EPC and selling without low energy lighting

rentreviewspecialist

According to the EPC that I have just had done, our house has five stars for the low energy lighting in fixed outlets.

As far as I am concerned, the light bulbs belong to me.

Am I right in thinking that when I sell the property I can if I want remove the low energy light...

ram

Choice of bulbs is a personal matter for owner of property, not the government, and as you will no longer own the property when it's sold, then not your problem.
Also, I can see no law that compels use of florescent tubes, as that is what a low energy bulb is, folded over a few times to keep the...

Yeah, of course you can remove them. (I even do it for ones I'm letting, as I know tenants are too tight to replace with low energy ones.)

EPC anomoly? Could a pre-existing House subject to a Life tenancy come with MEES???

flyingfreehold

would anyone know the answer to this?

Some twenty years ago we purchased a house subject to a lease for life, at an annual rental, currently in the region of £2500 which is perhaps a quarter of what would be the open market rental value. There is no question of a sale or transfer of the...

Any recommendations for office chairs?

Lots on

I rent a flat out to new students and the office chairs ( which were there when I acquired the flat) need replacing as they are old. Can anyone recommend a good brand/ model? I was going to go with John Lewis but they have a 6 week wait. Thank you.

Thanks everyone and apologies for being offline for so long. In the end I went with Viking and got something mid range. I think they are ok, as long as the tenant is not significantly overweight. It was 5e convenience of fast turnover and convenient delivery times that swung it....

Boundary wall

HantsAgent

Apologies if I've put this in the wrong section. Feel free to move it if so.

A property I look after shares a boundary with another property. "My" property's car parking space is flanked by a very old (probably original, circa 1900) wall which is in disrepair. It has a large crack...

The "ownership" of the boundary (via T marks etc on deeds) may be different to that of the wall itself. Sometimes walls are built just inside of a boundary and is owned by the party that does not "own" the boundary.

You probably do want to make every possible effort...

Looking at title plans will not tell you who owns a boundary feature. You need to look at the property register of each title to see if either contains a declaration about the ownership of any boundary feature. In the absence of any indication, any number of factors come into play to determine who owns...

switching from communal to individual boilers

Noqlu

I am part of a RTM group in a 24 flat block. The old communal boiler heated the stairwell , one radiator in each flat and provided hot water to each flat. This is in line with the lease, which obliges the landlord to provide communal heating and hot water. The boiler has now come to the end of its life....
