “Many thousands of private renters and landlords across the country now face rent arrears due to the impact of the pandemic. “Ministers have failed to address the core problem of debts which have built despite the financial package put in place so far. Indeed, the chancellor confirmed that housing benefit will not be linked to the cost of renting for future years. “Renters, landlords and letting agents cannot be expected simply to muddle through indefinitely where they face these financial difficulties. The government needs to develop an urgent package to help renters in paying off arrears built since March last year. “Without further action, debts will continue to mount, making it far more difficult to sustain tenancies and keep renters in their homes after the pandemic.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
