As developers are getting more keen to shift units then this is when new-build can start to become attractive, as they now ’stack’. By securing up to 30% discounts off current true market value, new build apartments and houses start to make financial sense. Many investors steered clear of new-build, and quite rightly so, as they were usually over-valued, and the yields took a bashing when mulitple units compete to secure tenants!

However the guys at Property Horizons show how new-build apartments can actually make sense, when you secure a decent discount from the developer. They have given some examples of some recent units they have sold in Liverpool, these were for some luxury apartments with instant £40,000 of equity build in, large positive cashflow from day one and also high rental demand waterfront location.

Last week the site was taken down for a total overhaul, and yesterday the new site was launched, which includes some ground breaking changes, with some of the new services offered to the active below market value investor.

The biggest change is the opportunity for investors to secure exclusive rights to ALL leads generated by Rapid Property for specific postcode areas, making this ideal for investors who have a very targeted investment areas.

This offer comes with a refund guarantee, should you feel that your chosen postcode area doesn’t yield enough leads.

 Despite handing his company back to the bank last year Grant Bovey and his wife Anthea Turner have just spent £5million on two homes in Surrey. So you could forgive the taxpayers for feeling a little miffed that they are having to pick up a £20million bill for the collapse of his property empire.

The taxpayer has ended up in the frame because Grant Bovey’s buy-to-let business had been propped up by loans from Halifax Bank of Scotland when it hit the buffers. Imagine Homes was handed to the bank in October last year having sustained losses of more than £50million.

That debt has now been passed to bailed-out bank Lloyds Group after its takeover of HBOS earlier this year. The taxpayer owns a 43 per cent share of Lloyds, leaving them liable for more than £20million of Bovey’s debt.

Last week Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman, said: ‘Yet again we find a tale of reckless lending by the banks where the taxpayer is left to pick up the tab. Buy-to-let was one of the riskiest areas of the property market and HBOS should never have left itself so exposed.’

Imagine Homes was once one of the largest buy-to-let businesses in the country but Mr Bovey’s track record in business is patchy having already presided over a number of failed firms.

The Times have reported that landlords could be made liable for unpaid water bills for tenants who have departed under a government review of water charges.

The proposal comes amid plunging profits and rising bad debts at quoted water companies. Northumbrian Water reported a 10.3 per cent fall in pre-tax profits to £152.7 million for the year to March 31. This was slightly ahead of analysts’ forecasts of £150.7 million.

John Cuthbert, its managing director, said that the company had increased its provision for bad debt from domestic users by £2 million to £30 million. Demand for water and sewage services fell by 1 per cent last year. He said that water companies were vulnerable to bad debts among consumers because they were not permitted to disconnect their supply for non-payment. This meant that their bills tended to be the last ones paid.

Recovering outstanding debt from tenants was particularly difficult. “Quite often by the time we have found out who the tenants are, they have gone,” Mr Cuthbert said. “We are talking to the Government about what help they can give us here. One proposal would be to make the landlord liable.”

The proposals to make landlords liable for water bills at their properties have been drawn up by Ofwat. They would require property owners or managing agents to identify who is the “liable person” for water charges at any property. A spokesman said: “The occupier will always be the first person liable, but, as things stand, there is no incentive for the landlord to tell the water company who the occupier is and without this information the water company cannot bill anyone.”

The new rules, which would require primary legislation, would give landlords an incentive to provide details of the tenant or face paying an outstanding bill themselves.

Ofwat has submitted the proposals to Anna Walker, chief executive of the Healthcare Commission, who was asked by the Government last summer to conduct a review of charging and metering for water and sewerage services.

Thames Water, which serves 8.5 million drinking water customers in London and the Thames Valley, welcomed the proposals and said that bad debt and write-off costs increase the typical household bill by £11 a year. “Landlords take damages deposits up front from their tenants and so they are in a better position to recoup outstanding debts if needed,” a spokesman said.

Richard Jones, secretary of the Residential Landlords’ Association, said that rents would have to rise to cover landlords’ extra exposure. “We are already concerned about how money can get held up in the new tenancy deposit regime. If you end up with a dispute resolution service, excessive procedural requirements are being put on landlords. Cases are being thrown out on technicalities,” he said.
