London Builders Blackthorne Builders:

We recently hired Nick and his team to construct an extra bedroom within our open plan flat. Though we had found his website online and not through a recommendation, we were really pleased with the results and found Nick and his team to be both friendly and efficient - so much so that we would definitely recommend them and will use them again.

Excellent (New Bathroom):

Nick and his team were employed to install a new bathroom. Everything about this team was excellent. The workmanship, the cleanliness and very trustworthy. This is the second time I have used Blackthorne builders and will continue to ask for his services when I’m looking for any type of building or DIY job. No task seems too large or small. I would recommend this team to anyone.

At last a tradesman I can trust (Electrician):

Some things in life are essential and finding a tradesman you can trust is one of those essentials. With “Blackthorne” I found a company that were punctual, true to their quotes, professional, and above all providers of quality work. I needed some lighting sorted out and after varied ranging explanations and quotes, Blackthorne arrived to give a thorough evaluation of the problem. They completed the work on time and true to their quote. I will definitely be using them again.

BPF Industry Calls for a New Housing Agenda

Source Date:  26 January 2009

A meeting on the 26 January 2009 at the British Property Federation’s London Annual Residential Conference discussed changes in the property industry to rental.  

Speakers include:

Sir Bob Kerslake, chief executive of the Homes and Communities Agency

Peter Marsh, chief executive of the Tenant Services Authority,
Fionnuala Earley, chief economist of Nationwide Building Society

Richard Blakeway, housing adviser to the Mayor of London.

With the current housing crisis leaving homes vacant due to lack of lending, and many facing repossession or negative equity, the BPF believe that long term rental provides the solution to these problems.

During the London Annual Residential Conference, items that were discussed included; changes to stamp duty, local housing allowance and a “planning system” to help the rental market and stimulate private company investment.

Changes put forward for stamp duty when buying multiple properties so that it is charged per purchases and not on the multiple amount.  This would reduce costs for large portfolio investments.

The BPF also want rental developments to be given a special financial model recognised through planning as opposed to the model used for owner occupied properties.

Direct payment of local housing allowance (LHA) was stopped in April 2008 which risks the financial management of social security tenants.  Direct payment will ensure landlords will continue to offer rental properties to financially exposed members of society.

Expert views are detailed on the BPF source article.  These views strongly vindicate changes to stamp duty, planning system, and local housing allowance, and support the view that stimulating the rental market will help to alleviate problems faced by investors caused by the current housing crisis.
