En-Suite Council Tax…
Who’s Liable?
There’s been talk of en-suites being banded separately for council tax for some time, and the general consensus is that IF it ever happens, rents will have to rise to accommodate it. Most say that some of the extra cost will be covered by the tenants and [Read more…] about Money Down the Pan?

…at least for your first few deals
Tenacity: We were once turned down by smug two agents who were unnecessarily rude to us, and so we swore we would never set foot in that shop … ever again! About eight months later, the wind blew us back in again, and we got a deal! The two rude boys had left, the new team were open for business, and they were so keen to give us a deal they even brushed over the referencing. We later put this down to us dressing like them and [Read more…] about Dancing the Referencing Dance!

No landlord wants that emergency call from a disgruntled tenant on Christmas eve to say that the heating is broke and the house is freezing! So it ‘s a really good idea to pre-empt any potential problems.

Eddie Cantor was a Broadway star of the 1930’s and is the first person accredited with saying “It takes 20 years to become an overnight success!” I can’t help but think of Eddie every time I hear the phrase ‘New Craze’ or ‘Get Rich Quick’ applied to Rent 2 Rent (R2R), as it too has been around for at least 20 years. What has recently happened is that instead of hanging around at the back of the theatre it has been shoved up onto centre stage for all to see, and scrutinise.
