Landlords: This changes EVERYTHING!

[@Susanhartman.]

As am American living here in the UK, I have always been dumbfounded on the mortgage market here. 2yr -5yr (rarely ever fixed) and renegotiate multiple times over the course of the loan. Too much of the UK's wealth is tied up in real estate. In the US, many have a 401k or reasonable pension to rely on for retirement. So, many have been brainwashed into thinking the only way to wealth in the UK is through property. Then, sell up and downsize for your retirement pot. Any sizeable correction in UK housing will basically cripple a generation's retirement and lead to bigger issues.

[@JulietKellyy]

I advise you to invest in stocks to balance out your real estate, Even the worst recessions offer wonderful buying opportunities in the markets if you're cautious. Volatility can also result in excellent short-term buy and sell opportunities. This is not financial advice, but buy now because cash is definitely not king right now!

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold.

[@tonysilke]

In my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.

In Ireland the landlords have fled the market and now the tenants are totally screwed. Go figure!

[@jgdooley2003]

In Ireland there are rent pressure zones where it is illegal to increase rents beyond a certain low limit. In times of high inflation the limit is capped at 2% per annum. Exactly the opposite to what should be happening. Older rentals are trapped in low rents while new rentals can attract 40 to 50% more even in the same estate. Luckily the Irish selling market does not depend as much on rental incomes applicalble to a particular property but this is not the case in the UK or with commercial property where rental income has a larger bearing on the price that can be achieved for a property. The large scale REITS are now leaving units vacant in order to clear the 2 year term from which rents can be charged without limit and without reference to past rents, hence avoiding the 2% cap. Scenes where 100's of prospective tenants are queueing outside units to be let are now common as is the number of people in emergency accommodation. This is the result of years of governments not building local authority housing in any great numbers and an increasingly hostile attitude demonising landlords encouraged by government and opposition politicians and some commentators. Another factor is the increasing precariousness of many sectors of employment where small scale landlords once existed. These jobs and these landlords have died out or have cashed in on their investments and are not being replaced by a youngerr cohort of new landlords.

Ireland has long had a history of villifying landlords and demonising those who have provided accommodation for rent in the past. There has been decades of neglect in providing social housing and the vacuum created by this neglect has been filled by private landlords, often at great cost to government and charity agencies when the monies spent could have been used to build publically owned and rented housing units.

In Montreal, if a landlord wants to evict you to have a family member move in, they need to give 6 months notice and a monetary compensation. Rent increases can't be more than 3% a year if the tenant is paying their own heating bill.

Having made the landlord delay this to get her deposit sorted to legal standards, she now faces eviction unless she can find a new property to rent. She’s looked at available properties for the price she can afford and of course there’s not much and as a single mum, the landlords are choosing ‘family units’ over her. Now she has to ‘use’ the system to not move out so emergency accommodation can be actioned for her and as a reliable person she hates that thought. As the market is landlord weighted due to lack of housing - she’s stuck. More council or affordable housing from the government plus the records or ratings for landlords being available will ensure these greedy people who let out sub standard properties will be punished by ppl not wanting or needing to rent from money grabbing landlords without going into it eyes wide open.

So ... HOW do I get my issues sorted? I have lived in this property for over 20 years now. Until my "new" landlord took over, I was living in a ONE-BEDROOMED PROPERTY, that had a dining hall area. . Now, it has become a two-bedroom property, with an area that has an opening at each side, with the boiler, and where the fridge needs to be kept, now, according to the landlord, being called the "lounge". The council did come to inspect the property, when they began paying my rent ... and were happy it is a ONE BEDROOM ... but, the landlord has decided to claim it is 2-bedroomed now, and that I moved in originally with my daughter (who I have never had). He has increased my rent by first £100 to over £725, and is now slapping on a new increase to £780 - to cover the new boiler he had to put in as the old one (30 years plus old) packed up. I am disabled, alone, and have no one to help me do anything to sort all this out. I do not have the funds to move either. My property is like an icebox, and having heating on is a waste of time. The bathroom in winter isa nightmare, sitting between 4 to 10 degrees. In summer the property is about 15-18, so nice not having to need an Ir-con. but, in winter coping with 10 degrees, with the heating turned on full, is no fun. The place has damp issues, and portions of the heavy ceiling coving keeps falling off. I did have it painted, but the constant flooding by the upstairs tenants, has ruined that, wasting a lot of money I truly could not afford.

Landlords need to price in the future cost of rent into the monthly rent by increasing to a point where you can build up a pot to cover, including the cost of administration and the cost of renters reform. If tenants do not want to pay, they are free to go buy their own property and live there. Landlords are also advised to take up thorough legal cover, and ensure they take every tenant to court which will stop them ever getting a loan, mortgage and in all cases even a mobile phone contract.

This will be irrelevant once the new insulation laws come into effect. The capital cost will be too much for many smaller landlords and they are likely to sell their properties. Once sold, they may not be re-rented but used as a main domicile, so less property available to rent anyway. The landlords that do make the additions to insulation will need to pass that cost on to tenants, so rent will increase. This will mean some tenants can no longer afford private rent.

If the cost go up then the rent should go up. Also if someone is not paying for the service provided (a roof over their head) then the service should be removed, this takes 5 minutes not 4 months through costly courts, ANY MORE BAFOONS? All in favour of protecting tenants from unscrupulous landlords and ensuring safe and satisfactory accommodation and decent maintenance etc etc etc but this set of laws will only reduce the number of DECENT landlords from the PRS with obvious consequences of supply and demand issues.

[@michelleross2680]

Landlords are being expected to foot the mortgage increases while being limited to a 3% rent rise a year. I say challenge the validity of the 'mortgage' with the bank. All mortgages are securitised which extinguishes the 'lender' banks right to any REpayments or charge over the property. Try asking for proof of an outstanding loan account receivable on the books of the creditor (which is not the 'lender' bank when securitised), ask who is the holder in due course (it's not the 'lender' bank), what they have done with the non disclosed Power of Attorney within the Mortgage Conditions for and on our behalf, proof of the existence of the original mortgage agreement (they endorsed and sold it - securitised it). Ask for the internal screen listing document showing all transactions not made known to the 'alleged borrower' - mine had over £609000 going through on a £70,000 mortgage.

Trouble by decree and unnecessary overreach by governments. Some landlords deny tenants pets because, for example, they may bark all day until their owners return or cause damage by clawing,scratching, chewing ,create smells of faecal matter or urine , fleas or other problems such as carpeted areas being soiled in apartment complexes or Shared communal areas or other problems caused by other types of animals. Animals moult and fur can be difficult to get out of carpet fibres or stained through female dogs breaking down.This should be a choice of the landlord to decide if he wants pets in his property or the tenant should look for a landlord who doesn’t mind pets. Badly house trained animals may cause smells that effect neighbours, leading to discontent and arguments with neighbours or unsuitable confined living conditions, causing pets to suffer . It is outrageous that the government should dictate this against landlords . Governments often bring in ridiculous rules without thinking them through, like a one size fits all ruling, not thinking where there could be problems or consequences by their rulings and this is a perfect example of their idiocy against landlords. A tenancy agreement should be what landlords and tenants mutually agree on without any government overreach whatsoever. If this is brought in, why shouldn’t landlords be able charge a £2000 deposit against any damages that they may have to rectify damage to furnishings, decor, carpets etc..
