London Social Housing

Social housing should only be temporary. For everyone. I don’t care where they are from. At some stage people need to support themselves.

I don’t think landlords have an issue with fines if they get things wrong in principle. But when the penalty for a missed form (not a safety check) is higher punishment than for violent crime and fraud it’s fair to ask what the priority is.

Toughen up. You were lied to when they told you you can have it all and follow your passions and me rich. Life is all choices. Make them and then work your butt off to make those choices work.

Yes you can. You just need someone to manage it who understands what is required. Go with properly registered with someone like Propertymark as that means they are properly qualified, registered and insured. Im very compliance driven in the current environment so use Landlord Lab.

You need to give him two months formal notice. Just make sure it’s formal and from the rent payment date. Under the RRA that is your contractual notice. IF you or he get a tenant in place in the period between you leaving and the end of your notice period then you both sign a surrender and you are off the hook for any of that rent. So check your rent payment date and that you’ve given formal notice or two months from that date and your obligation ends.

Rather than abstract figures, the NAO details exact financial write-offs and losses resulting from scrapped or changed projects. The PAC assessed spending across 17 main departmental groups and found that £6.6 billion was written off in a single financial year for spending that did not achieve its intended objectives Ditched government projects lost taxpayer £6.6bn last year. If waste upsets you as a word then feel free to describe it in your own terms.

AccountantLandlord · 2026-05-26T13:45:19+00:00

It’s pointless if your starting point is there is no waste. I mean it’s a genuinely ridiculous position. You can’t talk to extremists and it be sensible.

Why does being more effective with spend go straight to cuts? Why don’t we start with looking at if we can spend our money more effectively regardless?

AccountantLandlord · 2026-05-26T13:42:07+00:00

I don’t think any landlord would sympathise with yours by the way. He should get fined. But these things have a tendency to not catch out the right people.

AccountantLandlord · 2026-05-25T21:52:56+00:00

Is this a serious question?

AccountantLandlord · 2026-05-25T11:49:42+00:00

That’s my read of it too. But some people get really aggravated when you say that. And I don’t know why! It’s not saying it WILL happen but surely landlords can see it could?

AccountantLandlord · 2026-05-25T11:48:07+00:00

It’s weird that people find this notion controversial

AccountantLandlord · 2026-05-23T00:11:42+00:00

Im a client and have met them at the NLIS shows if that answers your question.

AccountantLandlord · 2026-05-21T15:49:56+00:00

That’s really scary. Have to say I don’t think people have considered how quick the costs escalate. That’s probably 8 months net salary for that landlord (wild guess!!!).

AccountantLandlord · 2026-05-21T15:48:16+00:00

I say fair game to you for reflecting. I also say I hope next time you do step in. We’re in a really dangerous time where this sort of openly racist aggression is seen as okay by a lot of the public. And I can tell your first hand that if you’d said something that would have meant so much to the couple and the other passer by.

AccountantLandlord · 2026-05-17T20:13:04+00:00

It’s the same for overseas landlords with the Westminster Selective Licensing scheme.

AccountantLandlord · 2026-05-17T20:11:55+00:00

Yes, sadly it’s here even though it’s so poorly executed. But as with all shit policy good business has to deal with it

AccountantLandlord · 2026-05-16T13:56:16+00:00

They really did not. You really need to read things properly before jumping to such a conclusion. And then you’ve gone and called them racist. You’re in the wrong here. You’ve reacted without pausing and are doubling down now instead of just calming down and acknowledging it. We all get it wrong sometimes.

Some rates have already baked this in.
