Given that it says the ownership stays with the original owner then presumably they remain liable for all repairs and EPC type upgrades - and potentially liable for prosecution if the repairs / upgrades are not done. Its a great...

So if you get a property back to sell - and then the sale falls through - you cannot relet for 12 months, so the council can grab the property during that fallow period. Presumably as you are still the...

There are significant numbers of properties in some parts of the country that are currently below EPC-C largely due to the method of construction (typically solid brick or stone walls). Without significant changes to the EPC rating system, an exception...
