Got to thank the post for that line :rotfl:

It is a good line, isn't it?

Lots of fun to be had with puns on the word bulls.

Many indeed are fair target. Can't help but feel you didn't help yourself here by not getting a fixed term tenancy. If you were refused one that should have pre-warned you IMO.

I thought you may somehow be "much better off" now. Lucky guess eh?

Interesting. I guess plenty of the over-leveraged will be caught out. I'm pleased to let you know I'm on a fixed rate, losing out at the moment, in the knowledge I may win longer term I guess.

That showed 'em eh?

On the upside at least our discourse has one positive result.
You know I'm not your landlord, (I still have the same tenant), and I know you're not my tenant, (she's not busy frothing at a rotten landlord):j
A win-win eh?

Funny that. I thought you may just say that in response. Lucky guess eh!?

Sorry but I don't actually feel any sympathy for LL's that might stuggle with interest payments, they can't be very good at business can they if they can't cope with what is a low interest period (by low interest I mean mortgage rates below 8%). I don't belong to some sort of LL's club where we all stick together. Although I do have similar views to some on here (some of the time)

all the bull really need to do to get the full picture is browse other forums in MSE. for instance 'in housing, renting and selling', there's a thread where the OP said their house has been on the market for 3 months without a SINGLE viewer for the property. this despite knocking 10k off the asking price. most landlord's who didn't BTL are avoiding tax on their income are refusing to take HB claimants.

funny thing is, soon they'll be the majority of renters.

it beggars belief bulls actually exist in this new age of austerity.

Absolutely.
It's bad enough that my tenant wants to use my house for her own purposes to enable me to buy champagne. Imagine on top of this I had a tenant who didn't earn their own money.

The shame of it.

2/3 of jobs in the uk economy are directly or indirectly attributable to the government. if you were accepting money from working tenants, it's a strong possibly the money received was from government funds. why then would you make a distinction between benefits claimants and workers, when the money (in most cases) can be traced to the same source?

lol, who let this nutter out of the pensions board? He's the internet equivalent of those care in the community types who shout at cars about God's grand plan and their important role within it. The reality is that they're always sad and lonely people at the fringes of society. Shame really, but I don't have too much pity, they should go to some self-help group or something instead of spouting this trash on the internet.
