The sound editor has committed a crime against humanity.

wtf i am not native english speaker and even though i dont have this problem, just stupid accents with some music in background xDDD

this was done intentionally to avoid youtube flagging copyrighted materials from been flagged by the algorithm, very common on thing on youtube , you dummy.

@@maktry It's from an official BBC channel and I highly doubt they would have show/play copyrighted materials without the correct rights.

You can thank Dubbing Mixer David McCLEAN for that.

Omg seriously the editor did a crap job on this video

sushimitten why you ask if your sure the bs is coming apart it’s unravelling I’m sure they just people money hungry video churning trying to stay afloat in the this new media era they can’t control who pays 4 tv really

BBC isn't what it used to be, all their graphics, green-screens and sound is the poorest of all news channels.

The problem does not exist on the original broadcast - which remains available on BBC iPlayer.

I suspect this is an earlier version that goes out to be put on youtube. I'd also gather that the TV version is probably up to snuff, and they'd rather that you view that instead of videos online.

@@kevinmrn Its cause they are fake news and barely making it financially. You should look up how many alt-left, liberal, democrat media companies George Soros has saved. He needs them to push his narrative. He just gave bla ck lyves madder(spelt wrong to dodge algo) 100 million(80% went to salaries of all the chapters world wide. The young turks were about to end(Anerica would throw a Continent Party) until george soros and his socialist groups infused millions into them.

remember this couple only care for the profits , we get a service with the bbc . True no one should go to prison because of not paying there t v licence or even be fined unless they have the money .

Well Said!

Well said 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

It's another reason to stop paying a TV licence

The BBC don't like the truth

The Thatcherian dream of a 'home-owning democracy' has been shown to be just that: a dream. Fewer people can afford to buy, resulting in more having to rent.

All part of the plan

Bit of a ridiculous comparision considering the average wage in the 60's was less than 1000 pound per annum (women 500) and normally there was one wage per household and now the average wage is 30,000 per annum and normally 2 wages per household!!!!!!!!!!

£5600 now 2022

Yup and he doesn’t care about ruining a young family when he’s got millions! £1,200 to the Wilson’s is pocket change and they should let it go.

No point blaming the government in charge now, blame thatcher for selling off social houses for penny’s and making private building projects build more, every new housing development has to build social housing and affordable homes, however the building project manager can request exemption to say “they won’t make enough money from it” and its normally granted, happens in my area all the time where new housing developments are springing up every couple of months because we’re right outside London, it’s easy for commuters as it only takes 30 mins to get into central London and London employees generally have a lot more money. Reality is, people lapped up social housing in the 80s and 90s and are now private renting social houses to people who should of had those social houses in the first place. As a 20 year old who’s at university studying mental health nursing, later on in life is pretty bleak with the fact I’ve lived here all my life and I won’t even be able to afford a home or even rent in my own area. (Link about the housing development with no affordable home being built in my area: www.yourthurrock.com/2018/10/26/approval-given-new-housing-near-lakeside/ )

Too much social housing. Work it out

Luke Sommer what do you mean by too much??? Trust me, their isn’t enough.

@@rxss6154 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_housing_in_the_United_Kingdom. Supply and demand. 55% owned by local authority. Sounds like the housing market is cornered. Do you qualify for social housing?

Luke Sommer did you ever listen in school? Never quote from Wikipedia. Actually i do, but it goes on by who needs it the most, Im not classed as needing it the most because I don’t have kids, plus the wait for a house for homelessness is disgusting. I live in social housing. However there isn’t enough of it. 50% of houses are social housing, however the government classes “affordable homes” as social housing. So the real percentages isn’t 50% because a lot of homes aren’t “real social housing” only about 5,000 homes are social rent (from the government). You need to be earning under a certain threshold to be considered. If you earn even £1 over you don’t qualify, but rent prices has been steadily going up and up, meaning people can not afford it because wages aren’t rising with it, private renting fills the gaps but doesn’t give the same security ad social renting does, there isn’t enough social houses and the market. So in reality with a starting wage of about £24,000 I don’t qualify for social housing, but I can’t afford to rent either. Read this: fullfact.org/economy/social-housing-last-30-years/

I honestly thought this would be about Hoogstraten. I quite like him personally, but I think I'm in the minority there.

