Being so self righteous is why she has done wrong.
But as far as I am aware the only part of this that could feasibly be a police matter is not declaring her electoral address correctly. And really, does that deserve time and effort by a police force that only prioritises and turns up to an event when the blood is flowing?
Otherwise the financial affairs are beyond the 6 year limit. So records are beyond the HMRC capability to interrogate. The 'advice' will surely be, "you got away with it, it's too late for HMRC to do anything".
The only change to that is if fraud is cited, but that's v difficult to prove, as it's an intent. Naivety is the obvious defence.
She has been naughty, but I can't imagine the Ashton voters will give a toss (if she still has the whip come election time). They're too busy sourcing drugs (to buy or sell) and shooting each other for fun. As it 'appens I have a property there, and it's still better than Prestatyn.
I think HMRC can go back 20 years if necessary

Hello, I have one rental property which will be empty for the first time at the end of this month. What is best practice whilst waiting to sell the property? Do I have water, gas, electric turned off? If I keep the utilities on are there any tariffs that will be cost effective?
I've read different approaches regarding utilities, some people have their central heating system drained and turn the water off.
I'm hoping for a quick sale and if I can't sell within six months I will let it out again. Any advice with experienced landlords would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Anita
If it was me I'd change the utility suppliers to ones don't have a standing charge, also drain down the central heating if it's winter.

My Sister in Law is a senior manager in the local DWP and she would tell you in a private conversation that the benefit system of social payments is so high now that for a lot of people and families it doesn't pay to work and pay taxes etc. Not only that the Black Market of working for cash in hand is now the choice for may people receiving social payments.
You have all read in the national press about benefit fraud and the people who commit this and in some cases the amounts are staggering and the punishment fairly light if caught out.
Meanwhile the working population pay for this through taxes and NI.
It's hardly surprising the powers to be are trying force in digital currency if easy to track

If it's a terrace or semi property they could be entering from the neibours property

Any opinions on landlord legal insurance

Why are premiums increasing sharply for home insurance ? What's the excuse this time ?
We know car insurance is increasing for some cars.....and we know why but I can t work out why it's increasing sharply for property.

The money grabbing insurance companies seem to double my rental properties insurance every year, can anyone recommend a company, what would you include in the policy as important, (I know it's a bit of a how long is a ball of string question).

As always. Fortunately I have never had to do an eviction through the Courts but I am of the opinion if I ever do have to I will employ a professional organisation like Landlord Action and just suck up the expense. So much hassle otherwise that I could do without.
Do you know if it possible for some professional to appear in court in one's absence, as a court appearance in my situation as a non residents would be very difficult.

Seems the courts are heavily on the side of the tenants

The worst thing is not being told any details by these scum politicians they are taking to Chinese culture and lying by omission.
If they do decide to bring in tenant right to to buy at a discount I'm wondering wheather it will have to work it's way through the house of Lords as with the rental reform bill.

Just my thoughts on current events. It does look extremely likely that there will be a Labour government in power this time next year especially after the Scottish by-election result on Thursday with Labour winning a huge majority victory over the SNP. I will go along with political Guru Professor Sir John Curtis detailed views and mathematics on the subject of politics when it comes to general election statistics etc. of course there is a very slim chance that the Conservatives do pull off a stunning result but it's not a bet I would place I have to say.
Now, the above paragraph brings me onto my point which is the Labour Government housing policies which is well documented and represented by Angela Raynor, deputy leader and left wing shadow housing minister on the policies that SHE will introduce within 90 days which will affect every landlord in the Country. The worse one probably will be the tenant right to buy and the 12 month rule on no tenant evictions for any reason and probably a few more rules thrown in for good measure to stuff the private BtL landlord. So, I would imagine many BtL landlords will get out of the business sooner rather than later to avoid Ms Angela Raynor and of course, if it applies, the Conservative new rules on capital gains tax allowance on selling 2nd properties next April. That CG allowance halves yet again.
Now for some heart warming news for landlords for a Saturday. "MP rips off security camera's from a non paying tenant since January 2023". I say warming news because I have always thought until a problem affects the political Elite nothing will change and I have no doubt this particula MP would probably had a whisper in Michael Gove's ear about tenant evictions for non payment and the length of time it takes to get them out.
Full story here. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tory-mp-ripped-out-single-mother-tenants-security-camera-vdn0669s7
I thought the tenant right to buy had disappeared with Jeremy Corbyn, have you heard it's going to be resurrected by Angeles raynor ?

