Bit worried you got a 'home loss payment' in the CPO, considering you weren't living there. Normally you will only qualify if you actually are resident.

With the revenge eviction law, you won't be able to evict for 6 months after the receipt of the council notice. You can then issue a notice after that period has elapsed, so the earliest you can get them out...

The worry is that lenders would force landlords to sell or put them through a margin call. It's all in the T&Cs - lenders can call mortgages in any time.

Look also very carefully at if they might be eligible for housing benefit - you may be able to estimate yourself based on your knowledge of their situation with the online calculators available. Many people will tell you never to...

Careful on the value of the properties - if they are greater than £500k on aquisition, from 1st April 2016 properties in the higher tax bands will attract the "Annual Tax on Enveloped Properties" if they're not let out (I...

I genuinely think a default "yes" position on this would help to improve tenant's attitude towards renting. Also - it's possible to obtain tax relief on maintenance now. Repaint the place afterwards and you can reduce your tax bill. It's...

Reply to the comment left by "Richard York" at "17/11/2015 - 12:24": Might also be worth saying that the landlord here said he was going to fit his own fan as a replacement. I wonder if he also fitted the...

Might be worth pointing out that: The US, Japan and Spain allows full interest reduction for OO (up to a certain allowance) - so you can't really compare these. The "playing field" between OOs and owner occupiers is the same....

I'm no lawyer, but sounds more like you're after a short leasehold flat/house. In exchange for a fairly hefty lump sum to the freeholder, you'd gain all the rights you're after and a lease would be created. It could even...

Reply to the comment left by "Charles King - Barrister-At-Law" at "30/10/2015 - 11:58": Appreciate the candour from Charles, and I didn't realise that is how it worked - I would add one point. Whilst not banning holding deposits (which...

Reply to the comment left by "Anna Ag" at "30/10/2015 - 07:56": Absolutely - which is why the holding deposit really is a bit of a grey area. In the majority of cases a tenant dropping out will not be...

"He shows aggression, poor communication and a rude attitude treating me like his servant etc." I don't condone being rude, but I do think realising he is a paying customer is important. "Recently he refuses to make phone or applications...
