Or do you keep it rented privately or to the council whoever and that pays for their care and its basically no profit to the owner. These are the decisions people have to make I'm well aware how expensive nursing homes and home help are, I've had elderly relatives too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 One political party went into the last election promising a National Care Service that was free at the point of use, and would have meant nobody needed to decide whether to sell a home or not to fund their or their relatives' care. I wonder what happened to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if you are aware then you should understand why people rent houses out as they have no option. Also when your selling a house you get absolutely ripped apart on capotal gains and all the other legal costs. You really wanna put a frail elderly person through that?

I think they need to look at the eviction process also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger the gamble (for that is what any investment is) the bigger the potential downside.

As stated previously not everyone looks at it as a investment but more as a source of income On your basis then no one should apply for a different job or look in a different field if your not prepared for the downside as you call it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes your point look hypocritical. We all spout our views and they’re all varied. But someone suggesting breaking the law to kick someone out during a pandemic? Nah, that was a bit too rich for me. I get your point completely, but if that didn’t warrant a rude comment, nothing ever will. I’m a nice enough guy, generally, one of my best mates has made a career out of buying and renting property. So I’m not just plain anti-landlord, there are good ones. Giving advice to **** people’s live’s up? That’s about as low as it gets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, though the impact of a global pandemic is perhaps something of an extraordinary thing, and all sorts of people have suffered all sorts of consequences. Dem's issue seems more around the timing of pandemic measures adversely impacting, than "normal" law or circumstances. And like with your Taxi example, people will still have sympathy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this were nromal circumstances my missus could go tomorrow get a warrant for eviction but due to covid have to wait a extra 4 weeks (others have to wait longer!)

You have a lot of shit tenants out there that equally as bad as these nasty landlords. They are entitled to be anti-landlordthat way mind you but their reasoning i dont agree with and tyw generalizing that they are bad people.

Xela Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Sorry to hear of your trouble @Demitri_C. Like you said, there are bad landlords and tenants and good landlords and tenants. The situation of what your GF is going through is exactly the reason I decided not to get a second property. Hope you get it sorted soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's through the accelerated procedure, it doesn't look possible to get a warrant or writ for eviction until after the previous bits of the process have been completed which wouldn't happen instantly whatever the circumstances, it doesn't look like.

You misunderstood the point she would go for the warrant not having to wait four weeks to do it as you cant apply to the court for a warrant order for eviction until 23rd august so 4th weeks just to apply. Its stupid you should still be able to apply now if your in the process of selling a house for example. 14 hours ago, Xela said: Sorry to hear of your trouble @Demitri_C.

This is one of the reasons the missus is selling not just the funding of a house but the headache of it dealing with clowns like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You let the drunk person in and took the gamble , you have to deal with the downside of that OT a little but before lockdown I was at a pub and these two drunk girls were all over the place , one of them fell down the stairs was lucky not to crack her head ... whilst most people just stood around laughing or trying to see if they could get off with them , I booked them a taxi ... he turned up , saw the state of them and said if they puke it s £200 cleaning bill I'm sending you .... seeing as I wasn't getting in the taxi with them, and he didn't know who I was, I agreed .... I'll never know if they puked or not ..or if they are now buried under some trees in a forest for that matter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 31, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2020 We've had a second property for about 15 years, that we used to let, and then our daughter and her husband lived it for several years. After they finally bought a place of their own last year, we decided to sell it. Worked like stink renovating and redecorating, had a buyer lined up - and then the pandemic hit. The buyer got cold feet and pulled out of the deal. Finally got another buyer, and managed to complete the day before yesterday. The day before the Bradford lockdown. Phew. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
