Recordings from Yesterday - November Newcastle Meeting
Damp & Mould in property!!
The Housing Ombudsman has released their latest report and surprise surprise, the biggest offenders for complaints about poor standards are about Social Providers!! Read it below. https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/UKHOS/bulletins/3bf404a This seems to disprove the claims by all these councils that the bad properties are in the PRS and that is why they need Licensing. It is nothing to do with income generation!! If we look at Newcastle as an example they have had to rehouse at least 78 families from YHN properties for damp & mould and have referred two social providers for investigation! The number of PRS properties found to be substandard after 15 years of Licensing are negligible by comparison. Despite my investigations they are unable to provide any clear information that fees have only been spent on implementing the Licensing Schemes! Dont forget that Ed Foster will be at our meeting on Thursday 7th. Dont miss it and book your place while there is still some available!!

Licensing renewal price surge for 2025!
I’ve just received the email from Newcastle City Council stating selective licensing is to increase by over 50% from when I paid mine in 2022, upto £1,000! It was bad enough that once a licence was provided it wasn’t prorated, effectively I’ll have had mine for 3yrs come April 2025 & now they want another £1,000!! Are the council in attendance on 7th Nov to explain the rationale behind the increase, whilst explaining to landlords how the monies collected to date have been spent? Absolute disgrace IMHO!
