1. Newspapers savage investment 'guru' after he tells followers to use Covid loans to buy property
I've seen this 'news' item popping up everywhere recently (even in The Times) so, whilst I'm not one for controversy, I felt I had to share my opinion with you.
There are parts of Paul's video that make sense and other parts that are totally unethical and atrocious in their suggestion.
2. Court ruling will be 'a huge relief to private and social landlords'
I've worked in the property industry for over 15 years now, but it still amazes me how regulations are made and then changed when common sense prevails! The fact that it was even possible a tenant could remain in a property indefinitely, if the landlord failed to provide a gas safety certificate on move in, is crazy!
3. 15% of tenants are in rent arrears but a third are trying to clear their debt
Positive news for Landlords but not surprising really. Most tenants throughout my experience have been good. Even those that have fallen on hard times usually make the effort to pay their debts and it's looking no different following lockdown.
4. Why are more DIY landlords looking to use agents on full management?
The system is certainly more protective of tenants now than it's ever been (rightly or wrongly) which means the experience of quality lettings and management agent is more important than ever. But be warned, choose the wrong agent and you could suffer!