Agreed. You have to take steps to protect your self as a tenant. Landlords can be bad

If you have put a 6 week deposit down. Just don't pay the last 6 week rent.

The most important things to take pics of is the gas meter and the electric meter upon departure as that is the final readings you can prove for any bill complications that may arise

I had a landlord charge us for a dresser that was already broken when I moved in lol we contested it and he obviously gave us most of our money back. We paid £550 each deposit and he only wanted to give us £100 back.

@@davecollins9075 that's illegal

Landlords in general suck

That's why we all want to believe in the God's or Karma. We want to believe that there will be moral justice for greedy creeps like this in the end. Maybe they'll both end up with severe mental/physical debilitating diseases in the end, completely dependant on others, in diapers, and being treated like the wasted air space they are. 💁😂

C d shirt. ;--)

Totally agree!

I agree.

Whoa 😮 it's his property

What a very valid point that is

Ouch. A bit hypocritical from them.

And covering up peadophiles

If it's a 6 month lease. What's the problem if the lease is up and the landlord won't renew it, also giving 2 month notice. Tenants must know they don't have no say.. i.e renting.

Spot on.

I don’t think you were paying any attention watching this. Didn’t you hear that he evicts people who pay rent and do not complain?

@@SabrinaDacosta this so called "documentary" is a hit piece. They usually aren't a reflection of reality. They just masquerade as reality and people eat it up because they want to believe it's real In reality, the most professional landlords are the largest and most experienced ones. It's not in his own self interest to evict people with no reason. You don't run a business by chasing away paying tenants. The story is often deeper And if he wants to sell his own properties, I have no right to tell him he can't, even if I'm renting a house from him. Until my name is on the deeds, it isn't my house. Having a rental agreement doesn't give me ownership

He would kick you out after 6months mate

@@BBrunnel really, though? Really? How would that affect his business if he kicked out fully paying tenants and had to replace them frequently? Landlords make money by keeping tenants happy. They do not make money by randomly evicting people for no reason, do they? This so called documentary is not about representing the facts in a balanced way. It's about envy. Maybe if people stopped envying others the world would be a bit happier. If you want to cure your envy, arrange a metting with a mortgage advisor and see how much a deposit you would need to buy a house. I'll give you an example - driving a car costs about £5,000 per year depending on how far you drive and if you have a decent car. Suppose a family gave up the car and bought ebikes instead, like I have. If you saved £5,000 per year, a deposit may be in hand sooner than you think and without changing too much in your life. Envy is easy to cure. For those who have the right heart condition

@@BBrunnel thanks for your response, what happened eventually is the landlord a senior barrister at that, was gaslighting me for over 6 months, telling me tough luck I signed the licence agreement. Eventually he employed a solicitor who put him straight. I was served a section 7. I then sued him for 3 times the amount for not putting my money in a tent deposit scheme, with my windfall I then moved out and have been happy in my new property for nearly 2 years. He's supposed to be well respected, he was nothing more than a crook.

He said he did helped a lot of people. So who are we to judge?

@@clam4597 who are we to judge?!? We are the comments section of RU-vid that's who

@@clam4597 Helped a lot of people!! At what cost, the only person he's helped is himself to all that money. How can you stick up for a money grasping c..t like that. I tell you now, this guy wouldn't piss on you in the street if you where on fire. Horrible selfish excuse for a human being.!!!!.

Owning people used to be a “business transaction” too

@@jh.christ2101 DOILEM.

Yes those Tennants were beyond APPAULING!!!

@@grazutissmith9647 are you serious? These landlords are selfish pigs. Hope they rot in hell,or better yet find a date worse than death. They both deserve it.

I know we won't agree but as long as they are doing things legally you can't do much in some cases tenants have too many rights. And land Lords are left with huge amounts of rent being owed and there places destroyed. And good luck getting anything back from the tenants.

Agreed!

