Housing benefit has been very much in the news recently and so I was delighted when Steven Perrons of Perrons Davis agreed to be my podcast guest for March.
Perrons Davis is a Yorkshire letting agency which specialises in letting to housing benefit tenants.
Steve and I will be discussing housing benefit generally and the effect of the forthcoming changes. But the main part of our talk will be about how to let to HB tenants profitably and the various methods he uses in his agency.
Steve maintains that it IS possible to do very well renting to tenants on benefit and he is looking forward to sharing his secrets with us.
Questions are now closed for this podcast which has been recorded and will be going online shortly.
What I would like to know is why the government thinks that the private landlord should reduce his rents when he has overheads that are escalating along with everyone else and is trying to get a living out of a very large investment for little and some times no return? Also given thiese changes why does the government think that the private landlord will rent to benefit tenants at all given the scarcity of property to rent? What I would like is for the MP’s to take a cut in their wages of say 20% what do you reckon?
