I read the following on legislation.gov.uk From 1 October 2022, the Government is amending The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations to require rental properties to install a carbon monoxide alarm in every room with a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers).

Just been reading about more new regulations I have 2 smoke alarms 1 on the ground floor and 1 on the first floor landing ceiling in front of the bed rooms 1 of the bedrooms has the gas boiler do I now need to install a seperate smoke alarm just for that bedroom.

"A new ground will be introduced for landlords who wish to sell their property and allow landlords and their family members to move into a rental property." Can anyone tell me what this new "ground" will be? or are the politicians keeping it a secret until the last minute, or maybe they haven't and won't decide until the very last minute, or even after it becomes law. I can't find any details so I'm unable to make any plans regarding my property

Not long but there is also a natural rent cap, if rents go too high people just won't be able to rent, governments should keep out and allow business to find its own level

While Britain burns, the Tories are … fiddling with themselves again

He was also planning to abolish inheritance tax which would have been quite nice

I'm not a Labour voter but I was kinda wondering what type of qualifications does any PM need to run the lives and decide the future of 65 million people

But she hasn't got a degree in history

I'm wondering if the banks will refuse to lend on Non BTL sales in the future and what EPC they will force sellers to have

Grampa do you think the EPC will affect non BTL I have a 4 bedroom high maintenance with a large garden that I rent out, might want to sell it in about 5 years time only just makes a D

I had buyer's interested in one of my properties they had no interest in the ECP rating which has got me thinking if people are interested in buying to live in they have no worries about the EPC's unless they are BTL buyers

Should check that date again I heard it will start April 2024 because of the pandemic

I think it was delayed a year due to the kung flu pandemic

TMD (tax made digital ) the brain child of George Osborne I belive. As from April 2024 Landlords and small businesses with a GROSS income of more than 10k, it will be mandatory

London commuter towns are being targeted by property developer Strawberry Star Group to establish its new £1 billion build-to-rent (BTR) empire. It has announced plans for a 163-apartment block in Harlow (pictured) due to start construction this year under its Star Living brand. The firm also has planning permission for a 100-unit site in Gravesend, while an existing block in Luton – where 65% of the current 135 rental units were rented within the last three months of completion – will soon release 564 more.

Would you employ a bricklayer to service your gas boiler? I don't think so.

I decided a long time ago not to vote for any of them. Nearly all are unqualified to do the job they are doing History and geography Seems to be their main qualification, must be an alternative but not sure what

Home Secretary “We urge all private landlords to consider what accommodation they might have available to house those who want to come here. To assist with this, it is vital that the Government swiftly provides details as to how landlords can easily register properties that might be suitable for those who need homes.” This government has spent the last 12 years introducing new legislation to destroy the rental sector and now have the absolute audacity to ask for our help

Hi I have 2 wired in smoke alarms in one of my properties, according to my agent they are out of date 10 years old. Didn't know they went out of date anyone have any idea of the cost of replacing the 2

Hi does any know anything about a "party wall agreement" my neibours next door to one of my rental properties wants to build an extension against my property What should I do? this is new to me

Did the government put a cap on how much you have to spend to raise the EPC last I heard they were still in talks about it

Let's hope England doesn't copy wales

I've been here 20 years now but still kept property in the UK worst thing for me was the coward Cameron government bringing in CGT for non residents Awch
