I've only had 1 tenant that asked if he could have 1 installed and I agreed providing it didn't affect the EICR. He doesn't have a dropped kerb to allow him to park in the driveway and after the fiasco...

So, they think I'm going to pay out 2 years income to save a tenant a few pounds per year? The NetZero is their idea, let them pay for it. The most I'm doing is selling 1 house that is...

I have to wonder how much of my tax money they have spent on this useless consultation. Any landlord could have told them what would happen. If they had 2 brain cells they would have known this.... I've got all...
