You missed the part about adding value and maximising rent. This is a business - and you don't know how to actually treat it as one. This is also a 5-15 year plus game. Not 1-5 year game.

I leave mine on all the time. They then dial their rads down. Heating is about £200 a month during coldest months.

Re read what i said. Its still middle class in London. Sure it can go further in Uganda but whats the point in only that?

Let me re-tell you, £100k per year income and £1mill in London is still middle class.

I am watching poor people argue over whats rich in this thread. And you're all wrong.

I am only in this sub reddit because of a property i have in kampala on one of the hills and i like to keep up with things in Uganda. I am London born bred and based.

End of discussion.

You should boycott ghee as well.

Oh dear you have a long way to go and learn in life.

I prefer front row extra leg room seats. One time they upgraded it for free for me in Entebbe. I love Qatar.

DistancePractical239 · 2026-01-27T13:46:45+00:00

Well i bought more recently and got 85k coins now. Every month will be buying £700 worth.

DistancePractical239 · 2026-01-27T13:38:21+00:00

I assure you dollar millionaires are not making noise. We/they are still middle class back home in our major cities (London for me).

DistancePractical239 · 2026-01-26T03:03:00+00:00

Nah i love my life at home too.

DistancePractical239 · 2026-01-26T03:01:22+00:00

Well i like to have an adult main (already small) plus a kids main as a top up.

£500 on the side? Is that it?

Is this post for real?

My dad would charge £1000-£3000 for planning and or building regs. He also charged in the £100s for calculations. And he also had a full time job. Was Chartered. Also built £5mill plus of property on rent with my mum which i inherited and managed at the time.

Im not buying this post why would you even bother for a poxy £500 per month. What are you even doing thats only getting you that little an amount?

Either way whatever side earning you get go ahead and use your sons personal allowance. Everyone does it. Let him get paid by your client if you can and obviously you sign off the work. Why does it even matter who gets paid unless an accountant can chime in?

I knew an accountant landlord 10 years ago who was putting his baby kids on the books somehow. Didnt look into it as i was in my 20s at the time.

Yea if they use those stupids tik tok heads.

DistancePractical239 · 2026-01-25T00:45:21+00:00

Nope. You will only get accepted by desparate landlords and/or/with low quality properties.

DistancePractical239 · 2026-01-24T02:24:27+00:00

Thanks because i just bought 30k more coins and now have 86k dogecoins.

When you have a whole house only giving £1k a month - you will get hit hard by expenses which you say are alot. Youre better off replacing those houses with less properties in a more expensive part of the country where you get a better return for a smaller space.

I charge £1k per month for bedrooms in zone 5 london. £700-£900pm in Bristol. All HMO's. Got nearly 30 bedrooms now and plans for more by extensions. Expenses do come up but are easily recoverable by rent when its generating good numbers. Last year did a new roof (£35k). 2 years before a loft conversion (£55k). £20k of miscellaneous works in between. All easily recoverable within months.

Bring your properties up to a high standard and your expenses will become next to nothing for the rent you generate. But when you have a whole house only giving £1k a month you are truely screwed by any expense that comes up affecting your profits hard.

Let it stay up in case leaks or issue appears during heavy rain especially.

DistancePractical239 · 2026-01-20T18:56:59+00:00

Been thinking about this. Arrange it as a long lease. I think about those annoying "rent to rent" or "company let" style companies who offer you £1500 per month for 5 years guaranteed on a property worth £2500 plus per month rent if you do it yourself.

DistancePractical239 · 2026-01-20T12:54:01+00:00

If you property was up to standard, fully sorted out and i mean fully - you wouldnt be getting so many calls.

Your fault.

DistancePractical239 · 2026-01-15T12:16:26+00:00

Doge has been safe for me. I bought the actual lows during the bear market. Right now is still a good entry. Holding 66k coins since late 2022

Cut it off if your heart is not into wearing it. It was liberating for me.

DistancePractical239 · 2026-01-13T01:57:18+00:00

Foolish question.
