You want to see our council tax bill ……..Ok, the cost of pretty much everything is going through the roof. Email this morning from our buildings/contents insurers and our annual policy is going up by almost 25%!
I bet I don't. Mine's bad enough now and it's going up 5%. You'd be surprised how expensive mine is considering I live in a Communist third world country.You want to see our council tax bill ……..
I’m not sure if it is countrywide - down here they have hammered anyone who has an empty ‘second property’ that is vacant/uninhabited. I sort of get it as a Brighton has a massive stock of second/holiday homes but it seems, as ever, that everyone else is being clobbered as a result of one specific problem. Only last night on the local news there were people whining that they couldn’t afford to live in Brighton - much as I would like to I can’t afford to live in Belgravia, get over it.I bet I don't.

When we moved back home, it took nine months to sell our place in Kent and the local council charged us full council tax on the empty property. Yet when I lived in Asia, Mrs P was given a 25% discount for single occupancy.I’m not sure if it is countrywide - down here they have hammered anyone who has an empty ‘second property’ that is vacant/uninhabited.

The irony is that loading landlords up with this stuff is only going to see rent increases and that doesn't help the housing problem.
