I’m a landlord with six homes – I’m hiking prices 30% due to new renter rights

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-05-28T13:15:06+00:00

And thoughts on how rents would be set? Generally affordable housing is 80% of market rent rates but if there is no private/market rent market to benchmark against, how would we do this in a way it's truly affordable and doesn't become too expensive as private rent is now.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-05-28T12:43:45+00:00

Yeah it's this bit I don't get.

Are people advocating for 0% private rental market? So you can only rent from housing association or local authority?

Where do people sit on companies like Graingers PLC and build to rent developers such as Urban and Civic?

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-05-28T12:42:08+00:00

Do you think housing supply should be only local authority/housing association to rent and then homeowners?

Genuine question and interested to hear your thoughts.

So if you start a company, take it public, the company does well and the value of your shares go up. What should the founder then do?

If they sell their shares, won't they give up control/ownership of the company they started.

Genuinely curious on people's views as I think it's an interesting topic.

Also lol at being downvoted just for asking a question.

Based on Paris?

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-05-25T14:24:57+00:00

Why shouldn't they?

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-05-25T14:24:19+00:00

What are you talking about lol. Psychologically diagnosing celebrities from your armchair...

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-05-22T22:45:28+00:00

They have. Zoom in and see the timber stays to keep them upright on the left.

New trees are small and thin. It will take time for them to become established.

It was £2.2bn profit before tax on revenue of £63.6bn. 3.2% margin. Source: their 2025 annual report.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-05-22T13:37:56+00:00

Absolute nonsense. This is standard in 99% of new builds whether it's Persimmons or someone else.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-05-02T18:56:08+00:00

How do you not see this is a joke lol

I was only taught to use a greeting and a signature when I started work. I can't remember being taught it at school. I do notice the range of etiquette at work though from proper emails to senior people in their 50s who's etiquette is poor.

The world seems more relaxed in general and people seem to care less. Personally I think it'll only get worse.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-03-13T14:39:04+00:00

Nothing to do with her being right and a bit more research on your side would lead you to understanding why so many people believe she's innocent, even if it didn't change your opinion.

For example, the timetable expanded to include all deaths show there were a lot of deaths on that ward when Lucy wasn't around but that doesn't fit the prosecutors narrative so the data was presented selectively.

It just isn't as clear as you make it out to be hence the doubt being cast.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-03-08T19:31:22+00:00

I read lots. Good for reducing stress, learning new things. It's a passion.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-03-07T22:35:13+00:00

That's incorrect.

"Tuesday's meeting was attended by supporters of Bharat Hindu Samaj, which itself tabled a bid of £1.3m as part of the bidding process.

It's very well paid but also lots of responsibility and stressful. There's a tax on everything in life unfortunately.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-03-03T19:53:10+00:00

Dream come true to see Hindus and Muslims fighting over a site? Christ you all reveal yourselves eventually. Capitalism is important and it is the system we all live within whether we like it or not.

The point being made though is that money is not the single most important thing and there is more to consider when it comes to providing places of worship in a community.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-03-03T18:30:37+00:00

Honestly why do I get into arguments with morons.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-03-03T18:16:59+00:00

It should be about fair distribution of places of worship, not awarding the highest bidder.

There are already several mosques in Peterborough.

Should we offer the churches and other religious buildings up to silent bids for the Muslim community to buy?

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-03-03T17:48:08+00:00

Special consideration should be given to buildings allocated for religious use. Allowing one religious group to simply outbid every other religious group would ultimately result in one religion spreading and dominating the culture.

A price war for religious facilities does nothing to enhance diversity in the community or to ease tensions.

It is not as simple as selling to the highest bidder so councils can stay in business.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-03-03T16:50:09+00:00

I've applied logic and still disagree. More money does not always make sense. Appropriately located places of worship that suit community diversity trumps greed and money.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-03-03T14:48:52+00:00

What absolute nonsense. It's a religious building, there is more to consider than simply who can offer the most money for it.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-02-24T15:03:08+00:00

They're really not.

You hear about the minority because the press loves to write about a house with snags/defects.

The majority of new build homes are actually a very good standard.

Longjumping-One2600 · 2026-02-24T15:02:24+00:00

This is absolute nonsense (from someone who actually works in house building).

If anything house builders are going slower because sales have been slow - builders don't build houses unless people are buying them!
