What will the Election mean for Private Landlords?

6th December 2019Go Direct FranchiseUncategorised
  As the General Election looms, we look at what it could mean for landlords in the Private Rental Sector ... Hopefully, the morning of 13 December will, at least, give us some clue as to what's next. Will it be Brexit done or a hung parliament with more dithering for another year? So, what could the election bring for the private landlord? The main political parties have laid out their blueprints for government ahead of, what is likely to be, one of the most decisive general elections in recent years.  On the face of it, and I make no...

1st November 2019Go Direct FranchiseUncategorised
With all the changes within the property industry, we ask: ... should the abolition of Section 21 be seen as a threat or an opportunity? What a DYNAMIC industry we work in! There is one question. Has the housing market in the UK been so bad for so long that it needs reforming in nearly all avenues all at once? Let's just look at what is in the tubes now. I'm sure, from a Landlord's perspective, it can’t be the pending licensing legislation? NOOO. Not even the abolition of Mortgage Interest Relief, the dreaded Section 24? NOOO. It must surely...

In his report, the main recommendation is that a separate regulating body be established to oversee and guide the industry forward to a more professional and qualified industry. The Regulator...

Universal Credit, the Governments flag ship welfare policy makes a U turn for the better?

28th November 2017Go Direct FranchiseNews, Uncategorised

Many of the issues surrounding UC raised by Landlords and tenants seem to have been heard. Claimants are kept waiting for weeks sometimes 6-8 weeks if the claim is straight forward, more if isn’t and without any money to even buy food for the kids. This waiting time has been addressed in the budget, down to a maximum of 5 weeks with a two-week handover period from one system to the new UC system.
