#323Expat Property Story · The twice-weekly UK property podcast for remote investorsIf you're a UK landlord managing properties from overseas, you'll already know the Renters' Rights Act has changed the landscape.Section 21 is gone.The grounds for ending a tenancy are narrower, the notice periods are longer, and getting referencing wrong from the start is a far more expensive mistake than it used to be.My guest today is Samantha Powell. Samantha has been in the industry for over thirteen years and is founder of MoveWorks — an independent property management agency covering England and Wales. ExpatPropertyStory.comCheck out our shorts on YouTubeOur WhatsApp  groupProperty Engine discounts (Code: EXPAT)Starter: 30 day trialPro: 30 day trial/3 mths 1/2 price, Ultimate: 1/2 price 3

that were already doing things properly, the Renters' Rights Act hasn't required a wholesale overhaul.The bigger difference is the stakes.With Section 21 abolished, there is no longer a straightforward route to ending a tenancy without grounds.That means the decision about who moves into a property in the first place matters far more than it used to.Samantha's view: if your agent wasn't being thorough about referencing before the Act, the Act hasn't suddenly made them thorough.It has, however, made the cost of their carelessness much higher for you as a landlord. What to Demand from Your Agent on ReferencingSamantha's agency uses a system called GoodLord for all referencing, tenancy agreements, and terms of business.GoodLord has significantly tightened its referencing criteria in line with the Act.Credit checks are more detailed, salary verification is more rigorous, and — critically — one of the primary routes for financial verification now links directly to the applicant's bank account.That bank-link verification makes fraudulent applications considerably harder to get through.AI-generated fake references were passing checks at many agencies a year before the Act came in.Ask your agent specifically how they are catching fraudulent applications — not just whether they reference tenants, but how. The Guarantor Product: A Solution to the Affordability GapThe standard referencing threshold is 30 times the monthly rent in annual income.For many tenants in the current cost-of-living environment, that bar is too high.GoodLord has introduced its own company guarantor product: tenants who fall short of the income threshold can pay a fee for GoodLord to act as their guarantor, provided they pass certain checks.It is an alternative to either rejecting a good tenant outright or accepting one without adequate financial protection. Section 13 Rent Increases: Start Earlier Than You ThinkUnder the Renters' Rights Act, rent increases now require two months' notice rather than one.Samantha's team has adapted by starting the rent review process significantly earlier, gathering comparable evidence and seeking agreement from both parties well ahead of the notice deadline.The process itself hasn't become more complicated, but the timeline has lengthened.If your agent is still operating on a one-month cycle for rent increases, they are not compliant. The Two-Month Tenant Notice Period: Actually Better for LandlordsA concern many landlords raise is that tenants can now give two months' notice to leave at any point.Samantha's reframe is worth considering: under the old periodic tenancy arrangement, tenants could leave on one month's notice.Two months is an improvement in planning time, not a reduction.In practice, the cost and effort of moving — deposit, referencing, removal costs — means tenants give notice only when they genuinely need to go.Samantha has seen one case: a doctor on a short-term hospital contract.That is a genuine reason to leave, and as a landlord you can factor that risk in at the selection stage.Rent and Legal Protection Insurance: Now a Near-EssentialWith Section 21 gone, pursuing a tenant who won't leave or won't pay requires going through the courts under Section 8.That process is slower and more expensive than it used to be.Samantha recommends rent and legal protection insurance as a standard measure for any landlord post-Act.The cost is between £24 and £46 per tenancy per month, depending on the rent level and the policy provider.Some policies can be taken out mid-tenancy.For context, a contested Section 8 eviction can run to thousands of pounds in legal fees before it concludes.Managing Properties Nationwide Without Being LocalMoveWorks covers England and Wales — from Sunderland to Hull, across Manchester, Liverpool, Salford and Warrington, into Wales, and now expanding into London.Samantha's view on remote management is direct: the team and systems matter more than proximity.Key safes, local clerks, trusted contractors on a vetted panel, and local viewing agents mean a property can be accessed and attended to quickly regardless of where the head office is.The rule she applies before taking on a new area: if she doesn't already have people she trusts there, she won't take the business on.That discipline is worth asking about when appointing any agent who claims national coverage.The Fire in the Block of FlatsOne of Samantha's managed blocks in Newcastle-under-Lyme had a fire.A tenant's extractor fan caught fire while cooking.When the fire brigade arrived, they found a block where every check had been completed on schedule: AOV ventilation system checks, emergency lighting, fire door checks on communal doors quarterly and flat doors annually, a fire logbook in a fire box on site, annual fire risk assessments, and tenants briefed on fire safety at move-in and annually thereafter.The fire was contained to one kitchen.Nobody was hurt.The fire brigade left satisfied.Samantha's point: without those checks, the outcome could have been very different.Who Is Liable When Something Goes Wrong?The short answer: the landlord.The longer answer: the agent, if they have claimed to have done checks that were not actually done.Samantha is clear that a landlord cannot be forced to carry out compliance works — an agent can advise, remind, and recommend, but cannot compel.If a landlord receives a fire door inspection report showing failures and does nothing with it, that responsibility sits with the landlord.If an agent claims to have carried out an inspection and did not, liability shifts toward the agent.The practical implication: ask your agent for evidence of every check, regularly and in writing.How to Check Your Agent Is Doing the Job from Thousands of Miles AwayAsk for proof.A fire door check report, an up-to-date EICR, a gas safety certificate, an inspection report with photographs — any of these should be produced without hesitation.If an agent stalls, hedges, or cannot produce documentation for checks they claim to have completed, that is your answer.

