New Landlord Licences
Discussion
Has anyone on here registered yet and gone on the training course to get a licence. Whats it like.
Seems a waste of time to create even more paperwork and laws, we already have the deposit protection scheme and local authority housing and environmental health officers.

Bureaucracy & non-jobs for parasites. All it will due is drive rents up to cover aggravation.
The governments seem to hate landlords, Cameron & Miliband always used to have a pop at them. They provide a much needed answer to housing for a lot of people.As always its the small number of bad ones who give the rest a bad name. The bad ones probably wont even bother registering anyway.

At which point, they've committed a criminal offence.Not just for HMOs, but all residential letting properties, this being part of the Housing Act 2004, intended to cover anti-social behaviour issues, however appears to me to be more data and revenue collecting.
I have just registered several three bed properties and flats in Bristol, was £450 per property, now after 1st July £1000 per property.
Owner, landlord, manager, agents etc. need to be registered, with checks carried out on the same by local council’s environmental health office, full description of property, tenants, layout of property, production of EPC, Gas Safety Certificate, Electrical Inspection Report etc. On the anti-social behaviour issue, landlord and/or agent is expected to leave their contact details with neighbouring property owners to the rental property.

I don't think they care
Oh, they will soon enough - because it's a nice easy one to track down. A paperwork offence. Is this property's CT payer the same person as the LR owner? No? Almost certainly rented, then. Is the owner on the registered landlord list? No? Flag for investigation.Add in that it brings fees into the local authority, at a time when budgets are being slashed left, right and centre. Stir lightly with a bit of dissuading BtL and returning properties to the owner/occupier market.

then there is the complete inability of many landlords and letting agents to comprehend the actual meaning of quiet enjoyment ...

or do they ? or have the amateur property tycoons driven the prices of housing to unsustainable levels trapping young professionals and 'hard working families' into a cycle of constant renting ( paying someone else's mortgage ) ...
then again, there's a lot of young folk who saw the damage Governments have done to pension funds ,and the need to work for a lot more years to retire without depending on state help, where every £1 rise in pension is matched by a reduction in benefits of £1.5 -£2 .So they decided to go into property , looking on it a a long term investment to provide a pension fund, and what did a Tory, supposedly existing to help the business do- treat them as property tycoons forcing up the price of housing, and instead of hitting the big property firms, just hit them all
But then , something else is missing- remember the ODPM drive to take social housing out of LA hands and sell it at a pittance to Housing Authorities, who were then allowed to do improvements ,paid for out of various initiatives and as a result raise rents. However to do this, the tenants in Social housing had to vote to allow the LA to give away the family silver. And once the housing authorities got their hands on the stock-in moved the bulldozers to demolish perfectly good stock and erect boxes in their place, with a high percentage of the new properties not rented, but bought.

a lot of the council houses bulldozed - needed to be bulldozed built between the wars or immediately post WW2 , hugely energy ineffiecient, not accessible, not meeting the needs of the community they were locatedin
it;s amazing how many council tenants also manage to own a static or canal boat ... all thanks to their 'social' rents when they don;t have a housing need.
as for 'high percentage' of new builds being sold when built by HAs - if you call key worker schemes and/or shared ownership 'sold' ...
