I see that this thread has now reached 666. When the takeover thread reached the same milestone, people speculated that the beast might be moving on. It didn't happen and that annoyed me.
Ah well, maybe this time.2 -
Surely people don't suddenly decide to go and rent a house because someone has bought it to let it out though? "Oh I was quite happy at home, but then Mr Rackman bought the old Wilkins house, so I decided to rent that...".McBobbin said:
Indeed. Two different things, but both make it harder for people to get on the ladder (higher rent and house prices for starters)MrOneLung said:The lack of social housing has nothing to do with Buy to let landlords.
Normally I would assume (dangerous as it is) that they are already looking for a house. If there is no social housing, and no privately rented housing - they simply have nowhere to go? Extra social housing will make buy-to-let less attractive, so that has to come first, doesn't it? Or am I over simplifying?
Me and the wife, and my B-in-L have two places between us, one we bought when the retired couple living there (parents of B-in-L's friend) found out their landlord was selling up. They had hoped that they would be in the place for the rest of their days, by buying it, we made that possible. The other was friends who found themselves in the same position (landlord selling up), but had two dogs and two cats - absolutely nowhere would rent to them with the animals in tow. So between us and them, we found them a place they were happy with and bought it for them.
Yes of course we make money from them, basically they are our pension, but we charge £50 a month below the going rate, and unless something terrible happens, the tenants are there for as long as they want to be. But we have helped people out too.

LinkedIn - again. Fucking hell. The new thing for all the narcissists on it is to either film themselves or film their children and share it on their feed. I get some people’s business is them, selling themselves but it seems every any old chancer at the moment is taking a camera and filming themselves.
One today was a bloke putting a video up of his daughter flipping her coat over her head and putting it on that way, because she couldn’t get her arms through the sleeves the traditional way. It’s all very nice but the guy then tried to link it to business in some vague way about looking at problems from different angles etc
He could’ve just posted that statement. No need for the home video2 -
Sting mainly, but also his weird bromance thing he's got with Shaggy and shit music they're turning out0

Some people's "am I being a massive cringe worthy c***?" radars really need urgent calibration on social media.
Thought Facebook was bad but that's mainly the domain of thickos so you can't really blame them, but LinkedIn goes beyond that with recruitment consultants and office bods carrying on like they're Elon Musk because they've posted their "insight" on something which is usually about as unnecessary and superfluous as a condom in a palace fan's wallet

Not remembering when we last played on Sky and even worse the fact we haven't had a single game all season on Sky and probably won't.0

Social Media was invented to keep those of us not on it amused.
One of the best threads on CL is the Twitter one, some of the sad fucks on there that are being serious and I am pissing myself with laughter reading it.

Your business is your business as far as I'm concerned and I'm not really too bothered what people do with their money generally but I don't like the idea of buy to let properties. It has had effect on the housing market at the bottom end especially. The cheaper houses were, as a rule of thumb, where we all started off. If they are bought up by the better off, where do the young, who have harder time getting finance, buy their first homes? One of my extended family owns a considerable amount of these type properties, getting finance for her is a doddle. She isn't helping no one and runs these places like as a business, like most private landlords who take a living from it. You wouldn't want to be one of her tenants paying huge monthly rents with no real future hopes of having a home you could put your stamp on. I doubt few of them would be able to save money for a deposit and pay rent.Algarveaddick said:

And council houses being sold off at great discounts does annoy me. Many of them are now buy to lets but even if they are not why should these properties be sold off in the first place? Surly they are an asset of the country.3 -
Sorry but I cannot agree with that, my daughter and eldest grandson are on FB and it nothing like a message forum where threads are started.Greenie said:

Sad bastards the lot of them.
The level of chat is much more personal between family members and close friends, invites to parties, BBQ's and all sorts are posted on there, replies are posted and followed up by photos from the events.
People know who each other are on FB, much more than they do on here.0 -

Envy? Of what? I own my home.golfaddick said:
This is absurd. They aren't pushing up the prices anymore than a owner-occupier buying the same property is. Most EA don't know if the property is being let or being used as the main residence by the purchaser, so they aren't selling the property for a different amount. Pure envy by the OP I'm afraid. Virtually all my clients that have BTL properties are renting out properties that they have inherited or previously lived in themselves. I have a couple of "portfolio landlords" (which by definition of the FCA is anyone owning 4 of more BTL's) and they all have full time jobs in the NHS - so they must be proper baggy then.Greenie said:
I think he means it just pushes prices up for genuine buyers who need a home rather than an investment.eaststandmike said:
Really??? If you have the surplus cash it is a good investment, much better return than leaving your money in the bank.PopIcon said:People who buy to let, those people are proper baggy.
Personally I am dead against buy to let.
A lot of BTL landlords are actually doing a great service for those who can't afford to buy & have to rent. They buy old properties, do them up & give a home to someone. Yes, there are lots of baggy landlords, but then their are lots of baggy tenants - just watch the TV series on C5 of a very similar name.
I would never buy to let, I don't like it.
Sadly those who buy to let have forced young people off the ladder in London.
How is it right that landlords can charge more for rent than what the actual mortgage is?
Micro-capitalists here there and everywhere.
