The issues you mention are now written into the law; i.e passed by Parliament and given Royal Assent. However, there is another stage because Government hasn’t issued a Commencement Order yet. Until they decide to do that, the law doesn’t...

Reply to the comment left by T C at 22/01/2025 - 13:35Rent is consideration, even if it hasn't been paid when the contract is signed.

Reply to the comment left by Keith Wellburn at 22/01/2025 - 09:47Similar situation here. I regularly take overseas workers as tenants such as bankers or oversears students coming over for a year or two. They don't have suitable referencing and...

In my experience, it depends on the memorandum and articles of association. They should set out the appointment process for new directors. Simply getting hold of the companies house code doesn’t give anyone the right to appoint directors, unless it...

I wouldn't think contract law applies here, as it is a fee for a licence, not a payment for goods or services. Seems to me they shouldn't change the fee in force when you applied, unless you just applied early...

Strange that the council is willing to evict the tenants and then reassure them it will help them find new homes. Surely the responsible thing to do if they care at all would be to take ownership of those properties...

If you use high court bailiffs, which are private, they attend promptly after the eviction notice expires.

My advice is to think about how you would go about the garage roof repair if you were living there. You can then take that idea to the tenant for agreement. It isn't unusual to have to conduct a repair...

I may be being dense here. I understand Shelter is talking about the people evicted, but when they say that adds to homelessness, I wonder about their statistics. Surely an eviction leads to an empty property and someone else moves...

I look forward to Bristol proposing mortgage interest controls alongside rent controls.

I would advise you to file the court papers at the earliest opportunity as the process can take some time. From my own experience, I would also ask the court as part of the repossession judgement for permission to go...

Watch out if you leave the property empty for over 2 years as councils can charge you an empty home premium - increasing the council tax dramatically.

Like others, I have found the EPC mark varies from one assessment to another for identical properties. That means one assessor's C is another's D and vice versa. That has pretty severe consequences once the legislation kicks in. Also, even...

The story confuses two issues. Right to buy was a great social leveller. It gave people, like the woman in the story, the chance to own her own home for the first time. That has nothing to do with council/...

I would simply be honest and explain that your letting agent has lost the original and that you have therefore had the tenant sign a copy. This can't be too unusual as people lose documents all the time and they...

I notice is that the tenant can possibly make this agreement with Virgin provided the tenancy is at least a year and you have allowed them to have internet installed (para 4). Like you, I would be wary about signing...

I think you are right Adrian. The biggest issue is liability insurance, which isn't sold as a stand alone product for landlords who are leaseholders. That means you are entirely dependent on the freeholder's policy if a tenant makes a...

Like others, I have found that a court decision is not sufficient as a former tenant may simply ignore the court order. However, I have found that applying to the court for a third party debt order can be very...

The findings are not surprising. It is also an option for sellers to invest in getting a property up to C to make it attractive to landlords as well as homeowners. The boundary between EPC categories is unfortunately variable in...

In my experience, the main thing is to act quickly by issuing notices to tenants as soon as the conditions are met. You can always withdraw a notice, but if you haven't issued it, you can't take legal action. Obviously...
