Furnished versus unfurnished

29-08-2010, 21:47 PM

I already let out an unfurnished 2 bed house through an local agent.

I have one bedroom flat in central London which my son lives in and he is moving out in November.

I am thinking of letting this furnished. Apart from fire regulations on the mattress and settee is there anything else I need to be aware of? I am right in thinking that you dont get that much more for letting furnished?

I do not intend to leave a TV but should I provide bedding, pots, pans, plates, toaster, iron, duvet etc?

The flat has a reasonable bathroom which I will tdy up before renting. It has a reasonable over the bath shower. In your opinion, do I need to take the bath out and replace with proper shower unit?

Finally, can anyone recommend a letting agent near Liverpool Street / Algate / City area.

Thanks very much in advance.

It doesn't work like that.
I assumed that might be the case.
Maybe a call to Electoral Services here to see if they can point one to the definition.

Does an HMO Landlord, have a responsibility for the individual households (or whom ever 'lives there').
If a landlord does...

if you are a live in landlord and have a lodgers

are you legally obliged to update the electoral register?

I think the system changed, so that each individual is now responsible for updating their own entry on the electoral register?

I get various...

Landlord wants to demolish work provided for free by council?!

by LostAlien

I live in England.

Hello, my landlord has been trying to evict us since we complained about housing disrepair to the council. Last year, before the complaint, our council's social care team offered to build a step to replace the loose bricks (literally) that was a makeshift step at the...

Reply to Deposit Protection change for New ASTs for present Tenant

by DPT57

As above, its better for you to just let the tenancy go periodic. No admin, no cost and more flexibility.

Deposit Protection change for New ASTs for present Tenant

by VictoriaH

Do I need to unprotected and re protect a tenant's deposit on every new tenancy?
I just got a present tenant to sign a new AST.
Nothing has changed from old to new tenancy.

Thanks.

I know they can clear the debt before it goes to court but even still i can use ground 11 on them which i know a...

I have tentants in my property on a AST agreement which started in 2013 and has been rolling to date. Tenants are behind on their rent by a couple of months (during covid times which they believe they still do not need to pay) and also always late on monthly payments...

Reply to Sitting tenant demanding new carpet already

by DPT57

It sounds like establishing some boundaries is going to be important with this tenant. I would suggest you stick to your guns and get a professional carpet cleaning company in to say whether they can get rid of the smell.

Sitting tenant demanding new carpet already

by Ladymucky

I bought a property with a sitting tenant, within the first week they have a list of complaints about the house which needs sorting as the previous landlord didn’t want to know (great). We have had a look at the property and I’m willing to sort most of them.

However, they are demanding...
