Reply to the comment left by Dan Trivedi at 29/01/2019 - 07:28What about the strategy of underwriting for 100k knowing you are prepared to pay up to 110k. This would allow someone to bid up to 120k at auction on...
Hi Ian. Thanks for the reply. I live in Wales now but my rentals are still in the Basingstoke area. Yes, I would love to meet up next time I am up there, Farnborough is only just up the road....
Reply to the comment left by Muhammad Ali at 28/02/2018 - 00:01Thanks. I was having similar thoughts to option 3 but wasn’t sure because of the 12 month minimum. Either way it seems unfair to me as they have already...
Rob, thanks. The thought had crossed my mind. A couple of areas where they have breached is not performing annual inspections as detailed in their TOB and (to my mind) a significant delay in reporting storm damage to me recently,...
Indeed Rob, they are saying that they would 'limit' the fees to a maximum of 12 months + 2 months as notice. They want a total of 14 months worth of fees but only provide 2 months management for that....

Reply to the comment left by Neil Patterson at 09/08/2017 - 10:43Thanks, but we successfully evicted this tenant in February this year. He is now doing the same at another property that belongs to someone else. André
Too little too late as far as I'm concerned. They left us paying the price so now they can. Plenty of gainfully employed tenants out there that will pass reference checks and allow me to take out rent guarantee insurance....
We have a property where a mother allowed her 16 year old son to smash every door in the property (13 interior doors and 2 UPVC external doors, punch and kick holes in most of the dry lined walls, allow...
So, for example, if a tenant has complained that there is little to no hot water pressure in the property and when the heating contractor attends the property, the tenant refuses access. Is this a situation where the LL can...
