I feel for her, I'm also in the unenviable position of having to work out how to protect a vulnerable disabled family member although I've not gone down the pathway of setting up a trust because I found it too...

No way would I want to lose control over my property, certainly not for that long. Who knows what legal changes will take place during that time. Like you, the probable loss of S21 has put me off and I'm...

If it's in your own name, can't see a problem. I've moved between a few properties I've also let, never any issues. Not sure of the situation if it's in a ltd company or if you have a mortgage though....

Also, I discovered, it's not two months as some have 31 days .

It's not all bad, we were left some lovely mid-centuary dining chairs which we still use.

Does the tenant know the noise is keeping you awake? Could you swap rooms with her so she only keeps herself awake with the noise from the pipes? If the situation is making you ill, maybe you are not the...

What a horrible situation for you and the tenant, I hope you find a solution soon, I have no advice. On the face of it this shows how hard it has become to be a LL. Over the last 45...

This person recently bought the flat so, does that mean the sellers left their share of the kitty behind specifically for these repairs and there's not been a cost to the new owner yet? We've had similar issues. We had...

Yes, Trevor Leigh, totally agree with you there. It's the approach we're taking at home and in terms of comfort and energy use it's working when we compare energy consumption from year to year.

Your EPC should state exactly what you need to do and give scores for each improvement. Ours is pretty useless though as advises solar panels but fails to understand the roof faces the wrong way. My son's house needs external...

As above, we had a very unpleasent person move into the block and no longer wanted the hassle and abuse. It costs a bit more but the block management company does everything. Worth every penny.

Presumably this is a house not a flat? Anything attached to the ceiling will need anchoring into a joist and in a flat it might be that the joists belong to the flat above or the freeholder. if it's a...

Good luck with this. We've recently been in a similar position, one leaseholder who felt they shouldn't need to pay towards roof repairs. If we'd carried on informally, just fixed the issue immediately while we had a trusted builder and...

Personally, and I'm no expert, I'd expect the seller to sort it all out and offer you a single freehold dwelling. Maybe the involvement of a company makes it difficult for the seller/s economically, but I'd think that's their problem...

I have claimed CA and had rental property for years, up until when I got my OAP and my partner took on the caring role and claimed CA on his early retirement. At one point I had two places, although...

I'd possibly think more about whether or not this would pose a fire hazard on a main escape route, what does your Fire Assessment do to address this as a risk. I'd also take advice about how you can deal...

I think your issue might be that if your son does want to buy his own place and still has an interest in the property he'll have to pay an extra 3% SDLT on top of whatever he would otherwise...

I discovered some of my tenants had a large dog, I was never consulted. It never ever caused mess or damage and was always friendly when I met it. HOWEVER due to the dog the tenants refused access to workmen...

Reply to the comment left by Luke P at 06/01/2020 - 11:31We bought a flat to live in and it literally took years to get rid of the fleas the previous elderly ladys cat left behind. I'm an animal lover...