Me too

Landlords don't "let you live there"....it's not some weird free charity. They advertise for people to live in a property they own in return for regular payment. It's a premium service and just like any premium service the customer expects, or should expect, a certain standard of service. I'm not sure how such an extremely simple concept has evaded you. In fairness to you, it's probably because the property laws in this country are about a century out of date.

safdsafe afsd im saying it’s not a great system but if someone owns a house then surely it is their right to sell a property if they want. All tenants know this. This guy picks his tenants, ( no benefit people etc) so basically it’s his chose who lives there so yes he does “ let you live there”

@@safdsafeafsd9592 if you have a 6 month tennacy after 6 months the landlord is perfectly within his right to ask you to leave. All of the people evicted say they didnt want to move out so i imagine they must have been happy with the quality of service.

@@safdsafeafsd9592 If you rent you dont buy. It does NOT become property of the tenant.

Everybody wants to own a house but not everyone wants to pay for one. That's why some people rent a house but pretend like they own it. I doubt these people would act any different if they were on the landlord's side tbh. Being a landlord can actually be a nightmare beacuse of entitled people who can't take care of their own lives, ask their landlord to take care of every single household problem they cause, and then just disappear at some point without paying the last months rent cause it isn't worth pursuing for the landlord. You realise keeping a house in shape is actually expensive, right?

Yes yes yes ur absolutely right 👍

So they got on the property ladder by not owning a property 😂😂

It was amazing she did this, getting people cheap housing to buy.

@@banksy3169 in the short term

@@banksy3169 Maybe , but the downside is that it took those council houses away from people who could not afford high rent prices and no new ones were built to replace them

Because of what he done not just doing

Many people consider businesses as charities. They don't see the point of business if you are not bending over backwards to make allowances for absolutely all customers. It doesn't pay in business to be horrible to people. Loyal customers help, and online reviews mean good customer service carries further than just your current customer. I'm sure I would do my best to be a kind landlord. Nonetheless, no one can afford to be a doormat. Just the same way as I wouldn't expect to live in your house rent free for months on end while blowing my cash on addictions, I don't think I could run a property business sustainably without collecting a fair rent. If someone refuses to pay, the landlord is put in a very difficult place. Does the landlord continue losing income? Or does he place the tenant in the hands of the council, by eviction? Some call that callous. "Why not just let them live rent free indefinitely?" No business can continue this way. It's unfair. Does every landlord have an obligation to pander to his tenants? You decide.

@GreenClover ditto

I agree. It’s his property, the tenants sign a tenancy agreement. Of course you’ll hedge your bets an hour with tenants who are optimally going to pay their rent on time. I see no problem with this man at all!

I like your beautiful dog avatar. Is it a German shepherd dog?

I think renting needs to gain you a stock in a house like a mortgage does. Say after 5 yrs of renting you might own 7% of the property and you can choose to sell or keep when you leave or are evicted. If you did significant damage to a propertysaid investment may be taken in the civil courts. If you end up getting 100% investment you can file a civil case to own it.

All that would be is a rent to buy scheme. Which already exist and all that happens is. You pay the normal rent price. As well as a purchase price on top of that rent. The fact is. Rent is paying to use the house. Not to own it. If you want to own it. You pay again.

@@SCP--ck5ip no. Why should a landlord with all the responsibility give you part of their business? You’re out of your mind. You aren’t owed s***.

He seemed like a fair guy

@siwuz84 Nope. Not without planning permission.

No, you're not right. You're dealing with families and their lives. It's the same when you employ people in a business - it's not the same as selling one of your machines, you have a responsibility towards your employees and the law recognises that.

Greedy property investor fucks like this drive up the prices. Fucker. This doco makes me so wild 🤬🤬🤬😡. Yuck

Wow and I thought the UK was bad 😂😂 idk anyone who's been blacklisted for renting even my sisters ex mate who didn't pay rent for a year and trashed her flat wasn't black listed

MOST people in Australia don't rent?? Where did you get that??

