I think paragraphs 2.233 to 2.235 offer a degree of common sense clarification (or attempt at) to the proposals, in terms of tenants being allowed to seek a landlord's PERMISSION to sub-let, and ensuring that landlords always have to CONSIDER...
This scenario is interesting as I have a family of three in one property even though it is let in the name of a sole tenant, which sounds similar to Bianca’s situation. I did query the above with the tenant...
Thanks to you all and apologies once again for the delay. I'm home again now with a fully functioning broadband. The Land Registry plan is indeed very clear so I'm not anticipating any serious opposition in principle. I think though,...

Reply to the comment left by "John Daley" at "19/02/2014 - 11:07": Thanks John. Very sound advice. I will contact the neighbour when I get back home and ask to bring a representative from the managing agent with me as...
Reply to the comment left by "Jeremy Smith" at "16/02/2014 - 19:31": Hi Jeremy. Apologies for the late response. I'm away currently with only a temperamental mobile broadband dongle for support. The neighbour acquired his property sometime mid-late 2013. He...
Thanks for that Joe. The disputing neighbour is an oil man, I suspect, as he's referring to soil samples and the like. Likewise my geologist friend is in the same line. I may call David Powell for a chat and...
Good point. I had a slightly hysterical email from the neighbour about an hour ago making claims, contra-claims and threats, so will need to tread cautiously. Unfortunately I think I will indeed need to engage with solicitors, surveyors and possibly...

Reply to the comment left by "Jeremy Smith" at "14/02/2014 - 18:21": Interesting thought. The garden is pretty small though for putting much more in it. I think he'll back off now though as he's already spent quite a lot...
Reply to the comment left by "All BankersAreBarstewards Smith" at "14/02/2014 - 16:50": That does sound a very sensible approach. I'll only be doing what he did, but properly. I'm not actually sure if he moved my own concrete posts...
Reply to the comment left by "All BankersAreBarstewards Smith" at "14/02/2014 - 16:32": I did approach one many years ago (twice) in slightly different circumstances and he went out of his way to dissuade me from engaging him, as he...
Some more good suggestions coming in since my last post. I've just tried the Google street view satellite facility but notice that the large tree two doors away is obscuring all the neighbouring gardens from the air, as they are...

Reply to the comment left by "Andy Bell" at "06/02/2014 - 12:22": I'd be tempted to attend in person, space permitting. There has always been spare capacity at meetings of the PAC that I have attended in the past.
Reply to the comment left by "David Ellis" at "04/02/2014 - 22:56": That suggests that WB has just imposed an arbitrary date of September 2013 for its assessment of us all. Therefore, if my wife and I NOW take out...
Reply to the comment left by "David Ellis" at "04/02/2014 - 22:14": Thanks David. That poses an interesting thought in my mind. On the basis of what WB told you (and us too) it seems to be suggesting that it...
I thought I’d take the opportunity to update everyone on my own progress, culminating in West Brom FINALLY admitting to us that it made the wrong decision in our case. Its letter dated 30 January 2014, collected from the local...
On a related issue to that of pure ageism, I experienced a similar prejudice when dropping by a branch of my residential mortgage provider who were offering competitive BTL deals for the first time (this was when the West Bromwich...
