SAL

RICHBRITS NEWSLETTER UPDATE...

Unfortunately, the Scottish Government yesterday announced their plan to introduce a deposit Scheme in Scotland.

SAL have fought against this and along with some other organisations have expressed disappointment about the decision. Last night, John Blackwood of SAL was busy sending out a press release and here is the BBC picking up on it:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/scotland/8274027.stm

Read SAL's response here...

Concern over Scottish Government’s Tenancy Deposit Scheme Plans

The Scottish Association of Landlords (SAL), the Scottish Rural Property and Business Association (SRPBA) and the Chartered Institute of Housing Scotland (CIH) have expressed their disappointment that, despite continued opposition from their organisations, the Minister for Housing and Communities has announced that a national mandatory tenancy deposit scheme is to be introduced.

John Blackwood, Director of SAL, said

“We continue to feel that the introduction of a scheme is disproportionate to the level of problem which exists. We are not denying that tenancy deposits are unlawfully withheld in some cases, just as in some cases the deposit does not cover the costs of repairing damage caused by the tenant. We have maintained our opposition to the introduction of the scheme throughout the working group discussions, and although we tried hard to get other members to consider alternative methods of addressing the problem, we acknowledge we were fighting a losing battle.”

The SRPBA share SAL’s position and Sarah-Jane Laing, SRPBA’s Acting Head of Policy stated,

“We are naturally disappointed that further regulation is being placed on the sector, despite our best efforts to get other stakeholders to consider addressing the tenancy deposit issue through other routes, such as the Private Rented Housing Panel (PRHP). It would be very easy to walk away from the working group process as a result, but we are committed to working with the Scottish Government to develop the details of the scheme, and ensuring that landlords’ interests are at least considered.”

Sue Shone, Policy and Practice Officer with CIH Scotland said

“CIH is very concerned that Scotland will follow England’s approach of a mandatory scheme, this has yet to be evaluated for effectiveness and value for money. In a time of great financial pressure and the unprecedented commitment to end homelessness it seems bizarre that the Scottish Government is willing to invest in a system that may provide barriers to private landlords entering the market but is not proven to be the most effective way to protect tenancy deposits.”

If you feel strongly about yet another chunk of tax payers money being spent on even more legislation that will never be enforced then get in touch with the organisations that are ready and willing to support Private Landlords in Scotland and let them know!

Welcome to the Richbrits Newsletter for September

_____________________________

Letting Agents Wanted ............. In the last Update, I asked for recommendations for GOOD Letting Agents and here are some of your responses... ______ Interested to read your article on Letting Agents. Like you I was helping Allan, my youngest son to look for a rental property in Edinburgh and was totally disgusted and flabergasted by the standard of properties, lack of adherence to legislation and rogue landlords and appauling letting agents in the city. One arranged for us to view a property and when we arrived there a tenant was already in situ who had just moved in 2 weeks previously......and I had driven up from Kelso to look at it with him. Another was advertised as "refurbished....must be seen" again I drove up to look at it with him and it was disgusting and had never seen a paintbrush let alone a cleaner in the last year or two at least!! Eventually we did get him a decent flat which in fact is owned by an Edinburgh solicitor personally, what a joke the paperwork he produced, not a registered landlord and I needed to keep him right on the safety checks, EPC etc he needed to get carried out!!!! How are they getting away with it???!!! All in all I felt so good about my own Letting Agency......proved to me that we are streaks ahead of the City in the standard of properties we offer, effeciency of service provided to landlord & tenant and making sure all our paperwork, leases, safety checks etc etc are in order. Claremont Properties launched in Edinburgh a few months ago adding to the already great reputation that we have in the Borders and know we can offer a better service in Edinburgh than exists there at present......how they are getting away with it beggars belief!!! So I would like to recommend my own agency to anyone looking for a good agent in Edinburgh!!!!" Elaine Kellington - Partner Claremont Properties Letting Management 01573 228468 or 07818 433 825 www.claremontproperties.co.uk ------------------------ I concur with your thoughts on the poor service that letting agents offer to both landlords and tenants and we constantly hear horror stories from both parties of how lazy/greedy agents just do not seem to care. This leads to the industry getting a bad name. We believe that we are one of the best agents in Glasgow and that both tenants’ and landlords’ requirements are professionally managed. The business now manages in excess of 350 properties on behalf of over 200 landlords and the majority of this business has come from word of mouth and referrals. Willie Jamieson 1 Stop Properties 0141 550 5260 www.1stopproperties.co.uk (I have known both Elaine and Willie for a number of years and would have no hesitate in recommending these companies - Clare) --------------------- "Hi Claire - for Dundee landlords I highly recommend the Letting Agent CITY KEYS Lyndsey Hedges Email: lyndsey@citykeys.co.uk Tel: 01382 202123 Web: www.citykeys.co.uk (Recommended by Joanna Gibbings) ---------------- "Great to get another invaluable newsletter. I read with interest (but no surprise) about yours and others experiences of Private Landlords and Letting agents. I run Click-Let Ltd, based in Edinburgh with around 460 properties. I believe that we deliver an excellent service to both Landlords and tenants, everything is by the book. From a tenant perspective we retain very few deposits and where these have been disputed we refer the tenants to the private rental sector in Edinburgh Council. We have never been told that we have unfairly withheld any funds. From a Landlord point of view we track the reason for every Landlord leaving us and in less than 5% of cases is it because they feel that they have had a poor service. In most of these cases I could happily discuss each case with an independent person and strongly believe that we would be considered not to be at fault. All this for an unbelievable Mgt fee of 9.75% + VAT. I have a fantastic team of well trained, motivated and capable staff of whom I am very proud. Why not give us a try :-) Stewart Pitt MD Click-Let Ltd www.click-let.co.uk

RICHBRITS UPDATE - Tuesday 1st September, 09

The next Richbrits Networking Event is happening on

Monday 7th September

7.00pm - 9.00pm

Guest speakers:

As an Inspirational Speaker, Andy Ferguson receives regular praise for his challenging, thought-provoking, yet hilarious presentations.

Although Andy is often introduced as one of life's real adventurers, he prefers to think of himself as an ordinary middle-aged father of two who believes that success, once you know what it really means to you as an individual, is entirely possible each and every day of your life.

His recent exploits have stretched from learning from unemployed youngsters, truant schoolkids and pre-school toddlers to teaching and coaching chief executives, entrepreneurs, business owners, undergraduates, sports teams, even a stage magician!

**********

An article in last Tuesday's Metro caught my eye... The headine "Soldier's family row over 'lost' will" made me think about the service provided by my guest speakers for next month's event. The family of a soldier killed in Afghanistan are locked in a legal dispute with his fiancee over the fallen corporal's estate. Rob Deering, 33, was killed by a booby trap in Helmand province in December last year while serving with the Commando Logistic Regiment. After his death, his fiancee claimed he had made a new will leaving his estate, including the house and a life insurance policy to cover the mortgage, to her. The deceased soldier's sister, however, claimed that he had left his inheritance to her. Read the full story here...

METRO STORY

Michael McCready and Chris Smith have heard many similar stories and that's why the information they will be bringing to the next Wealth Awareness Event will be of particular interest to anyone with assets to protect.

Many IFAs and Solicitors are queuing up to speak to Chris and Michael as they realise the value of the service offered by Countrywide Legal NI Ltd., in helping to protect their clients interests, avoid legal disputes like the one mentioned above and to mitigate the tax burden imposed on beneficiaries which can be easily set up now and will avoid lots of stress and frustration now and after the death of a loved one.