The more I learn about Australia, the more I feel for the people there. I, like so many others Globally, was always jealous of Aussie's and thought of Australia as the modern paradise on Earth. That illusion is long gone. Not only is Australia far from paradise, it's still a Prison Colony full of tyrannical prison guards. I realize that you guys are in the exact same position as Canada, and like Canadians are glad the truth is finally being seen about our 'nice' not-so-human countries. The BS propaganda curtain has been lifted from both our countries, and now the world will finally see the hypocrites our leaders truly are, and, the desperation we truly endure. Bless us both.

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN IN AUSTRALIA???? IS THIS BREAKING NEWS??? Lol!! I think you better check again mi amiga... There's a stealth attempt to take roofs from over beads! It's a global phenomenon. Most awake to it.

There`s always two sides to a story yes. And both sides are being heard here.

Landlords are garbage that are a drain on society, especially when they are acting as landlords

greenbrickbox yeah you want to live for free

I am a landlord in America being a landlord is a business not a charity case

@Gerr Gerring sounds good. Kick every renter out.

@@fayezentner619 no one in this video was asking for a handout. They were normal tenants who agreed to a rent increase but just wanted heat in the dead of winter. Basic human necessities.

Back in around 1997, you just had to make up a figure as your earnings, the back accepted that as your income, issued you mortgage, house price since then kept going up. You would have kept remortgaging on the equity, then put that down that as your deposit, another house in the bag. Piad only Interest as your monthly, soon the excess from rent, and more equity, ment within short period you could buy 2,3 house in one go on buy to let, on blt banks didn't ask for income as long as you had 15% deposit, which was easy for these guy. Money from excess rent + equity. These people got greedy and the system allowed them. 3 years ago osbourn made tax changes which meant pay 45% income tax on the the gross rent amount. This makes it pointless for landlords. And that's why people like this gentleman want to evict everyone and sell up. Also as a result rent price went up for everyone by about £500. I hope I've shed some knowledge.

I was just wondering that myself.

whoever mixed the sound for the episode must’ve also been related to them

I'm young, stayed single and childless to focus on someday purchasing a property so when I do start a family I have some security, unfortunately when your parents don't own a property themselves getting a mortgage is near impossible unless I have over 70,000 saved up, living in London is more expensive and just not an option to move out due to work. It's not as easy as just saving, I have 3 jobs and I get taxed over 600 and that's not including my rent money, food, electricity etc

@@diabolikalm other people manage to do it, its hard but not imposible

Landlords charge rent because they have a mortgage to pay with other expenses of the home... What part of that makes them scumbags?

@@shaneoshea5166 the mortgage is a scam as well it’s was invented by banks so they can get more money out of working class people. The way I see it housing is a human right like education he’s a millionaire there so he won’t need to pay a mortgage or he doesn’t have to pay as much as well as the others because the governments have there back because someone keeps voting conservative. They are not making money they are stealing it from people who have to work several jobs to get food on the table it’s a dishonest way of making money land belongs to the people

@@arkanstigers6007 Absolute bollocks. If it was that easy, everyone would be able to buy a house. Fact is, life in unfair and everyone is trying to make a living. You're calling the landlords scumbags... They're the ones providing housing within the circumstances that they are given. Your problem isn't with the landlords it's with the banks and whether you like it or not there is absolutely nothing you can do to change that outcome. It takes years of saving and living well within your means to be able to get a good mortgage. The problem why most people can't afford their own is because they spend too much and don't save enough. Being a landlord isn't easy and a lot of work has to be put into it as if you're not careful you can end up bankrupt and that's not good for anyone. My point is; whether you like it or not. Banks & mortgages are a thing. That's not the landlords fault. If someones got a mortgage and they rent their building out; fact is they need their money. Once that mortgage is paid off no one gets to live for free and it'd be stupid to allow people to live in your property free. Rich people don't become rich by being stupid.

@@shaneoshea5166 without mortgages it would be without landlords it would be, why are you sympathising with people who do not care about you who will kick you out at your lowest and have no shame

@@williamwilson6499 Congrats! Thanks for catching that for me! I appreciate you thinking I'm a genius, we all make mistakes. Even geniuses :)

right, but at their age, they dont need the constant stress

so they have minimum lease lengths there of how long? when homes are put up as collateral for huge numbers provided by a bank, that bank requires unencumbered access to the property clear of any legal disputes. nothing should interfere with the lawful right to do with one’s property what they wish. would be interesting to know how SA banks deal with sitting tenants if not by the existence of short leases in SA which leads to uncertainty for tenants.

