Representation Summary:
It is tiresome that landlords as businesses are able to blight the lives of local residents without fear of any form of sanction. This is after all what these HMOs and Private Lets are, they are not Mr and Mrs Smiths pension plan, they are high profit businesses. If you take the recently converted property in Hastings Road, this has 8 let able units within, which will produce an income of £ 3200 at least per month. A very nice return on a property that sold for £170,000 recently. In fact because of this the Landlord is now sitting on an asset which is worth in excess of £450,000, yet contributes nothing to the overall well being and community of this area.
