Painting your buy-to-let property

Landlords that paint the brick work of their property ought to be hung! Brick it beautiful, its natural, its historic and it ages gracefully like a good wine.

Nothing saddens me more than when you look down a lovely uniform Victorian terrace street to see it broken by a series of ugly DIY modifications, the most brutal being to paint the lovely brick exterior. Its wrong - the perpetrators should be halled in front of a local court to account for their actions. I always feel sorry for the neighbours. Having frequently spent time and effort in restoring or upgrading their residential property in a sympathetic way, all that effort can be undone by an unthoughtful act.

The most annoying things is that do the perpetrators not realise in the misguided madness they are slashing thousands off the value of their property which serves them right, but when it impacts on a neighbour such as one of my investments I have no redress!

I think these idiots should be forced to pay damages to the owners of the neighbouring property or even better, lets put them in stock and let the neighbours have the satisfaction of giving them a good old fashioned pelting with the out of date contents of our fridges!
