    Elsewhere on the internet, another moneysaver suggested that he was dealing with Sunny/Sunil/Sunhils wife ?

    Has anyone got any idea what her name is , and what sort of lady she is?

  • So, you're saying that Richard Elby of IRD Homes is associated with Sunil Dhown and IRD Homes? So we could say, Richard Elby of IRD Homes and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes or would it be Richard Elby (of IRD Homes) and Sunil Dhown (of IRD Homes) of IRD Homes. They are Lettings Agents, you say? And Richard Elby and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes let properties in various parts of the country, you tell me? And examples of parts of the country are Kingston (Richard Elby of IRD Homes and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes), Twickenham (Richard Elby of IRD Homes and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes), Isleworth (Richard Elby of IRD Homes and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes), Edinburgh (Richard Elby of IRD Homes and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes), Cardiff (Richard Elby of IRD Homes and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes), Finsbury Park (Richard Elby of IRD Homes and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes), Glasgow (Richard Elby of IRD Homes and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes) and Ilford (Richard Elby of IRD Homes and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes)?

    How very interesting, I must get on to Richard Elby and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes so I too can live in one of Richard Elby and Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes' no doubt brilliantly managed IRD Homes properties.

    I will give a prize for the first person to come up with an acceptable pun on Richard Elby of IRD Homes' name. I think Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes' name in infinitely more punable.

    Lynz - let's hope that people see from their website that this "aggressive" Letting Agent ( not my phrasing, tis their own) has some fine methods for arriving at the promised " Income enhancement - Bi-annually and annually" for LLs
    "4. Some 70 days prior to the tenancy expiring IRD Homes will contact the tenants to discuss whether they are keen to renew their tenancy agreement. If the tenant is keen to renew then we will negotiate a rent increase on the subject property, which in current market conditions is significant. If the tenant does not agree to the new terms then with the landlord consents we will consider issuing the current tenant the necessary 60 day notice for possession and will seek to find a new tenant/s. IRD Homes will have a full 2 months to find a new suitable tenant. " (My highlighting)
    The outgoing Ts will of course co-operate fully with viewings, having been served with their Notice ;) but not to worry, if you're a LL, because IRD says their focus is on "nil void periods", as well as achieving the promised "income enhancement"

    I do hope IRD don't !!!! up their dates when serving their "necessary 60 day notice"

    Really? Just goes to show you really need to read the small print when you're renting from IRD Homes Lettings Agents in conjuction with Sunhil Dhown or Sunil Dhown or Sunny Dhown.

    Oh TBS! To think that IRD homes wouldn't get thier dates right! Come on now, its fairly clear that this company is professional to the letter and Im sure wouldnt dream of conning tenants out of their rights :rotfl:

    Im sure of course all tenants would comply with viewing requests, after all, I would! I would love to take the opportunity to showcase the wonderful property and to boost IRD Homes/ SUNIL DHOWNs fantastic business model and to promote their wonderful landlords and the fact they have had the ability to live in a new build box flat that were so well maintained and paid for the wonderful privilege :D

    Apologies in advance:

    There's that well-known ditty in favour of shared houses, i *think* it goes like this:
    ".............Livin' alone
    I think of all the friends I've known
    When I dial the telephone
    Nobody's home

    Elby myself
    Don't wanna be
    Elby myself
    Anymore"
    Then there's " Just call my name and Elby there", which is what all Ts with potential repairs issues probably want to hear. ;)

    Apology accepted :rotfl:

    Previous tenants of MR RICHARD ELBY OF IRD HOMES might sing the following:

    #Even though you're gone, we still a team
    Through your family, I'll fulfill your dream (that's right)
    In the future, can't wait to see
    If you open up the gates for me
    Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend (uh-huh)
    Try to black it out, but it plays again
    When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
    Can't imagine all the pain I feel
    Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
    I know you still living your life, after death

    Chorus: Faith Evans
    Every step I take, every move I make
    Every single day, every time I pray
    Elby missing you
    Thinkin of the days, when you went away
    What a life to take, what a bond to break
    Elby be missing you #

    :love:

  • Excellent, it turns out Richard Elby of IRD Homes' name is just as punable as Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes' name.

    I wonder if Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes is thinking about forcing a retraction of the retraction. It has not gone too well for Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes, has it Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes? I wonder how Richard Elby of IRD Homes feels about being associated with someone as brilliantly adept at business as Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes.

    Maybe Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes could contribute to this thread himself, he is no doubt reading from the offices of IRD Homes which he, Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes, is the Managing Director.

    Let us try to coax him out of his muteness:

    Hello Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes, how are you today Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes? The weather is just splendid isn't it Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes? I bet you and your lawyer have been out frolicking this afternoon, Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes. Do you like to frolic Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes? Frolicking is rather fun, Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes. Did you have an ice cream, Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes? Who paid? Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes or Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes' lawyer? I like Chocolate ice cream myself, how about you, Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes? You seem like a Strawberry kinda guy, Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes. Any way Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes, I must dash and so must you. I'm sure you, Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes, have some properties to manage to an extremely high standard, Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes. Have a good day, Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes. Say hello you your lawyer from us, Sunil Dhown of IRD Homes.

    I wonder if it is sunny in the flats in Isleworth?

    I am sure the sun shines always on IRD Homes and Mr Richard Ebly not to mention his colleague Sunhil Dhown, and of course his gracious lovely wife who completes the team, possibly?

    As they say behind every great man is a very strong woman. Wonder if she is in fact the brains behind the IRD model of running a business

    I want to know more about this lady!

    I note with some amusement if you google 'IRD Letting Agents' the last link on the first page is:

    IRD Homes - Avoid these rip off merchants [Archive ...
    14 posts - 5 authors - Last post: 9 May
    Companies like IRD Homes highlight the wider issue of regulation of the private letting sector, especially the regulation of letting agents. ...

    I must admit, I was shocked to see IRD HOMES and RIP OFF MERCHANTS in the same sentance. I always found them to be jolly nice chaps :rotfl:






    HOMES LETTING AGENTS EVIL WORSE THAN HITLER GENOCIDE DARKNESS COMPLAINT RAPE TORTURE MURDER RIP OFF STEAL THEFT SLUM LORD GUILTY AS SIN AVOID LIKE PLAGUE ROB YOU BLIND are just some of the words I found in a recent crossword and are completley nothing to do with IRD HOMES or IRD LETTING AGENTS.
