Section 21 eviction notices have been served on 150 residents on a block of flats in Deptford, South London, weeks before Christmas. A Section 21 is a legal method for the landlord to require a tenant to leave a rental property without the need to provide a reason for "no-fault" eviction. A tenant can challenge it and stay in the property until physically evicted, but they may incur court costs.

Is Higher Inflation Good or Bad News for Landlords? Inflation is a hot topic in today’s economy, and as a landlord, you might wonder whether it works in your favour or against you. In the latest episode of the Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast, we explore how rising inflation impacts landlords and what you can do to stay ahead. The Good News: For landlords with fixed-rate mortgages, inflation can actually be beneficial. As inflation rises, the real value of your debt decreases. This means that over time, you’re effectively paying back your mortgage with “cheaper” money. Additionally, in an inflationary environment, property values and rental income often rise, helping you build equity faster and increase your cash flow. Watch video - https://youtu.be/X6GlMT3bZS4 The Challenges: On the flip side, higher inflation can also mean rising costs. Maintenance, repairs, and property management fees are likely to increase, eating into your profits. For landlords with variable-rate mortgages, rising interest rates (often

This simple, yet effective concept can transform your financial future and help you build wealth faster.   What does it mean to pay yourself first?   It means prioritizing your savings and investments before spending on anything else.

BRICS Leaders Propose Gold-Backed Currency Reset: What It Means for Global Markets   As BRICS leaders—representing Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—gather in Russia, discussions around a gold-backed currency reset have gained traction. This move could signal a shift away from the dominance of the US dollar in global trade, potentially reshaping the global financial system.   BRICS nations have long advocated for a more multipolar financial landscape, with less reliance on the dollar.