I doubt that will ever happen as the the legal consequences would be a tangled mess especially if you are going to involve the small private BTL landlord. If this law was ever to be introduced imagine the mass exodus to the door of private landlords and there again it has to pass into law through the house of Lords so I wouldn't be too concerned at the moment.
If I can remove my tenant before it's passed through the house of Lords that would be fine,a matter of which would take the longest
-
I been reading that rayner is closely affiliated with Corbyn, what really worries me is that she might introduce a tenant right to buy at a discount

It's become perfectly clear that both governments want the PRS finished, in a time of a housing crisis I'm wondering what the real motive is behind their thinking. Is it to try and win votes (a politicians main objective) or is there a hidden agenda.

Yes, then they will look at raising how much tax we pay.
Rachael reeves had already stated that landlords will pay a higher rate of tax

Hi as I live abroad most of the time I was looking for a type of landlord legal insurance cover that can pay for a solicitor to attend a court hearing on my behalf should the situation arise.
I've checked insurance cover but can't seem to find anything that relates to this

I don't agree. Labour do have their supporters but there are many others opposed to a Labour win.
I'm not so sure that Labour have the ability to win a majority......especially with Starmer and his lack lustre shadow cabinet.
It may be a close run result with no clear winner and then it'll get interesting as the smaller parties will come into play.
I'm old enough to remember when there were Labour Gov's that we could look up to and respect, the current Labour lot fall far short of expectations.
Still it's not all bad news......looks like there may be a new business opportunity for me soon. The Gov have apparently got thousands of good second hand inflatables and outboard motors stockpiled on the South coast and looking for a buyer.😉😉
There maybe a lot of buyers wanting those inflatables to escape the UK after the next election

Lisa Nandy is another in a long list of those in the Labour shadow cabinet who just do not impress me.
Starmer, Nandy, Thornberry, Milliband, Ashworth, Cooper, Rayner, Reeves & especially Dodds.......the rest I've never seen or heard of and hope I never do.
I can't think of a single policy, idea or suggestion that any of them have tabled that I've thought was good.
God help us if this lot are running the country in a couple of years time !
It looks like they will be

Just wondering if the above will have to go through the house of Lords before it can be implemented. (same as the renters reform bill) Or can she introduced it with a snap of her fingers

Gove starts his campaign today for change to UK housing law etc. From what I reading and hearing on TV and radio there is some back-peddling on his proposals from a year ago. There is evidence that some new build housing is happening to house immigrants and definitely strong evidence that private rental properties (in my location) are being snapped up for immigrants both legal and non legal. That evidence has come from my EA and LA contacts where they have said that 2 bed and 3 bed properties are being rented out for anywhere up to £300 above normal rental rates being charged to the local council. I have seen on Rightmove rental property evidence to back that up as well. That excess rental payment is being paid for by the local council through government grants. Admittingly this arrangement, at present, probably refers to probably less than 10 properties.
I don't trust Gove. He is a Weasel., but as we are nearing a general election I would think he has watered down a lot of his anti landlord proposals to gain support from Tory MP's and voters.
It's Lisa nandy that sends a shiver down my spine

Just wondering what Lisa nandy will do now when labour wins the next election, if she wants to wear the badge she's got to go further than gove, maybe force landlords to sell to tenants at a big discount.

Can anyone recommend an eviction specialist and any idea how much they charge

The government is doing the exact opposite of what they should be doing, should deregulate the PRS to attract more landlords and more investment, or maybe they want small investors gone to make way for large corporations, that would explain the media landlord bashing, that's become a vote winner for the puppet politicians.
