Episode 271 - Storytime - When A Property Deal Goes Wrong
Manage episode 498586311 series 2817294
Ever had a council demand you replace 10 perfectly functional hand basins because they're 40mm too small? That's exactly what happened to Arsh Ellahi with Manchester City Council - and it's sparked a heated debate about HMO regulations gone mad.
In this no-holds-barred episode of The Property Rebel, Arsh breaks down the absurdity of spending £1,500 to replace working basins that are just 4cm smaller than regulations require. Is this really about tenant welfare, or bureaucratic box-ticking at its finest?
With local authorities cracking down harder on private landlords over the past 18 months, this story highlights a growing frustration many property investors are facing. When does compliance cross the line into complete madness?
- The reality of dealing with increasingly strict HMO regulations
- Why "following the rules" isn't always logical or cost-effective
- The impact of regulatory creep on property investment • Should common sense trump bureaucracy?
Whether you're a seasoned HMO investor or just getting started, this episode will have you questioning where we draw the line between reasonable regulations and regulatory overreach.
What's your take? Are councils being unreasonably pedantic, or is this just the cost of doing business in 2024?
