Hello, my wife and I bought a property, the completion date was January 2023. We bought with a tenant in situ who since April has been in rent arrears and is refusing to leave after section 21 and 8 has been issued.

The solicitor is about to issue an accelerated possession order but has requested us to get the Gas Safety certificate issued to the tenant when she moved in 2016, which is not available. Will the court not honour the accelerated possession order as advised by the solicitor?

Please advise as my wife and I are having to incur monthly costs from our pockets.

Thank you,

Stan

    There are mortgage CO’s that will do mortgages on properties with spray foam (but find a good specialist broker) … if the type of foam is deemed to be a standard, considered safe, i.e., non-detrimental, non-toxic and non-inflammatory.

    So worth getting a sample tested (but where?), but it can be removed by hand cutting/scraping … not hazardous ( with a mask), but is labour intensive and several days work for a 2/3 bed house (£1,000+), but will make the house more mortgageable.
