Shock as agent tells Ombudsman to get lost
Tuesday 2nd August 2011
In what can only be described as a V-sign to the Ombudsman, the estate and letting agent kicked out of the scheme has told it to go f*** itself.He has also told local agents worried about his ‘overnight success’ to go to the Samaritans for counselling.
Yesterday, on LAT’s sister site EAT, we reported that wli.uk.com agent had been expelled from the Ombudsman scheme because of convictions for fraud.
Amerjit Singh Dhuga, the owner of wli.uk.com which has sales and lettings offices in the Midlands, was fined £3,120 with £3,417 costs for 26 offences.
As reported, although Dhuga has been expelled from voluntary membership, the law as it stands means – that unless the OFT bans him – he must continue with the basic TPO membership.
As such, he can continue to trade, deal with the public, and cock a snook at both TPO and other agents.
Shelter accuses local councils of turning blind eye to bad landlords
Tuesday 13th September 2011
New research published by Shelter today reveals that rogue landlords are operating unchecked across the country, even after they have been reported to local authorities.
The report shows that local councils are dragging their feet when it comes to enforcement action.
The housing and homelessness charity used Freedom of Information procedures to ask every local authority in England 12 key questions about the scale of problems with rogue landlords and what each council is doing about it.
Out of 326 local authorities, all but four replied.
The results show that there are 1,477 landlords known to local authorities who are said to be repeatedly making tenants’ lives a misery.
Of particular worry, the responses show that complaints about serious and potentially life-threatening hazards, including dangerous gas and electrics, have risen by 25% over the past two years.
The research also shows that overall complaints to local authorities about private landlords have increased, taking them to 86,628 in the last year.
Yet despite the sharp increase in problems, just 270 successful prosecutions have been brought by local authorities against landlords during the same period.
Shelter is warning that unless councils urgently crack down on this small but highly dangerous minority, more tenants will be at risk.
Campbell Robb, Shelter’s chief executive, said: “The reality is that rogue landlords are out there and they’re getting away with it.
“Every day at Shelter we see the devastating impact rogue landlords have on people’s lives as they remain trapped in homes that cause misery and, in some cases, put lives at risk.
“What’s more, we believe there could be thousands more tenants who are suffering in silence, holding back from complaining out of fear of the consequences or because they don’t feel their voices will be heard.
“Local authorities have the powers to tackle rogue landlords but too many aren’t making the most of their armoury.
“They must follow the lead of those councils taking a zero tolerance approach to rogue landlords, and support tenants who are suffering by cracking down on the worst offenders in their area.”
Citizens Advice chief executive Gillian Guy said the Shelter report was deeply concerning. She said: “Good landlords respond effectively to reasonable requests from tenants around repairs, maintenance and health and safety issues.
“However, we still see tenants threatened with eviction from rogue landlords if they complain. We have long campaigned on this issue.
“Tenants need protection from retaliatory eviction and other forms of harassment. This timely report from Shelter shows that the problem has not gone away.”
As part of its Evict Rogue Landlords campaign, Shelter has set up Rogue Landlord Watch, an interactive map to help people avoid falling victim to rogue operators in their local area.

Estate agent faces jail after masterminding property scam
 |
An estate agent who was an undischarged bankrupt is awaiting sentencing after masterminding a property scam worth over £1m.
One of his accomplices was a mortgage adviser.
Both Raymond Abramson, 68, and Mark Jopson, 52, who ran Mark Jopson Financial Services, admitted conning investors into buying 21 homes in Lancashire.
The values of the properties being sold were inflated on the promises of guaranteed tenancies, rental income and refurbishments that didn’t materialise.
The investors were from Ireland, with the frauds taking place between January 2005 and September 2008.
The two men, together with a third accomplice, John Edwards, 43, were originally charged in October 2009 after an investigation by Greater Manchester Police’s fraud unit, and had been due to face a lengthy trial but changed their pleas at the last moment.
Prosecutor Andrew Nuttall QC told Manchester Crown Court how investors from Ireland were tempted with the promise of purchasing properties with guaranteed rental income. The offences related to 21 properties out of 31 on the defendants’ books.
Abramson masterminded the scam, using the pseudonym Trevor Smith so that he could prevent investors from finding out that he was trading illegally as a bankrupt. He recruited Jopson to arrange the mortgages, bringing in Edwards to help.
The three men all admitted conspiracy to defraud, and are due to be sentenced on November 28.
Medical reports will be sought for Abramson, who is said to have a number of medical difficulties, and a psychiatric report will be compiled on Edwards.
The defendants will also face Proceeds of Crime Act hearings following their sentencing.
Jeffrey Samuels QC, defending Abramson, said it was understood by the defendants that they were at risk of receiving custodial sentences.
