yup- a full scale widespread tightening up of landlord responsibilties, long tern tenant security, rent capping and the other vajazzle that exists in say germany would help enourmously but that is hardly likely to happen here- this is a country that still lionises the parasite royal family.

"We live in a free market economy so we have to accept things like will happen, as hard as it may be to accept, we have no choice"


what do you mean we have no choice PD?


Are you saying that there are no regulations in place across a wide spread of trading activities in all kinds of markets?


We live in a market economy and long may that continue, but it should never be unregulated and without restraint

Or a country that changed away from that 25 years ago as there were no rental properties being made available.


Also, 'rent capping' does not exist in Germany. They have 'rent controls' but that is only limited to annual rises. The initial rental amount is not controlled in any way. Which is why rents in Berlin are rising at a very high rate.


If you want capped rents, build council houses.

germany has stability and protedcted status for long term tenants. once you are in, you have security.the entry point is another matter

...all my student places, and my contremporaries, were privately owned shitholes (often by the same two infamous brothers) across North London in places like Belsize Park, West Hampstead, Tuffnell Park, Queens Park, that would now be worth an absolute fortune

Ah so THAT'S why I remember reading so mmany anti-immigration pieces back then as well


"coming over here taking the house/jobs that we don't even want"


pish


remember we aren't complaining about people wanting to live in London in 2015 driving up prices - we are talking about people who don't even live here pushing up prices


I remember moving from Swindon to London in 89 and the massive leap in rents - and even still it was affordable. And teh massive leap was because London was even then more attractive to people.


This idea that noone wanted to work/live there is just wrong


Even through the 90s things remained tolerable - it's only in recent years that investors have creamed the place

nope by 1989 the London was turning round - thanks to her that can't be named - I am talking eary 80s not '89, (so not within your 25 year point of reference) but the turnaround was started in the 80s and even the early '90s recession just dented it and it's carried on.


It's not pish go and look at London population trends. Remeber squarts everywhere? hard to let council flats given to students etc etc? Did these things not happen?


Anti-immigrant pieces/nratives are not a reflection of reality - but of bigotness, so to tie them up with some kind of meausre of the popularity of housing is a bit bizzarre?

sorta irrelevant / if correct though


I didnt want to bring up right to buy & the obligation foisted upon councils not to reinvest in further social housing- wee all know this and it seems churlish to state the obvious, but it seems to the ellyfant in the room


thatcher and subsequently everyfeckinone else in power chipped away at the stock of affordable and secure accomodation - whether it was London or Leeds- and pushed the renter into the hands of private individual, without much of a safety net


look at this shite


http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/londoners-queue-overnight-in-subzero-temperatures-to-buy-one-bedroom-flat-for-400k-9998821.html


400K for a scabby one bedder in stratford - who can afford that on the average wage? the gap is filled by money from one of the last centrally planned eonomy dictatorships left.


um

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