In this episode, Jill welcomes Samantha Powell, whose career journey is one many will relate to. Samantha began her working life in banking, seeking the security and stability of a traditional career path. However, she discovered that the corporate world left her creatively unfulfilled. What followed was an honest exploration through various roles as she searched for that elusive sweet spot—work that both pays the bills and feeds her creative spirit. Has Samantha found her perfect career? She's not entirely sure—but rather than settling, she's actively upskilling and keeping her options open.  It's a candid conversation about the reality of modern careers: they're rarely linear, and sometimes the journey matters more than the destination.

Today we open with news from over the weekend of the fall of the USAID. Elon Musk and the DOGE team have rammed a dagger into the very heart of the monetary beast of the Deep State. There was and still is much wailing and gnashing of teeth over it. What's amazing is how the Legacy/mainstream media still can't figure out how to derail Trump and his agenda. We spend time looking at all we've learned about the slush fund that is the USAID and how it has roots going back for years as a front for off-the-books intelligence operations. But, it looks like those tactics and operations were also used inside the United States against we the people. There are ties to COVID-19, and to Bill “The Kickball Kid” Kristol and the Episcopal Bishop who tried to personally scold Trump. The Deep State is trying to figure out how to still “leak” information to their willing accomplices in the Legacy/mainstream media without getting caught. Musk's response is simply to say, “When in doubt, you are out.” JD Vance described the tariff situation perfectly over the weekend. And, while the Democrats tried to demonize the move and use their same old “fear porn” playbook, their antics turn into curdled milk left in the hot sun. The Panamanian President has already acquiesced, saying they are going to fix the Panama Canal issue, Pierre Poilievre demonstrates how pathetic Trudeau has been and continues to be and Margaret Brennan gets embarrassed again on her Sunday show. The perfect capstone to the hypocrisy of the Left, after their long DNC meeting where they show us they have learned nothing, decide to elect two white males to lead them into the next election cycle – one of them being the soy boy lightweight himself, David Hogg. I truly hope they never figure out what they keep doing wrong, because I still haven't gotten tired of winning.

Follow Tia and her team on their journey of discovering meaningful employment for Tia, driven by her interests. Tia's journey began with a desire to ensure her post-school life was not dominated by screens and solitude. She had an interest in fashion, design, and modelling. Her team explored this interest with her and tested creative methods of designing that didn't involve sketching or drawing. As a result of this process, Tia has created her successful fashion label, Funk N Soul 97, and has become a runway model. In this presentation, Tia walks us through every step of creating her Polynesian-inspired fashion ranges to show the unique ways she works. You will learn about the support Tia received along the way how Tia's business is structured to be sustainable, and how you can get started on your own Microenterprise journey.

