The LHA expert is Managing Director of the Castledene Group, John Paul, whose knowledge of the Local Housing Allowance system is sought by Landlords and letting agents from around the country.
After a tenant received Housing Benefit direct and didn’t pay their rent, John decided to gain an insight into the workings of the Housing Benefit system and studied the appropriate housing legislation and guidance.
Within months John was getting paid direct on all his properties, putting into practice all what he had previously learnt.
Now running a successful lettings company and getting paid direct on over 98% of all Housing benefit cases, the Castledene staff have put in practice the knowledge and systems John is well known for in the property industry, with unrivalled results.
“LHA used to be an unknown quantity. If some councils do not know how it works then how are letting agents or landlords. The rules are out there, its just a matter of sifting through the legal jargon and systemising it”
John has written a very comprehensive e-book entitled, “LHA and how to make it work for you”. In it he discusses:-
- How low a claimants income can be
- Getting paid housing benefit on two homes
- Getting paid direct
- How to beat overpayments
- Getting paid direct after 4 weeks NOT 8 weeks
- Backdating
- How to get paid in 14 days
Updated to include the changes in April 2011, this e-book has saved landlords literally thousands of pounds
As a regular speaker at networking events, John openly shares his secrets for success, not only on LHA but also on his property investing strategy. John walks the walk and as a successful property investor and businessman you can rest assured the advice that he gives actually works.
