Wandsworth are introducing Additional Licensing for HMOs throughout the whole borough, and Selective Licensing in 4 wards. Their aim they say is "to create a fairer private rented sector", with no explanation as to how taking large sums of money...

In my experience joint tenants usually pool their rent money and make a single payment for the rent each month, although it sounds as though yours have been paying their rent individually. Normally the AST Agreement states that the named...

There are many questions and lots of answers about the S21 process on this website, so I suggest you do some research. To the right of your question the first item under Popular Discussions is "Council advice to tenants nearing...

Some agents like to pretend that tenants, who you have already paid them to find, are "theirs" for as long as they stay in your property, and even if they buy it from you! They thus expect commission on the...

I let a property in the same area and have a good agent there. They don't offer the service you describe - simply letting it - I use them for full management. I agree that agent's contracts tend to be...

I think you're clutching at straws. If your mortgage agreement says there's an early repayment charge of £3k then they will insist that you pay it, the change in interest rates is irrelevant. Read your mortgage conditions carefully, you might...

This thread is relevant for you: https://www.property118.com/online-guarantor/ Essentially most landlords are looking for a UK employed homeowner as guarantor, and expect the guarantee to continue as long as the tenant remains in their property. But of course each landlord decides...
