HMO Licences Set to Relieve Student Housing Crisis

By News Editor 6 years ago

New approved HMO licenses open more options for students in St Andrews.

Within the last six years, hundreds of HMO licences have been approved in St Andrews, despite the introduction of a moratorium in 2011 which aims to reduce such proceedings, by limiting the number of properties eligible for HMO licences within a certain conservation area. Abbreviated from “houses of multiple occupation;” HMO licences are required in St Andrews for a house to be let to more than two residents who are unrelated.

Affordable, private student housing is notoriously difficult to procure in St Andrews – especially in the town centre where demand is highest.

Second year student, Esther Leonard, expressed her struggle to secure a property when she recalled, “we booked a viewing two days after listings were released. We turned up and it had already been given to the group who saw the property ten minutes before us.”

Similar experiences are far from uncommon among such house-hunters, leading to large proportions of students opting to remain in halls compared to other British universities.

The increase in HMO licences will mean that a significantly larger number of students will be able to find private housing in the coming year. This coincides with the diminishing availability of cheaper university accommodation; whilst Andrew Melville Hall is set to be closed for the next year at least, there are also alleged plans to scrap Albany Park. With these plans in place, the student housing crisis will be in even greater need of imminent solutions, especially for less wealthy students for whom the pricier halls are unaffordable.

However, not all locals are pleased with the prospect of increased student properties across the town. Earlier this year, Fife residents voiced objections, claiming that HMO licence plans could potentially turn the town into “one vast campus”. There are also fears that competition will render it much harder for local residents and families to rent properties within the town centre.

Nevertheless, the increasing demand for student housing continues to be problematic. Local letting agencies have begun to release property listings for the coming academic year; for instance, Stonehouse Letting have already published two lists, advertising a greater number of accommodations than in previous years. Viewings for all 28 properties were requested within the next 10 hours, as posted on their Facebook page.

With house-hunting season commencing, students are  rushing to contract accommodation before they all go. However, with an increased number of HMO licences in the picture, there is hope that the frenzy will conclude in more students securing private accommodation in convenient locations than in previous years.

    Flirt.com is a scam
    Hi all, got scammed by this website. Saw that there were a couple of post informing about this but just wanted to give more details
    Paid for the three day offer and with the confirmation of the subscription, got two mails from hornycontacts.com and loveaholics.com asking me to confirm my email. Didn’t pay attention and deleted them.
    I immediately canceled the subscription in flirt.com without any issue and on the last day it changed to a standard membership so since it was bs site, cancelled the account as well.
    So I was happy and watching a movie when I got an sms from my card provider telling me that I got a 71.78 euros charge from fry frtlsp.com. Never heard of them, so I called my card provider and cancelled my card and will request the return of the money as well.
    Then I realized that maybe these two websites also by some miracle signed me up to a paid subscription… so I logged in… had to recover the passwords because they were not the one I used in flirt.com… and surprise, loveaholics.com did signed me up for a paid subscription without me being aware (pretty sure that somewhere during the signing process in flirt there was something checked and didn’t pay attention.). So I had to cancel subscription and account in these two other sites.
    So, sorry for the long post but in summary…. do not use flirt.com at all!!!
    Yes, FLIRT.COM it is a scamming website. It sign you on multiple websites like askme4date.com . It bombard you with emails that you receive messages, and you need to pay to see them. After you pay you see the messages. All messages are from BOTS. No real person.
    It’s subscribing to automatic renewal and it’s hard to cancel renewal. They push you to a complicated scheme. I’m not even sure the renewal canceling works. After

  241. 주식신용
    로드스탁과 레버리지 방식의 스탁: 투자의 참신한 분야

    로드스탁을 통해 제공하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 주식 시장의 투자법의 한 방법으로, 큰 이익율을 목적으로 하는 투자자들에게 유혹적인 선택입니다. 레버리지 사용을 이용하는 이 방법은 투자자들이 자신의 자본을 초과하는 투자금을 투자할 수 있도록 하여, 증권 장에서 더 큰 작용을 가질 수 있는 방법을 제공합니다.

    레버리지 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 스탁은 원칙적으로 투자금을 대여하여 투자하는 방법입니다. 예를 들어, 100만 원의 자금으로 1,000만 원 상당의 주식을 취득할 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 일반적인 자본보다 훨씬 더 많은 주식을 사들여, 증권 가격이 올라갈 경우 상응하는 더 큰 수익을 얻을 수 있게 합니다. 그렇지만, 증권 가격이 내려갈 경우에는 그 피해 또한 커질 수 있으므로, 레버리지를 사용할 때는 신중해야 합니다.

    투자 전략과 레버리지
    레버리지는 특히 성장 잠재력이 상당한 사업체에 투입할 때 유용합니다. 이러한 기업에 큰 비중으로 적용하면, 성공적일 경우 큰 수익을 얻을 수 있지만, 반대의 경우 큰 리스크도 감수해야. 그렇기 때문에, 투자하는 사람은 자신의 위험 관리 능력을 가진 시장 분석을 통해, 어느 사업체에 얼마만큼의 자본을 투입할지 결정해야 합니다.

    레버리지 사용의 이점과 위험성
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 높은 이익을 약속하지만, 그만큼 상당한 위험도 수반합니다. 주식 장의 변동은 예상이 어렵기 때문에, 레버리지 사용을 이용할 때는 항상 시장 경향을 면밀히 살펴보고, 손해를 최소로 줄일 수 있는 방법을 마련해야 합니다.

    결론: 세심한 선택이 필요
    로드스탁을 통해 제공된 레버리지 스탁은 막강한 투자 수단이며, 적당히 활용하면 큰 수입을 가져다줄 수 있습니다. 그렇지만 높은 위험성도 생각해 봐야 하며, 투자 결정이 충분한 정보와 조심스러운 고려 후에 실시되어야 합니다. 투자하는 사람의 금융 상황, 리스크 감수 능력, 그리고 장터 상황을 고려한 균형 잡힌 투자 전략이 중요하며.
