  1. Since EDS who ran offices from there went bust does anyone know any plans for what's happening with the building ? I'm guessing flats ??

    Mods please correct title spelling to loxley manor


  2. Although my tenant is on the councils priority list to re house they have said that still behind asylum seekers in the system.

    Not fair?

     

    If you had done your research as a landlord you'd know all this already. It amazes me how many landlords think renting is 100% profit.

     

    The council are not at fault here. Do you have any idea the pressures they are under to help everyone that presents as homeless? There is not enough housing. They have to do whatever they can to prevent homelessness. Does your "friend" have children? Keeping them with a roof over their heads if the number one priority here, not your feelings about following a legal process and applying to court.

     

     

    I made zero profit here. It was a favour for a friend that's going to leave me seriously out of pocket and something I wish I'd never entertained


  3. If that family has presented as homeless, that is the advice ANY council would offer your tenant. Particularly if they don't have a deposit or savings to move on. Due to the lack of social housing, many families are being encouraged to take private rented properties, even though it is often not affordable. If they have no where to go once the notice expires, what do you expect them to do? The council can't magically make a property available overnight. There will be others ahead of them on waiting lists.

     

    Obtaining a possession order is normal practice. landlord's just hope that tenants don't realise this and leave once a notice expires. But legally they don't have to. If you don't like it... don't private let to people.

     

    And FYI... benefits have nothing to do with it. Same laws apply to full time working tenants. Just so you know.

     

    Ok I thought it might be a benefit thing but I'm happy to be told otherwise. I've not seen any corespondence yet as I'm out of the county but it's common practice (my wife used to work for a lettings company)


  4. I'm a private landlord (I rent out one house I used to live in, the rent covers its mortgage)

    I've decided to sell it but the council have told my tennant (a friend) that despite serving a correct section 21 and all the correct relevant paperwork not to worry as they have months and months left in my house as when the section 21 is up they advise them to sit tight and make me take my tennant to court to evict them. This they have said will cost me around £1k

    I've heard this from other private landlords too.

     

    Sheffield councils attitude to private landlords is disgusting. I wouldn't mind but it was only a short term let whilst I sorted other things out in my life.

    If your thinking of letting a house out to anyone on benefits then my advise is stay well clear. Your council will stitch you up like a kipper.


  5. Couldn't agree more. The vitriol poured onto disadvantaged people in this country is absolutely shocking. Says a lot more about the people making the comments than the report does about Buchanan.

     

     

    Absolute claptrap. The "disadvantged" people can get off their lazy arses and make something of their lives just like anybody else can, "disadvantged" is just another excuse for laziness. The sooner people realise that no one gives you anything for nothing (other than the British government) the better place the whole country would be in.

    Sitting on your ass feeling sorry for yourself is pointless.


  6. The market should expand food and drink and shift all the other tat into a separate building. It could become a real attraction then.

     

    Agreed, there is a place on Brick Lane in London, kinda of a big hall that sells hot food from pretty much everywhere in the world, its awesome but its London with a much higher footfall.


  7. surely if your house is burgled and your car is taken due to this, the insurance pays out ? Saying that though insurence will try to get out of it if possible and for me are legalised crooks !

     

    This happened to me and my insurance never questioned it and paid up. They actually wrote the car off after two days of being stolen even though it was never found


  8. I agree with this - my mrs uncle once said "put them under your pillow".

     

    **** to that. I'd much prefer waking up to see my car had gone than being woke up in middle of night by someone wanting them!

     

    I think most thieves want an easy non confrontational job. There a thief, they dont know anything about the person there waking up and could possibly take a real beating. I think if they dont find the keys easily they would move on. Having said that i leave mine where they can find them :hihi:
