Hi I have unfortunately had dealings with a so called property management agent called David Newton T/A 24/7 maintenance solutions.We were away on holiday for 3 weeks and used is service to look after our properties.Unfortunately his service was appalling.As such I have refused to pay his invoice and after only 5 days after receiving his invoice,he claims he intends to take me to court for non payment.I have no intention of paying and I am happy to have my day in court.He is based in Stockton.Has anybody else had any dealings with this person?Many thanks in advance for any replies

Hi I was just wondering if anybody has had dealings with Michael Gofton of the Public Protection and Neighbourhood team at Newcastle City Council.If so how did it go?Thanks for any reply.

Hi thank you for your reply.No i understand the reason for the drop in students,I was more wondering why there are far less student properties available to rent.The number of properties has dropped by at least 30% this year and as I said they are becoming more difficult to deal with so I was wondering whether this was the reason in Newcastle Upon Tyne the number of properties has fallen

HI , I have been a landlord in Newcastle for almost 10 years renting to only students.We have 4 properties and over the initial few years the students were ok but in the last couple of years they have been extremely difficult.I also noticed that the number of student properties available has dramatically fallen over the 12 months.Does anybody now any reason for this?To be honest I am close to calling it a day myself.There is simply to much grieve and some of the tenants we have recently are just down right nasty.I find more helpful you are the worse they are.Any comments would be great
