After all, apparently we are now a minority. The fact that the CM wants to swamp us even more is, from my viewpoint, absolutely disgraceful. No thank you. The island has been swarmed since the Viking periods with foreigners. Why should it change now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s absolute rubbish. Rent over here normally includes rates. Do flats in England include Council Tax and the separate water rates in the rental price?

In my experience anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the Westmorland Village thread. Only the nursing home is brownfield, the rest the MDC have crept out of scope to buy privately owned land. Proper brownfield development would be supported. Also imposing stupid Ideas like 15 minute cities to justify lack of parking is greenist nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume that you do not include the council tax that the tenant has to pay when they rent across. The more deprived the location ( I.e cheaper rents ) the higher it is as there are less people paying it.. Most tenants here in the IOM don't have to pay the rates as the landlord usually pays it. This also covers water and sewerage fews as well. I helped a family member rent a flat in tye North of England and while the headline rent was lower than over here by around £200 , the council tax / water / sewerage etc ended up well over 100 odd pounds per month. Was close to £150 if I'm not wrong . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
