Convert 257 hmo to 1 dwelling temporarily for council tax

rokit

The flats are going to be empty for 6 months or so while i get work done, is there an easy way to get them reclassified with the VOA as 1 property to save on paying 3 council tax
bills during that period?

i.e. remove toilets, taps etc?

disputes over correct allocation of funds

Clarygreen

Hello,

We live in a shared freehold. 5 flats, 2 resident trustees of which I am one.

Currently there is only £3,500 in the account and we are planning that and future summer income to do essential maintenance works on the roof and slowly build a sink fund (it has taken years...

Most leases don't allow for upgrading at all. If you literally mean upgrade, the seller will need to be prepared to pay the whole cost, and even then you might not want to do so if it increases future costs.

If you are really talking about repairs and renewals, you would need to check...

Post for tenants who have left

Koups52

HI, with HMOs there is invariably a turnover of tenants over time. I remind tenants who are leaving to sort out their post redirects and change their address, but there are some who just don't seem to get round to it. I have reminded them but still, some seem to forget. The post then can pile up at...

However iin my experience the post has occasionally fallen open to reveal debt collectors letters etc for previous tenants. It is then better to contact the company involved and explain the situation rather than have them bother new tenants at the address. If they do not owe me anything I will happily...
