Hi Frankly Thanks for putting the above first hand information that you had on joining the course. It makes an interesting read. It also explains the various (small) things affecting the EPC negatively or positively that assessors neither bother to...

Anyone who can suggest a good assessor/ contractor to improve the EPC FROM D to C?

Are you sure the property that improved to c, will remain c under the new yardstick of assessing EPC, which is yet to be evolved

So what is the fate of the properties, currently in D, F category? Some possible to improve to C, others, Either to be bought by the owner occupiers & the ones that can’t be improved - to be demolished?

Quite an interesting reading for me. I am in a similar situation. Only one property now. Main problem for me is EPC, which is currently category D ( since 2022. Boiler was replaced in 2021 that still kept it within...

Puts more fear of legislation in the minds of accidental LLs as they already feel vulnerable at the hands of Rogue Tenants ( who can hold accidental LLs to ransom) & the courts together acting vehemently against the LLs ,...

He is blind & deaf to what Is happening on the ground. As I read comments in Property 118, several small LLs are talking about exiting, including myself, for reasons of harsher civil penalties and court passing high fines and...

I am in 100% agreement with the article. I am one of those landlords who is frightened of the civil penalties (up to £40000) that could bankrupt a landlord with 1-2 properties. Only the corporate landlords can survive who can...

I have not read all the comments. I see that your relationships weren’t too bad with the tenant in question. If you are in contact with the tenant & you want peace of mind, just negotiate with him/ her &...

Simply Disgusting.. If Any LL with 1-2 properties happens to get a hefty fine from council for a minor paperwork mistake is going to kill a poor LL. Selling up is not a mistake anymore, although that may also entail...

I donot see anything for London Borough of Hounslow in the List downloaded. Is there more than or list longer than BARNET post codes?

Hi Michael Curiosity! Learning point! Did the number of properties you let out had any bearing on their decision. Why did you have to tell them that you’re a landlord to get your own home insured?

I am also puzzled at their discretion to decide the validity of the EICR for three or five year. In 2001 I was given a 10 year validity on the report. But not anymore. Just three years. LL are at...
