What are you thinking of compensating them for, loss of hot water out of the tap ? They have heating and an electric shower. And you've given them a hot water urn to use. I can't see they have suffered...

Here's a thought if anybody can help with the tax situation please. I know I can't offset against CGT my £3k mortgage redemption penalty. But can I claim it as an expense against my rental income this tax year ?

There's been this speculation of increasing CGT rates in line with income tax since Labour came to power two years ago and it never goes away. Will it happen ? Quite likely in my view, they're that stupid. Anyway I've...

Well I've got C rated properties (already got cavity wall insulation) and if Gov't insists I fit solar panels or heat pumps to retain the C rating they can take a running jump. I'll just sell them.

"The government has announced all private rented properties will need to meet EPC C targets by 2030". They can announce whatever they like but their words are meaningless until this is passed in law. And it hasn't.

Also remember in the example given the purchaser is forking out a deposit of £75,000 plus stamp duty of £3,700 for a First Buyer (or £6,200 if not FTB). And there's legal costs of say £1,500.

I'm not interested whatsoever in housing the homeless. It's not my job and not the section of the rental market that I choose to operate in. No doubt my "choice" will soon be classed as "discrimination". And people who don't...

I’ve got 2 rental flats in large modern developments around 100 flats in each site, height between 3 and 4 floors. No way can I install solar panels or heat pumps. Currently C rated EPC, there are electric panel heaters....

My two rental flats are in large developments. One on first floor and the other third floor. Impossible to install chargers. So tenants will have to queue up at the Asda down the road and hope one of the two...
