Hi, Aside from the issue of being over priced. If the house isn’t capable of being lived in, it should be removed from the council tax list and therefore the council tax bill will be zero, there is a good...
Hi David, Had this exact same problem. Everything depends on your lease. Check it first or have a leasehold specialist check it. My spaces were demised and the lease had no provision for extra monitoring. Lots of us got tickets,...
Hi Peter, I read your draft last night, it’s an interesting read. Unfortunately, whilst I see what the chealsa have done. I think you’ll struggle to gain traction with the masses. I wish you all the luck in the world...
Hi Peter, I wholeheartedly understand your point, I quite believe that 750,000 people have been over charged. But how many of those 750,000 have been repossessed, and of those that have been repossessed how many were only 8 weeks in...
Hi Peter, You sound incredibly passionate and I agree with your point. The trouble is, I, like many others reconcile my mortgages and year end. They are usually spot on, the odd penny here and there. Even if they are...
Hi Peter, I wish you the best of luck and I’ve absolutely no doubt something is a miss with the some banks. It’s very difficult to understand what your end game is. Are you looking for financial redress of some...

Hi Peter, I’m fascinated by this, excuse my ignorance but surely there was an amount of money you could pay to stop the repossession. You could have then sued for breach of contract after? Is there some background to the...
Hi Peter, I’ve actually had a very similar argument with a lender recently. My payment didn’t get collected by DD (my fault) on the last day of the month (a Friday), I paid this by bank transfer on the same...
Initiative Q is an attempt by ex-PayPal guys to create a new payment system instead of credit cards that were designed in the 1950s. The system uses its own currency, the Q, and to get people to start using the...
Hi, I've had this too, what they mean is the tenant cant claim council tax credit on two properties. The tenant was in possession of two properties at the same time and is liable for the council tax on both...
I have a great solicitor who deals with most things like this for me. A quick Google search brings up plenty. I've found a letter from a specialist has a lot impact than what I can do myself. You do...
That's a pain, I stand corrected. There is legal protection for minority shareholders though. One thing is for sure, without accounts and breakdowns I wouldn't pay a penny.
Hi, I've only have a brief read through this, I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned it, if you own 2 or more leasehold flats on one freehold title you only get one leasehold vote. So if they own 4...
Hi, This is a great example, I am starting to see a theme, most people with portfolio's that seem to be hardest hit, work full time as being a landlord. Isn't it time we got this recognised as a business...
Hi, I run short term lets, this is a problem we face weekly. Firstly you need to clean, it needs to be really clean, get the carpets professionally cleaned if you have carpets, you also need to wipe down the...
Hi, I'm also a short term Lettings landlord, finance is difficult and usually a breach of standard buy to let mortgage conditions, that also means paying higher interest rates. with regards to living with your tenants, personally I'd chose not...
