Hi Tony, I am looking at buying an ex-local authority one bedroom flat (48 square metres) in London. Structurally it is fine and has new doubleglazing - but needs a complete renovation inside - new bathroom, kitchen, floors, electrics etc....
Hi John, I'm sure you didn't mean any offence by it and it was entirely subconscious - as these things often are - but just pointing out that you do seem to suggest that being single and being a woman...

Reply to the comment left by "Sunny Rsa" at "06/01/2016 - 14:16": How on earth is this "no fault" of the landlords?? The flat was not cleaned, had someone else's stuff in it, no gas or electricity, no smoke alarm,...

I find it extraordinary that you need to ask. Give the poor bloke back his money and compensation for stuffing him around so much. The tenant hasn't capriciously changed his mind - you didn't provide him with safe, clean and...
I think I'm being thick here - but noting the changes in the dividend tax I can't work out how it's better to sit in a company? ie I get that you pay the lower tax of 20% and get...
Name of MP contacted via email/letter. Matthew Pennycook 2. Constituency of the MP. Greenwich 3. Date(s) letters/emails sent. 4 August 4. Whether you have spoken to the MP face-to-face and/or made an appointment to see him/her in their surgery. Nope
I don't know the details of this - but from what I know I am extremely surprised by the judgement. Contractual ambiguity should of course always be construed against the author of the contract and in any case I agree...

Obviously this is a mock up - but I think that there definitely are cases where problems of mould etc are because of "structural" problems with the house that the landlord should fix. I am obsessive about cleanliness and I...
Are rolling tenants not a problem with mortgage conditions? Both of my buy-to-let mortgages state that I can't have a tenancy for greater than 12 months??

Yes I'm a bit mystified why the poster feels justified to be upset and annoyed? The lease seems to quite clearly state that you are not allowed to have a pet unless the landlord gives written consent - that does...
Dress it up how you like - assuming that there is a clause in your buy to let mortgage that you can't live there, this is clear cut, black and white fraud. There may be a small risk of this...
As a landlord I would expect the tenant to let me know and for me to pay for it - I assume there is a police report etc so if I did decide to make an insurance claim I could...
