Have a read through this. If the tenant posted the keys through your address and then you went to look and jt was empty then it could amount to an offer of surrender, which you could then accept or refuse....
We don’t even know yet how the new style EPC’s using the Home Energy Model (HEM) will work. So landlords are being told they need to get their properties up to standard by 2028 but the criteria by which they...
I’ve always taken rent and deposit a couple of days in advance of the tenancy starting as then I could get all the paperwork ready for signing together on the day. If you can still take the deposit payment in...
I did have this once. I can’t remember what the reason was, possibly something to do with their affordability calculation’s for their client. Not really anything to do with the landlord and I refused. If Labour does bring in rent...

New rates don’t apply if you have already exchanged. It’s in the budget small print bottom of page 49. I should have exchanged by now but solicitor went missing for 3 weeks so my bill has increased by £8.5k. Unfair...
I think agreements involving property generally have to be a deed with some exceptions I.e. tenancy agreement which is not a deed. But ending a tenancy early should technically be via a deed. An email exchange even if it says...
You can end the tenancy early by express surrender where both parties agree. Strictly speaking it should be done via deed if you are going by the legislation, which I think is in the Law of Property Act 1925. Whether...
The EPC will need to be worth the paper it’s written on first. At the moment it’s meaningless. Therefore to say you can’t let out a property on the basis of the flawed document is nonsense.
I don’t know if it’s different in Scotland but in England you can apply for direct payments if tenant is more than two months in arrears or one month in arrears that has accrued over several months. As part of...
Having read the opinion of Felicity Cullen, and also the comments of Dan Neidle on her opinion, I am convinced Dan Neidle does not have the grasp of the technical aspects of this that he thinks he does. The fact...
