Hi all, Just seen this from NRLA… Rollout of the new national landlord database will start in December – with landlords to pay £65 per property per year to register. It is mandatory for all private sector landlords in England to sign up to the register, which is being introduced under phase two of the Renters' Rights Act. A full timetable of regional rollouts has now been confirmed, starting in the West Midlands. Click below for more on your registration deadline, and what it means in practice. https://www.nrla.org.uk/news/landlord-database-rollout-to-start-december?utm_campaign=PRS+database+announcement+09%2F09&utm_content=Breaking+news+%7C+Landlord+database%3A+Rollout+to+start+in+December&utm_medium=email&utm_source=GetResponse&utm_term=&gr_m=hRn&gr_co=jEi&gr_s=EUf&gr_x=a62e We will be hosting a free and exclusive member webinar outlining how you can register for the new database on 1st October.

Evening all, we’re at the early stages of considering buying a grade 2 listed property to live in. So my question is would this be a ridiculous thing to do?! We’re not heritage enthusiasts and know nothing about listed buildings. How would we ascertain the remit of the grade 2 listing status? Does anyone have any experience with them, good and/or bad, any any nuggets of information that we should be considering please? Thank you in advance.

Thought this was interesting. Today Burnham pledges if he became Prime Minister he would close the migrant hotels in favour of dispersing them across HMO type accommodation. Farage on the other hand wants to crackdown on them altogether. …which clearly offers a huge conundrum if you wanted to operate that as a strategy which does have the benefit of being safe, secure and hands-off. On the one hand it could be a massive opportunity on the other it could be a massive risk!

I thought I was following the Renters Rights stuff pretty well but I had no idea that it would mean the end of the How to Rent Guide! Am I the only one who slept through that bit?! How to rent Page summary: This guide is for people who are looking for a house or flat to rent. Change made: Page has been withdrawn due to changes from the Renters’ Rights Act.

This morning I felt my heart in my mouth and panic all over when I saw this email. Checking the ‘HMRC’ email address details exposed it to be from an outlook account and so clearly a scam email. Thought I’d share to raise awareness; stay safe folks!
