Great idea, I'm in. Mike

I've read that if a tenant gives you notice and then doesn't move out, they have no legal right to remain, and they can actually owe you double rent for the time they remain. Have a look at this post...

Like you Rebecca I have some listed buildings and have been following the recent developments. For anybody else interested it is well worth downloading the Gov. guide linked in Neil's reply. The nightmare is that we DO now have to...

Thanks Bill. Yes I have heard PIV fans are brilliant so it's good to hear another positive (no pun intended) opinion of them. However, in this case as a listed building we still have open fireplaces and sash windows so...

Many thanks to all for your helpful comments. Completely agree that hoods that just recirculate are a waste of time. Building control not involved (just replacing existing kitchen which has no ventilation). Yes have already fitted a fan in the...

I had this problem in an old damp house in the country (not tenanted !) for years and tried all sorts of so called cures. The only thing that worked for me was' Insectrol', an aerosol spray made by Rentokil...

As HB says your strongest argument is that of misdescription. The deal was not on the premises as you weren't physically there were you, however I've just read Tessa Shepperson's Landlord Law newsletter from this week. In this she explains...

I am inclined to agree with HB. Time to stop being nice and polite! If you don't get a reasonable response in the next few days send a letter by recorded post. Demand repayment of the FULL amount you have...

This looks very unreasonable to me. Given that you agreed to the terms of the holding deposit by signing their documents then presumably they can legally hold you to that. But if you really did get back to them within...

gary is correct, the regulations for NEW installations changed mid 2015 to metal rather than plastic consumers units, but that doesn't mean that existing ones have to be replaced. Also, strictly speaking I don't think you need to have a...

Reply to the comment left by "Des Dixon" at "28/12/2015 - 17:21": Look's like you are on the right track with these heaters. They would cost no more to run than the electric boiler type system as neither run on...

Hi Des. As Sharon says electric heating is far better now.But when I did some comparative sums about 18 months ago, even with super efficient electric heating (heat store etc..) gas was still considerably cheaper per unit of heat produced...

Yes Robert, you are correct that is what I meant- but I didn't get around to replying to Mark's comment as it did make me laugh at the thought an accountant getting in a muddle ! I guess we will...

Reply to the comment left by "Mark Alexander" at "16/11/2015 - 12:53": Yes Mark, I agree that if you don't have a capital gains issue, transferring to a Ltd Co would probably be a more flexible option. And depending on...

This seems very interesting as sharia mortgages are open to everyone not just muslims. I just did a quick google search and it seems there are several different forms. Under the diminishing Musharaka plan for instance you buy a 10...

Reply to the comment left by "Oren Paynton" at "20/07/2015 - 11:32": Just to concur with Oren, both English Heritage and The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) favour secondary glazing as a good alternative to double glazing....

It seems that listed buildings are not required to have an EPC so anybody out there with let property which is listed may not have to worry about this. However, it is not completely clear cut and a quick check...

Hi Beverly, just to add to Neil's comments, check your lease carefully. If you are on a full repairing and insuring lease it would be normal for you to be responsible for maintaining everything within your part of the building,...

Hi Jonathan. This is a good question to ask and it can be tricky. We have a couple of properties with oil heating. As Tony says the gauges are not very accurate. We aim to hand over to new tenants...