It doesn’t solve the problem at all since the issue is their yearly renewed leases are up hence the minimum 2 months notice since the landlord wants to sell asap. Nothing illegal here except lack of empathy in not choosing to give tenants a little more notice especially those living alone or with kids.

Same. In the end it is their home.

God bless the USA.. here in finland they have to give you atleast 4v to move if you get evicted..

Even in 2023 you would think this and many other issues would be a thing of the past, here in Florida. The rents have skyrocketed to an eye, watering amount, yet pay is not going up, a studio apartment, starting at 2500 a month and you only make 800 a month, 🤷‍♀️I am so sorry for what you had to go through, it truly unsettled your foundation, truly hard to be a happy mom raising happy kids when you’re going through it all, I hope you’ve found peace, or at least peace around the corner🙏🏻🙏🏻💕

Roboko - In a free market prices will find there correct level London House prices cannot be to high , as if they were people could not afford to buy them and they would fall to a level where they would sell . But Government interference can distort things by offering help to people who could not afford to buy over wise they are pushing the prices up as more people are now chasing the same number of properties . By regulating the Banks and telling them how much they can lend to residential purchasers it means buy to let investors ( like me) can borrow and buy and some first time buyers can't , a investor will let the property so reducing the number of houses in the sales market so pushing the prices up, also high prices for residential homes should mean that developer's would convert other types of buildings into homes Planning rules often stop this . Basically the more the government listen to people whinning about the free market and interfere the worse the problem will get .

Not just London everywhere

True 👍🏾

Public housing? You mean someone else pay? Again, you’re responsible for your housing not the government or a landlord.

As someone who, briefly, studied the issue at A-level through geography landlords have all the power. If rent prices go up but your income didn't any you can't afford the region anymore, you are out of a job and a home. This has occurred in London before (don't have the location, can't remember the case study so I don't mind if you are doubtful but if not trust me)

Totally agree. If it is legal, then everyone who has to move, needs to have sufficient funds to move out.

All the people moaning about selling his houses and retire I hope when they come to retire they're not allowed because people want them to carry on working

Landlords are some of the worst human parasites in existence. Massive rent control and house price caps, and massive taxation on empty properties are the way to go. Brits were willing to shut down the country and strap nappies to their faces because of a flu, so why not be as extreme in reaction to the housing affordability crisis?

G. V. Quinn there’s a huge percentage of people that would watch this video and just take the directors narrative on who is right and who is wrong. And so, in my opinion, the video is misleading people.

It's very typical to paint successful people as tyrants and vicious to the "average working person." Fergus didn't wake up one day with a rental empire. He worked for it and earned it on his own merit. Why does he have to paint himself into corners with unsavory tenants, people who clearly cannot afford to rent? Having been a landlord a long time, I will tell you a landlord will NOT evict a good tenant. They're incredibly difficult to find. He's liquidating and moving people out. Otherwise, I'm sure the good tenants would have remained in a lease.

He's not retiring, osbourn bought in a law high end tax on the gross rent, 2018. 45%. Which is another reason why rent went up so much. It would have made sense to just tax people on what landlords made as profit not on the gross rent. This is the reason landlord want to sell up.

They are not giving their goods or services away…neither is this landlord. He is no different to Amazon or Apple or Asda. He wants to be paid for what he offers. He isn’t evil. He is a businessman. Just like so many others. If you’d rather live in a communist society, feel free. That is the great thing about democracy and capitalism - you have that choice. You wouldn’t have that choice in a communist society.

Rental agreement ends and you have to go - No you dont, it goes from fixed to periodic

And where is that, if I may ask?

How can you praise him for what he's doing when you're renting yourself? People like him are the reason there's a homeless problem in the UK

@@preparetoholdyourcolour7080 Im not praising him but he has a right to sell his homes doesnt he are u potty or what wow.

