So she owns 8 properties and thinks she should be excluded from the new rules?
Where’s my tiny violin?
Woman running business upset at having to pay business rates?
Wait are they presenting this as a problem?
This shows the changes in legislation are working and hopefully will force these people to sell up so people can buy houses/flats or the owners can just pay more tax.
This looks good to me.
Yet this sub the other day was defending the likes of her receiving the winter fuel allowance. Go figure.
8 flats at an average rate of £300 per night each on weekends, and she now faces a £9000 a year council tax bill.
Each flat will pay their bill with just two weekends of bookings.
My sympathy to these poor people
Articles like this, trying to make us feel sorry for someone owning eight properties, are laughable. She asks what she is supposed to do to pay the bill. Well, hazard a guess, you have eight properties worth more than £20k.
It is disturbing how many landlords a) play the victim and b) do not understand basic market principles. I have had conversations with two landlords in the last month who complained about having to reduce rents because they could not fill a property or sell a property due to being cash-strapped. If you cannot fill properties, you charge too much; that is basic economics. If that means you are no longer profitable, you are no longer running a viable business. No, I do not feel sorry for you having to sell one of your eight houses, you are not financially insecure if you can sell off a 6 figure asset anytime your fiscal irresponsibility makes you fall on ‚hard times‘. Landlords are not providing a service; they are hoovering up assets already there, forcing the rest of us to rent and making it harder for us to buy.
More entitled than Dave and Barb at Number 4 who don’t work, have 6 kids, 2 new cars and a few holidays a year.
The country is full of these types of people. Entitled old boomers who think everything should benefit them personally.
The amount of boomers I meet who don’t even declare their rental income and understand it’s taxable! They think it’s free money.
Met a woman who’s been making £50k a year renting out her property portfolio for decades. Never once paid tax on it.
Absolute joke
This is excellent news in my book. Potential homes being used for profit making and the new laws are pricing them out.
Kudos to whichever government introduced them. Job well done.
Get the building classed as a hotel with self-catered suites/rooms.
She should be letting these as themed vintage apartment stays because these flats a straight outta 70s/80s
nobody gives a fuck, we all know she will just jack up the already inflated prices and it will make absolutely no difference to her life anyways
Tax landlords twice the amount as working people that do the work.
Just a thought.
8 properties eh? Blimey, she must be a millionaire. She can handle it.
To be fair to her holiday lets are not second homes so they should be taxed as businesses
Clearly missing points here.
How much is the upkeep ? It’s not free.
How much is keeping the holiday home on the location? Once again not free.
How do they get people? Most likely Airbnb etc, not free again, so the total isn’t as high as your saying.
Lack of information, then complain on reddit.. gheez
Its amusing seeing the comments here from people who think the economy and cost of properties in Blackpool is similar to Sandbanks
>“I read in the newspapers about this second homes crackdown, but we never considered for a moment it would impact us.“
I would love to know their reasoning for not checking.
Why not? You don’t need more than one car, one pair of shoes, the list goes on and on but no one complains.
And if you had 8 homes would you complain? Would you give it up? The answer is no.
I have one home, but if I could afford more then I still wouldn’t as it’s to much hassle, but some enjoy that
Being a landlord isn’t a career choice, gotta get a real job like the rest of us 🤪
