I understand that bringing arrears under 2 months wouldn't mean a thing, if they have done it multiple times.

It’s true. Many LLs don’t go and fix things or sort problems out, they always delay and hope the problem will be forgotten about, or that the tenant will pay for it themselves
This is the sort of thing the ombudsman will be good for next year.
many LLs don’t want to deal with pest control because it’s so expensive and they try to get out of it or do a cheap job.
next year they will face £25K fines 👏-1 -

Luckily I don’t live in yellow sub crashy time dreamland.Just best to ignore it all really. Wishing for something to happen and posting about it won’t make it happen.
we are an island, everyone wants to live here as it’s a decent country, and they cant make any more ground no matter what they do.
so long term house prices will only ever go one way.Look at ANY repeat ANY 10 year period be it 1947-57 to 2012-2022 or any combination and house prices have always risen substantially
there will always be dips and bounces along the way, it’s a long term thing.
the HPC idiots that encroach on here really do live in la la land.Best place for them they can keep on paying me their rent.7 -

That's the kind if pricing we need to get back to. Getting rid of landlords will help.1 -

I've never understood why people say landlords drive prices up. There isn't anything stopping anyone else buying the houses that the landlord bought. There isn't a label on them saying 'landlords only'.

look at anything in any ten year period, sugar, timber, metal, cars, housing everything.
Sometimes some things go up more than other things then there is a correction
measure stuff with stuff not fiat currency is the best way to tell if something is over or undervalued.
how many barrels of oil, Brussels of wheat, or tons of copper were worth the same as an average property?
in 1979, 500 oz of silver were valued the same as an average three bed house a city.
Today it’s over 25000 oz of silver valued the same as that same average three bed house.
if you take fiat currency out of it and measure stuff with stuff it’s easy to when something is overvalued and some things are undervalued.
everything is in a valuation channel going form over to undervalued. At the moment property is over valued.
in about five years time they will be undervalued.
According to moving home with Charlie they will not change in price, average house prices in the UK will be the same in five years but inflation will average 10% per year so 50% real term crash. Then they will be undervalued compared to everything else that goes up with inflation
it’s just the currency losing purchasing power
Now, I don't know how many "Brussels of wheat" or "tons of copper" that would equate to, and I don't know a thing about "fiat currency" either.Gather ye rosebuds while ye may3
