"Unbelievable. £1400p/m!!!! I know the phrase "renting is dead money" is a favourite around here for being shot down in flames (mostly for good reason), but come on, that's a massive amount of money!"

"There is a serious point here though about buying, despite the high prices we are facing, you could be making a real dent in a mortgage with 1400 a month, and if you were 5 years down the road at 1400 a month on a mortgage, would you care if you'd overpaid when you take into account the fact you won't be having to deal with cretins like this landlord?"

"£1400 are you MAD!?"

1400 a month. £16,800 a year. At 20% tax and 11% NI £24k of your pre-tax earnings is going to cover that. They must be earning some wedge between them to pay that and cover everything else like commuting, council tax, food etc. And all to live in a 2-bed ex-council house.

They need to MAFLATSE

Move Away From London And The South East

Probably more like 40% tax, us London dwellers don't pay 20% tax rates :cool:

Oh dear. If you are going to accuse people of being "too dim" you should at least try and get the speling corekt.

Well I run a tight ship, everything above board.

So does the landlord i am referring to.

Hes just too scared to start any proceedings against one of his tenants to evict them.

Sounds like he was more than likely previously a man-baby who stayed at him till his 30's but was fortunate enough to fall into BTL through inheritance.

Interesting.

What rate are you paying for earnings between circa £7.5k and £40k?
