Private landlords deliberately charging less than market value?

Hi all,


I'm a journalist who is looking for case studies of private landlords consciously charging their tenants less than the market rent because they think that market rent prices are extortionate. For example, my landlord charges ?1340 per month for a three bedroom house near ED station which is well below the normal rental value of the area. Another example, a friends dad rents out three bedrooms in his house in Hackney for ?400 p/m for each bedroom, again well below what you'd normally pay in that area.


If you are a landlord, or know one, that fits the bill, please message me direct or email [email protected]

Yes, I know such landlords. Generally they fall into one of two categories. They either don?t have a mortgage on a property bought many years ago for ?30k or less so can pass on these savings, or they are not declaring their rental income to HMRC.

    • and were people like you worried about "cutting hiring, prices going up and new business not starting" under the last govt or as a result of brexit I don't have labour blinkers - I didn't even vote labour at the election.  But do take a look at the data for that petition - and see how many actually come from UK
    • Take your labour blinkers off sir, Businesses are cutting hiring, prices will go up and new businesses won't start all as a result in the NI hike for employers  Talking down the country pre budget also knocked consumer confidence  Tomorrow labour are goung to announce getting young people into education or employment, yet with the above where will those jobs come from ?  The three people who sent the pertition to me are all small business owners who are taking the brunt of the changes introduced in the budget, one is even talking about closing as it impacts margins so heavily.  This is why people are unhappy. Labour hog tied themselves by promising no tax rises on working people and now the economy is suffering.  Take the red pill sir, not the blue one.     
    • Highly recommend Brendan and Tony at No-Flies. They are professional, friendly and always keep you informed of what’s going on with the sale of your house.
