Hello, Good luck with your build. To overcome this uncertainty approach your trusted EPC assessor and obtain a projection with different systems. I always pay for such prior to renovations. My choice as always is heat only boiler with cylinder...
My approach would be to stay away from the homeless tenant without a job and no deposit. They have the greatness need for support but I am not skilled enough to handle the issues they come with. Those who might...
Be prepared to learn from your bad experiences, that is why many landlords stay clear of this sector of the market. It requires specialist skills to deal with the issues the tenants create and to meet their extra needs. You...
Interestingly, a slightly more cautious approach can still obtain dramatic results. Imagine if that £100k from 25 years ago is converted into £6m. If you could leave, in several years time, £5m to your children if they can also multiply...

Every since the RLA merged with the former Southern Landlords the organisations liberalism has become predominant. If it represents the interests of its members is now questionable. Political policies by government and pressure groups need challenging with the realities of...

Dear Mark, Your valued service seems to be under attack by the HMRC use of its anti avoidance provisions. Such provisions seem to be drafted to replace the reasoned case law with the new focus being on the loss of...
This is a most useful starting point for some calculations. It could work on the capital value of individual self contained houses, which are usually based on market value, but those who run multi let units will sometimes have the...
