Pity poor truck drivers--once again they get it in the neck. In a survey conducted by Halifax Landlord Insurance (who'd want to insure a Landlord...? Beats me) 1,000 UK landlords were asked to give the characteristics of their most desirable tenant. And it seems that truck drivers aren't exactly flavour of the month,. I don't see why? After all as a group they're hardly ever home! According to the survey, which comes to Biglorryblog via www.homemove.co.uk the perfect tenant is a female medical practictioner aged 36-45, living in London (and presumably with a mole on her left thigh...)
In terms of preferred tenants by profession, GPs topped the poll at 24% while perversely, nurses or carers found favour with only 9% of all Landlords questioned. But least agreeable careers as far as 'Mr Good Tenant' is concerned are HGV drivers, with 19% of landlords opposed to this group.followed by taxi drivers and traffic wardens at a15% each. Well I can understand that last lot anyway And speaking of truck drivers that bloke above looks pretty dodgy---I certainly wouldn't have him as a tenant! Don't you agree?
Mind you, I'd like to have seen the survey of HGV drivers in which they were asked who was their least desirable person to share a cab with. Wonder where Landlords would come on the list......? So who would you NOT like to share a cab with?
