Am I being fleeced on EICR?

8th September 2024, 2 years ago

EICRs are the biggest rip off invented. They are an open checkbook to electricians who will nearly always find a failure in order to generate work and once a very questionable failure is given you are stuffed. It is about...

Agree about rogue electricians. At the most a non compliant consumer unit just because it does not meet the latest regulation i.e usually because it is plastic, should be a C3 but many a time it is given a C2...

Referencing agency missed CCJ?

20th February 2024, 2 years ago

Tenant referencing is totally useless in my experience. Referencing agencies just do not thoroughly check things. Landlords will give a good reference as the only recourse to get rid of a bad tenant. The whole thing needs to be sorted...

S21 expiry date?

17th November 2023, 2 years ago

Thanks for your comments on the S21 notice dates. I must say there seems to be total confusion with this issue so thanks to David who seems to know the change that was made in 2015.

Let's face it, sadly the country is in a state of serious decline brought on by these sort of issues and caused by moronic government policies, MPs and authority officials. A terrible decline of a once great nation.

Yes sorry a bit of a flippant response, I'm sure agents do a great job. In my view though a landlord should not be in the business if not absolutely familiar with the rules and regulations.

Why on earth use an agent, just advertise with an online agent and pay no management fee. What do they do anyway.

I rented to a Czech Republic family with similar outcome. Watch it they are all on social media groups advising each other.

This rental reform bill is without doubt the worst thing that could happen to the PRS. I can see an even bigger exodus of landlords this time around. I have had rental properties for 20 years and have sold all...

RogueTenantRegister.co.uk – feasibility?

24th February 2022, 4 years ago

The referencing system is useless, I have had a tenant falsify bank statements which the referencing agents did not detect. How can a landlord give a bad reference if you want to get rid of a tenant.

Electric Boiler tripping off RCD?

8th February 2022, 4 years ago

Sorry on second thoughts if it is a boiler rather than a water heater it will probably need a new heat exchanger as the heating elements are probably not replacable. If that is the case the cost could be considerable.

That usually indicates that the heating element is failing. Presumably you could get a heating company to test the element and replace, shouldnt be very costly. Check on the price of a new element on the internet.

Reply to the comment left by Neil Patterson at 23/09/2020 - 17:59I'm not sure that is correct. If you sell your main home and purchase another main home within 3 yrs it does not matter that you already own another...
