Overview

 

During my period of property development from, 86' to approx 03' save a family smallholding, I was quite heavily involved with Brian McShane who was instrumental and influential in the development in modifications to the 2000/01 amendments to the 1988 Housing Act, to which I seemed to have an integral and influential role. Indeed I was embroiled in several landlord/tenant legal battles that played an important role in the questions pertaining at the time, surrounding 'landlord/tenant' rights. This was largely due to joint ventures with Brian, my apparent ability to force action through regardless of obstacles and his eagerness to soak up my views and benefit by learning from the effects of such activity, and I think more importantly prepared to stand shoulder to shoulder with me.

Sadly; Brian Mcshane passed away in 2002. He will always be a 'good friend' much missed and always remembered.

The Landlords won the thrust of the arguments, but the tenants also enjoyed an equal measure of success.

"I feel a much more balanced framework now exists".

I still manage the above smallholding on behalf of my family in Scotland which requires little, if any, activity, but it keeps my 'hand in' as it were, but I otherwise have disconnected through ill health.