Meet Gina SemiGina is a hairdresser by trade and has owned her salon for seven years. She could see that there were no suitable employment options for her daughter, Tia. Local service providers did not offer the support Tia needed to reach her goals. So Gina started building connections with other like-minded parents and working with Tia to discover what work would look like for her. When the Valued Lives Microenterprise Project was born, Gina worked there in a volunteer capacity. During this time, she started building Tia's business and supported others to do the same. Gina now works as an Innovative Employment Advisor and helps people to fulfil their employment goals. Meet Samantha PowellSamantha is a West Aussie with a lifetime of experience in disability.

THE THESIS: When one of the most infamous, leftist academics sees that Trump represents threat to the ruling class, it's becoming ever more clear it is Us Vs. The Party.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Jeremiah 5:26-31 26 “Among my people are the wicked     who lie in wait like men who snare birds     and like those who set traps to catch people. 27 Like cages full of birds,     their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful 28     and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit;     they do not seek justice. They do not promote the case of the fatherless;     they do not defend the just cause of the poor. 29 Should I not punish them for this?”     declares the Lord. “Should I not avenge myself     on such a nation as this?   30 “A horrible and shocking thing     has happened in the land: 31 The prophets prophesy lies,     the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way.     But what will you do in the end? THE NEWS & COMMENT: [AUDIO] - Joe Biden just called President Trump “a horrible plague.” -- Reminder: Biden ran on uniting the country. [AUDIO] - Noam Chomsky, in an interview this week, says "fortunately" there is "one Western statesman of stature" who is pushing for a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine rather than looking for ways to fuel and prolong it. "His name is Donald J. Trump," Chomsky says [AUDIO] - Biden official Samantha Powell discusses the massive shortage of fertilizer. Her take: starving your family will be worth it cuz... climate change. [AUDIO] -  Bill Gates - Calling for a full time Pandemic Team of 3000 people at the cost of $1 Billion per year to stop future outbreaks! [AUDIO] - Conservative MP Dane Lloyd grills the Canadian Anti-Hate Network over false claims that a photo of an anti-Semitic flyer was taken at the Freedom Convoy protest. [AUDIO] -  Mayorkas won't name 1 domestic terror, White supremacy case referred to DOJ . . . “Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., pressed Mayorkas for data on any referrals he has made to the DOJ on the grounds of domestic terrorism. Mayorkas did not offer the data, saying he would provide it after the hearing.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The fish are getting bigger!  Samantha Powell joins us for a wild night in Vermont in episode 1.18, “Caroline and the Ex-Wife”!  Grab a frosty Snapple (or Fruitopia, we don’t judge) and your best flammable windbreaker as we discuss Dollar Store Tony Danza, the dubious origins of Jamba Juice, Six Feet Under: Passaic, and acceptable lengths to go for a really good cheesesteak.  We’re all friends of Mariska here!

For Samantha Powell, the pressure to be the perfect adult felt like a stranglehold. But this all changed with “Bridget Jones’s Diary.” The movie loosened the grip of perfectionism, and taught her she didn’t need to be flawless to be happy.

This week on Speed Dial, Doreen's out and Ira is hanging out with Samantha Powell (@sdpowell1). The pair talk Vogue, Kendall, fashion twitter, Simone Biles, gender swaps in Hollywood remakes, *and* they answer listener questions. 

Happy Fourth of July! We celebrated in the most American way we know how: unrelenting capitalism. Join your hosts @maurae and @lafergs along with guest @sdpowell1 to discuss the glorious train wreck that was the Dawson's Creek spin-off, Coca-Cola Presents Young Americans (full title necessary for proper viewing experience). This episode accidentally features product placement for Stamps.com, Friendly's, and obviously, Pepsi (maybe Coca-Cola, too, although only briefly). If any of these brands would like us to promote their products in a more professional way, like Charlie Hunnam's career after this show, please contact us.
