Just as useless as that lot in Westminster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory might be wrong. I think it was although there are a few council owned homes in the area too. The lure of getting £500-600 a month for a two bed house that previously only got around £350-400 a month was too much of a temptation. The council bought in a selective Licencing scheme in the area but it didn’t make much difference.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is well known that laundered drug money is used to pay for houses which are then rented to those on benefits. How many of these landlords will be able to prove mortgage payments as they will be paid for cash. These so called landlords are taking the mickey out of the system with landlord schemes, a voluntary step. Landlords in this area need to be licenced like public houses in order to operate. That’s a bit strong considering houses were only fetching between £10k to £25k in the area before EU migration. My brother bought a 2 bed house on Robey street in 1999 for £11k. Money launderers invest their money in other commodities rather then run down houses in Page Hall!, 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkslass72 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I'm sure the mortgage would have eventually cost me five times that. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
