We had the same issue Ground Rent increasing every 10 years based on inflation. We brough a flat in 2012 and our Solicitors warned us against buying the flat. We still went ahead anyway as it was a nice flat...

I think they are decent tenants just maybe naive ones. The fence issue is looks like it goes against what is permitted in the plans. More of a problem with the dog will be with the new downstairs neighbours who...

Thats a good point and there is no clause on pets in the lease. Another issue it was an open garden and the tenant has put a fence up. I did say to the tenant you can do anything to...

Reply to the comment left by Dylan Morris at 24/06/2021 - 10:25I had thought I was not allowed to advertise no Pets looks like I was wrong. The TA does have a clause requesting permission for pets. No idea what...

There is a clause asking for written permission in the TA. The flat isn't suitable for pets. Once the downstairs occupants move in then I think they may have an issue. They have already modified the garden to accommodate the...

Reply to the comment left by Dylan Morris at 07/04/2021 - 10:34Thanks Dylan for the reply. If inflation is high then will lose out as its either minimum of £250 or if inflation increases are higher then will be more...

Reply to the comment left by Dylan Morris at 05/04/2021 - 12:04I got a mortgage. Thanks for the responses. I think it definitely worth keeping I may try again to buy the freehold but will this be much more expensive...

Reply to the comment left by Laura Delow at 05/04/2021 - 10:14I understand the reforms only affect leases going forward and those that need to renew the lease so may not help ? Our lease has 990 years left.

Reply to the comment left by Dylan Morris at 05/04/2021 - 10:12It will become unsaleable in future but may not be a factor. We did know about the Ground Rent when we brought the flat and the solicitor had told...

Reply to the comment left by Parvez Hemnani at 05/04/2021 - 10:09Thank you for your reply. Yes I am probably overthinking. The Yield is great and hope the flat stays in generations for ever.

If the amount has been agreed between leaseholder and freeholder where the lease is less than 80 years and only lawyers selected then maybe in the leaseholder interest to delay the lease extension until it become law or maybe renegotiate...

Thanks for the replies. Just to provide an update the tenants have agreed to move out 31st July which we have in writing but the issue now is the buyer who may feel two months is too long. Possibly issues...

Thanks for the link. Yes we gave the notice pre-covid-19 but then told them to stay until this is over. Now the buyer is ready we are now concerned not just from our point of view but the buyers too...

Reply to the comment left by Jessie Jones at 23/05/2020 - 09:49In hindsight we should have taken steps to get the house vacated before selling. I don't like the idea of paying the tenants to move out but may have...
