Excellent video, 20 years ago I had to evict as council said to tnt , stay put. Cost me a lot to get them out. Fast forward to today, I have had so really nice people on benefit apps to my flat. However, beacause I got burned years ago , I would never have DSS again for these reasons.

Thanks for the information, You seem very knowledgeable and well put together,. i like the idea of having a cross party housing minister for 10 years. some stability and non political planning is just what we need!

Asset management firms are moving into private rental. Blackrock is now buying up stock in the UK apparently - they can manage the regulation changes.

I rented to a tenant who was having the rent paid into his own bank account, he stopped paying the rent so I contacted the council, asked for the rent to be paid direct to me and was told the tenant has to ask for that, even though I explained the tenant didn't pass me the rent the previous month and was then unlikely to with the next months rent. Another tenant who stopped paying the rent told me the council told him to stay put and make me take him to court while still putting rent money into his bank account. I contacted the council and they lied to me saying they wouldn't tell someone to stay until court action. I see the current way of not being seen as discriminating against people on housing benefit is to state a minimum income.

They don’t want people making money, if they do they will squeeze them till the pips squeak 😮

man like ken

Excellent post. You’ve just summarised everything I’ve said to prospective applicants for years. Apologies, just found this video from sone time ago. Great job.

I added some 12mm fibre insulation to my rented out house-called Ultratherm. It was done by a licensed builder and cost me about £2,500 to do the whole front wall of the house. I was happy, the tenant is happy. However, the EPC regs demand 50mm insulation, preferably 60mm to get the brownie points. Note the plaster board/skim will add another 12mm. Doing front & back of a room could take 6 inches off the room size, crazy!! Basically, I have wasted £2,500 trying to do right for my tenants, didn't realise how pedantic this EPC thing is.

Hi what do you do if the tenant is refusing to accept the deposit back ie. Refusing to provide bank details and refusing to give a receipt for or cash a check?

Brilliant info, as always. I thought the base rate was directly linked to mortgage rates and the difference was the banks profits. We live and learn. Thanks Ken!

Great video. Thanks to the both of you

Hi Ken, if you had anytime, I’d love to hear about how HMOs fit in Norbury. Is there a market and demand for this type of property? Loving the videos, thank you 🙏

I have 2 buy to let property's both are E i will simply sell up if this grade C comes in I don't want the hassle or the expense. Thanks UK Government ruin everything!

Enjoy your holiday Ken!

Great advice as always. Thanks Ken👍🏽

wonders if the local authority housing will do it ?

Brilliant channel, very helpful. Are there any transport or retail developments happening in Norbury or vicinity, that might help bring up the property prices ?

Exactly well presented video. The system makes it difficult to accept benefit tenants

What about 1st time buyer, investment buy to let property?

Goverment solutions are commonly worse.

Hi Ken so My friend is in a position where he is in the process of a home buy which commenced from mid January 2021 so if they extend it by 6 weeks will He still qualify from the extension as didn’t quite get what you meant by existing buyers cheers.

Totally sucked into politics right now.

Absolutely agree with this chap - if you looked hard anuff you’d find issues on a new house 🏡-

Thank you for bringing stability in the instability :)

Excellent!!!

I love your videos you explained really well thanks 😊

House Prices to fall 20-30% in the next 2-3 years. Flats maybe a fair bit more, especially the London Shoebox Half a million pound One bed jobbies. Definitely was a mini boom in July and August after the lockdown, with all that unleashing of demand and the Stamp Duty thing (a dumb move that)... But the recession is just starting, and it's going to be a terrible few years for the economy and house prices. Just hope people can get through...

Where is the video of Croydon housing causing people to go into arears by not paying housing benefit residents are entitled to ? THOUSANDS of people are getting letters from their housing association for rent not paid by Croydon council.

Big bad Ken at ten

Brilliant info

Thanks Ken.

Great video !!!