Thank u for comments. Renting is just that, save save save

Not rocket science 😂

Change your mindset. Ruthless has nothing to do with it and who are you to count another man’s pennies? You don’t know what him and his family “needs”, and more importantly you should mind your own needs going forward as this man has been from day one. On suing. The law operates on principle. There is either a case to be heard or there isn’t. If he is pulling a fast one a judge will sort it. It’s not an emotional issue. Owning is owning, renting is renting - these are two different things in reality, in economic theory, in terms of legal positioning, and so on. Absolutely nothing to see here.

@@b1ueocean Aren't you judging the situation? Who are you to judge it? He has more than pennies, he's worth about £200m and he wanted that info in the public domain. Even if they lose, I'm sure they will use a crowdfunding site to get the debt paid off. He's a bully.

They’re just bad people. Idiots can excuse this shit all they like, but the fact remains that if you rent to someone and decide to sell, the buyer is the one who gets the tenant. You sell you sell, but the tenant already paid a deposit and rent. They stay. Why should a sale of a rental effect the renter? Lease is lease and they should get to finish the lease legally regardless of ownership.

@@j.ericsandoval566 Rent is paid on a monthly basis; it's not paid up front for the full length of the lease. And, deposits are returned to tenants if they haven't caused any damage to their Landlord's property and don't owe any rent. UK law allows an owner to sell up when they want to and that's an important component of capitalism. If owner's have to transfer tenants then less people will invest or rent out properties in the UK.

Ruthless but right 😂he ain't a charity man

Landlords are a bad thing, we are reaching the point where mortgages are cheaper than renting but they own all the properties and lives with it.

You are spot on. When a landlord buys to let, their end game is crystal clear- cashflow , pay mortgage and hopefully capital growth- all while doing their social bit. What's wrong with that? The anti Landlord whiners forget: money has been invested( not cheap ), Mortgage lenders( don't care), Credit agency dont care why you can't pay, there's a good number of piss takers- they simply never pay full rent or not all and not on time. And Laws takes upto 6 months to resolve even that section 21! Sometimes ( I've been through this) the tenant stops paying! Total mess! So it begs the question- if I own something why have I got no right to sell it? And with 2 months notice? Give landlord's a break. Always the stopgap!

Before I left the UK I was living in a large flat had a wonderful landlord very friendly very accommodating if ever there was a repair needed he would be there to fix it straight away if ever had a cash flow problem he understood give his tenants a bit of time usually based on the deposit all was good in fact ever since I left the family home at 17 I moved around a bit usually because previous places was shit but the flat I had with this landlord that was one of my longest rentals as the landlord took care of his tenants respect worked both ways I lived in one place before I think I rented for about 4 months before I told the agency I wanted my deposit back and told them to go fuck themselves because after a story. That dumped so much rain the street got flooded knee high blown some of the electrics the landlord pretty much did fuck all he got the lights back on and that was about it and the place starting to smell very bad thankfully I was on first floor so no water inside but the dodgy electrics and the stench nah wasn't gonna tolerate that And my very first flat was nice at first until winter came no heating because the Gas Heater was deemed unfit for use landlord again did nothing thank fuck I didn't have to pay a deposit because I would of lost that because of his selfishness to fix the heating But all in all it landlords play fair give respect they get respect it works. Both ways

Thanks for sharing all you say comes from my way of thinking.

@@Slicks21 Do you realise how difficult it is to get planning permission especially in nutrient neutrality areas? There’s a reason a handful of big developers dominate the new build market.

A business has more than one stakeholder.

@@mintywebb it doesn't have to

That sounds like a very good idea! Stephen Macclesfield, UK

@@stephenhardy312 no it doesn't. I'm a tenant but I think the Landlord deserves to be the one calling the shots. They own the house after all.

And that’s why they have skid row and endemic homelessness. If you introduce anti landlord legislation there are fewer properties to rent.

imagine boot licking this hard and being proud of it lmao

Imagine having no agency and no money, i.e., you.

hope you get serious desease and no one helps you since money means nothing in the end
