Like Artful, I agree with APs last sentence. You need to build up some reserves or 'working capital'. Being a landlord is a business, you need to work in a business like manner to protect yourself, if no-one else.

BTL is not an easy way to acquire a house and have someone else pay the mortgage!

I think we are all in agreement that your friend sounds like a chancer.

If I was going to enter into this sort of arrangement with a landlord where all I was getting was a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, I would expect the rent to be very cheap which begs with question why is your friend...

Lodger or tenant?

by Phil C

Dear all

I'd like to ask your options/advice on a situation with a friend.

He is in the process of buying a one bedroom flat and has a plan to rent the bedroom to a lodger and keep the living room locked for himself but not actually live there.

My belief is if...

Thanks for your question. There is no need to get the landlord licensing from the council of my property is located.

The tenant said my house has been in disrepair the first day when he moved in and caused his family health issues, so he needs me to compensate for...

Right now, unless i had too i would not make any major purchases at all. A great many landlords are looking to sell let alone buy. It is a case of waiting and watching and then making a decsion, each of us are at a different stage in our lives so what is right for one will not be so right for the other....

davetg it would seem so, although we have written to deposit scheme now stating enough is enough but as the money is sitting in their account all cosy earning interest, pretty sure they wont rush a response. It makes a mockery of the scheme if you get an amateur landlord.

Letters before action no court process

by Pastellion

Ex landlord has now sent 2 seperate letters before action using panel solicitors from a legal insurance policy (DAS)
on both occasions he has failed to take us to court as threatened.
This is due to the fact he does not want us to receive deposit back.
We have stated we intend to...

DPT57 we owe this landlord nothing. If he did not agree to the 4 day payment he should have contested it and refused the part payment. He wanted us out to sell the house so he got what he wanted. Especially as he listed the house 2 weeks later, but would have instructed estate agent almost immediately...

by Lawcruncher

I think it is only the criminal bar which is on strike. It should not affect evictions.

I'm sure it will have a knock on effect, the criminal cases currently have a backlog of 56k, and if T's require legal aid then this will impact them.
