Hi DSR In 2013 I had same. Tenants and Virgin Media wanted me to sign one of these wayleave forms. I was sceptical but (rightly or wrongly) I ended up signing it. I have heard nothing further or had any...

Hi Wendy Good to hear you got a result! You mention out of court settlement, but was there any ruling or otherwise etc that could be used by others as ‘case law’? Councils are still trying to maintain that even...

Re Mark A’s (and other landlords) grievances... I accept ur points, but do wonder (or rather hope) that NRLA were playing devils advocate by trying to embarrass the govt in to logically treating landlords (whether “inc”, non “inc” or FHL...

Reply to the comment left by Yvonne Francis at 03/01/2021 - 16:58No probs Yvonne. Like yourself, over recent years I’ve also had no choice but to have the term "additional HMO” on the brain a bit, thanks to licensing. I...

Thanks David. Yes that’s right, I didn’t say 2 households form an HMO. But apologies Yvonne, my wording was perhaps a little misleading. Re the Estoppel, yes you are correct in my case it didn’t go to court / FtT,...

With regards to ‘additional’ HMO licensing, the council officials I’ve spoken to were very clear on what they choose to define as separate households (ie 2 unrelated tenants are 2 households etc regardless of whether they had been living cohesively...

Yes entirely depends on where Pamela’s property is. Where my properties are (few London boroughs), 3 ‘households’ in a 2 bed flat is undoubtedly an ‘additional’ HMO requiring a license.

Reply to the comment left by Mark Hulbert at 19/09/2020 - 23:55Am not an ‘additional’ HMO expert, more of an additional HMO victim, so others may be able to advise more accurately, but yes I would imagine so

I finally joined the RLA a year or so ago. In terms of benefits, as well as marginally reduced deposit protection costs as mentioned by others, I’ve found using their tenancy agreements, HMRC tax investigation insurance and advice line particularly...

Yes I agree LVW4. If govt had said from start: ‘Hey guys... great news, home owners and landlords are able to defer payments (effectively get a small additional loan from their existing lenders) to assist them’ it would have provided...

Reply to the comment left by Luke Roxberg at 28/02/2020 - 13:13AFAIK Brent’s ‘selective’ scheme was selective and *not* borough wide, unlike their ‘additional’ licensing scheme, which most certainly was (and is) borough wide. I’m hoping that someone can prove...

Unless anyone can advise otherwise, although the ‘selective’ licensing scheme may or may not be renewed, Brent’s borough wide ‘additional’ HMO scheme which has recently been renewed for another 5 years is still valid? To give an example, even a...
