Thomas Balogun, a landlord, shares his thoughts on the comments by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who said people like Thomas aren't working.
Keir Starmer has suggested that landlords aren’t working people ‘Well, they wouldn’t come within my definition.’ That was the response of Keir Starmer, who, when pressed on how he defined ‘working people’, made a point not to include those who receive income from assets, like landlords. Well as a responsible landlord, I want the Prime Minister to know that people like me put far more than just money into the properties we own.
While I bring in management companies to handle specific responsibilities like looking after heating and lighting, there are always situations that go beyond their scope and require me, as the landlord, to step in directly. And that’s made easier by maintaining a direct line to my tenants. I believe that human connection fosters trust and open communication, making it easier to address concerns promptly.
