Good to read there is still a human element to HMRC! Well done they could have said “sorry you’ll have to hire an accountant”. Lest there is some good news in the world of tax.

I would try going after the tenant for this cost even if there is 0 chance of recovering the money. CCJ if issued won’t cost much but would stop a nasty tenant renting from the PRS so please help out...

You need to take a view from a risk perspective rather than nitty gritty of collection of cash and meeting, pain in the arse etc... The RRA has tipped the risk profile. So simple mitigations for all PRS landlords... 1)...

Good article here is my approach... >Still won't use an agent as I like self management, and depend more on Openrent than "finders fee" as I want to vet them personally rather than relay on agents judgment. >Securing rent guarantee...

This shows the gap that most people rely on solicitors to fill the void of calculating the correct tax due, when it's not the solicitors job, it a tax advisor. At the highest level of government her head should roll,...

I thought there are 3 points which stops this from working. 1) You need to live in the property for at least 6 months before applying for consent to let. 2) It’s only temporary permission i.e. a few years if...

The first thing which you don’t mention is if the lease is inside or outside the LTA1954. I can only assume it’s not as there is no mention of the tenant serving a S26. Either was it’s common practice for...

If you were self managing and they have been good tenants but just “forgot” to clean oven I would let it go however since you are paying for an agent’s services they on the other hand should know better and...

Nice line up and would be interested however isn't it a bit premature? Surly it makes sense to hold this after the final stages and its ready for Royal Assent. There is still time for amendments and no timeline on...

Put in controls for arrangement fees and interest with BTL leaders and then we might consider it. No didn't think so! Whilst you're at put in controls for holiday company's charging extortion prices outside term time. No didn't think so...

The amount of times we see posts on here whereby someone has purchased with tenants in situ and their conveyancer has failed to collect/pass on the required documents. As Graham has hinted try and obtain these documents as you will...
