Extension on top of the flat

10th October 2015, 11 years ago

You can apply for planning without the landowner's owner's consent, but you must inform them. But there is no point. To actually build it you must get the landowner's consent. In your case you need to put your proposal to...

Crystal Ball anyone ?

4th February 2015, 11 years ago

Personally I would not use an endowment to pay the mortgage. BTL interest only on £40K is so cheap, definitely sub £100 a month, fixed for years! It's never been that cheap! Ok, this not professional advice but in your...

Tenant Request for Advice and Help

24th January 2015, 11 years ago

I have no issues with dogs at all. However, I load the deposit and charge a premium for animals in the rent. I always explain to the tenant why there is a premium. Bigger the dog, bigger the premium;)

Reply to the comment left by "Mark Alexander" at "23/01/2015 - 12:38": Sounds wierd. I agree with Mark totally. As a landlord I would not seek to evict you for this, far from it. Perhaps the landlord wants the building...

Can I get a discount on the rent?

23rd January 2015, 11 years ago

Move to a better house and better landlord. As professional landlords we would never treat you like this. We would have offered some compensation for sure or alternative accommodation. I have even sent a tenant on a paid holiday before...

The End Game

23rd July 2014, 12 years ago

Depends on your dependents if you have any to a massive extent. I have a few so I have a limited company and will gift my kids shares as I get older. If I had no dependents I would leave...

Reply to the comment left by "Mark Alexander" at "14/06/2014 - 10:03": It is swings and roundabouts. At the time it was set up (10 years ago) I was married and had IHT issues running into 7 digits! I would...

I have exactly your proposed setup. How I did it was I set up a limited company and moved one unit across. I used both mine and my wife's CGT allowance in order to over the gain in value. You...

I agree with AG, everyone here wishes they started earlier! Property is guaranteed get rich. It is just not quick and most people get bored waiting, so starting early is the trick. You can't own property in the UK until...

I totally agree with you. I have been to Japan and seen the future, the kids get the next gadget, bike, handbag and go out. They have no aspirations to own. For them rent is just a fixed overhead to...

I am with Tony. There really is a split. Being the opportunist, every time a residential unit vacates I am re-accessing. For example my massive Victorian 1/2 beds are being converted to 2/3 beds, before I would not have bothered....
