This may be of use to some of you expats living in Thailand and renting property out in the UK, read in the newspaper this morning, the title is as follows,

NO PROPERTY LICENCE. NO RENT.

from 6th April 2006, if you rent out a property you may need a property licence. without one, you could lose more than just rent, You could be fined up to £20,000, to find out more, visit propertylicence.gov.uk or contact your local authority.

Amazing! He 'forgets'to pay Council Tax on two properties, and yet has the nerve for this latest load of nonsense.

Amazing ! Even our previous socialists governements in France didn't create such a "monster" (cross finger, it could happen...)

And it's funny to see that in France many people consider Tony Blair like a dangerous ultra liberal pro businesses.

Anyway good luck people, because it's sure that this new law is really a bad news.

Applies only to House in Multiple Occupation (HMO).

Definition of HMO from http://www.odpm.gov.uk/index.asp?id=1164086

1. An entire house or flat which is let to 3 or more tenants who form 2 or more households and who share a kitchen, bathroom or toilet. (For the definition of household read on.)

2. A house which has been converted entirely into bedsits or other non-self-contained accommodation and which is let to 3 or more tenants who form two or more households and who share kitchen, bathroom or toilet facilities.

3. A converted house which contains one or more flats which are not wholly self contained (ie the flat does not contain within it a kitchen, bathroom and toilet) and which is occupied by 3 or more tenants who form two or more households.

4. A building which is converted entirely into self-contained flats if the conversion did not meet the standards of the 1991 Building Regulations and more than one-third of the flats are let on short-term tenancies.

In order to be an HMO the property must be used as the tenants’ only or main residence and it should be used solely or mainly to house tenants. Properties let to students and migrant workers will be treated as their only or main residence and the same will apply to properties which are used as domestic refuges.

, as i know i have a few freinds in Thailand that live on there incombe from renting there house etc in the uk.

just wondering about how much is the average amount u guys get per month for you properties rent wise...

the reason i ask is that i too am a budding landlord...i have 2 properties which i rent out make a profit off the rent of about 300 pounds sterling a month.....plus i also intend to rent out our home whic hshould bring in another 300 pounds per month......

i plan to buy other houses before moving to thailand...but just wondering do u guys get a property managment company to look after your portfolio ? or family?
