Option 3 - Get a mortgage on a freehold property, and never have to worry about rapacious landlords or freeholders again

Freehold doesn't mean you are free from the clutches of a property management group / housing association who tell you what colour your door has to be, etc.

Mortgage debt is cheap, landlords are chunts.

Do the math.

Or the smart choice - keep renting but get 911 997

It does if you live anywhere proper.

I'd argue a £1m flat at Tower Bridge / Catherine Docks is 'proper'.

Is it bigger than shoebox?

Maybe more than £1m... large bedroom, proper sitting room, big kitchen. Posh apartment rather than flat (not mine obviously)

When I lived in london the landlord (or rather his agent) tried to put our rent up every year. Out of the 6 years I think we refused on 4 occasions and the landlord backed down. The other 2 occasions we agreed to a 2-3% increase. Agent was just trying for more commission and the landlord wasnt bothered. If you are good tenants it will almost always be better for the landlord to keep you at the same rent than pay another agents finders fee.
