I have 3 rental properties. One is already sold (STC). The other 2 will be as the tenants move out. It really isnt worth the risk, aggravation or time anymore. I can get within £50 per month in a savings account without all the red tape and worry.

Personally, I would knock on next door and ask to see for yourself. It might be a really easy fix. Tenant next door may even give you his landlords details so you can call him yourself to address the issue....

Hi TJP. The best plan of action is to visit them and ask what they intend to do before you go any further. Your next move will be based on what they tell you. If they DO want to stay,...

Lets be clear here. If any of us were stupid enough to accept tenants from the council. Who do you think they would send us? Mr & Mrs Nice-No trouble OR Mr or Mrs Constant problem? They will off load...

I would go speak to the tenant. Tell them what's going on your end. Tell them you need to sell. Offer to sell to them. Find out what their intentions are. They might tell you they intend to move out...

Reply to Kizzy. Although the will DID include provision for his friend. The final agreement was written up to comply with the inheritance act as if it had not. I am not worried about the agreement. She can live there...

For context. My fathers original will was written up by a "Specialist solicitor" that included his wishes to house his friend. However, the rest of the will turned out to be very vague and lacking much detail. The original solicitor...

Hi Mark. You do not have to pay for a licence you don't need anymore. I am sure that the council will re contact you at some point, by which time you should be able to prove the property is...

The truth is that the deposit was returned. So put deposit returned on the form. Hopefully she has documents or bank statements to prove it was returned. Why leave yourself at risk of making a false declaration?
