Given where things stand, waiting for the court decision in August probably makes sense; as others have said, issuing a S8/S21 would potentially assist the case of those dwelling in your house. However, having appropriately experienced legal guidance is almost...

You have an interesting case in that based on what others far more knowledgeable have said before on this forum, you potentially have an HMO (unintentional or otherwise), and if you don't have a license where one is necessary, you...

Is the agent registered with UKALA or something similar? If so, maybe they can assist you.

This calculator should help you get a good idea of the ballpark they will be in and if they aren't you can ask them to justify why - https://abi.bcis.co.uk Having your own loss adjuster as Fiona Wilks has said above...

This should be a prompt for all those who've not already done so to register their interest for the properties they own on the Land Registry, so they are alerted of any enquiries made regarding the property. I am not...

On a slight tangent, if you have one, I would check with any mortgage lender whether this is OK with them.

Being rather blunt, why concern yourself with £42? The tenants you have found a replacement for the one who pulled out, which is an indicator that they understand taking responsibility, which is great start.

Be careful lobbing what you cut off back over the wall,, as contrary to common belief, it can be considered, in the eyes of the law, littering. Why not ask if you can get a quote for the work and...

Playing the devil's advocate, what about charging battery-assisted bicycles that are legal and many are getting? Phones and other electronic devices also have chargeable batteries... Charging Lithium batteries has its problems, and so do charged ones (hence you have to...

If you have such a good relationship with the tenants, it might be worth pointing out that privately owned ones can only be used on private land with the owner's consent. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/powered-transporters/information-sheet-guidance-on-powered-transporters I've heard unverified stories that when the police...

That's a fine pickle to be in and one we all face from time to time. A few thoughts that you may have already been through: Did the tenant put in writing to you they were going to vacate on...

Hello Jon No insult or slight was intended, it was simply stirring the pot by giving a perspective. The time taken to seek clarity, that may never completely arrive, (some say CO monitors are only required where solid fuel burners...

If you take a high-level view of this it sounds like you are looking to save money rather than protect your tenants. A few extra pounds to have linked, mains powered detectors (heat in the kitchen, smoke elsewhere) installed demonstrates...

Your gut instinct is important and it's giving you conflicting guidance, otherwise you wouldn't have posted here. Gut instinct alone is not a sound thing to base your business on. Having a 6-month rent payment upfront, may ring cannabis farm...

Taking a slightly different view of this, you have a tenant(s) that look after the place and behave well. Some might say these are gold dust. You want to evict them to have new tenants move in and increase the...

That does sound like a bit of a challenge. Thoughts that immediately come to mind are, as above, have you spoken to NHBC and if it's a design flaw, other flats with the same layout will also be affected, knock...

Lisa, maybe it is time to ask yourself a question, is this property actually meant to be mine, or is all this hassle guiding me toward finding another one as there is another property that will be better for me?...

That is quite a pickle, you must be feeling very anxious Lisa. As Lindsay mentioned, there is (always) an answer, it comes down to two things, time and competence. Maybe to get an idea of the time involved in resolving...

You make a good point Sponge Bob. What happens if the agent goes out of business? Would this give the tenant latitude to delay any legal processes? Not looking for an answer as the exact circumstances leading up to the...
