I have a potential guarantor who is very busy professional and would find it difficult in the circumstances to meet for an ID check in person as he does not live locally. Is there a way, by using a local solicitor or some-such, which could verify the ID more convniently for the guarantor.

Yes. Any practising solicitor in UK should be able to certify copies as true copies of originals (passport, driving licence, etc.)Originally posted by Bel View Post
In non-UK jurisdictions, the copies should be notarised.JEFFREY SHAW, solicitor [and Topic Expert], Nether Edge Law*

Jeffrey(or others) if you are still following this thread,
If you were in my position, would you trust that the deed of Guarantee is signed and witnessed not in your presence? Would it be better to insist that a solicitor witnesses it?All posts in good faith, but do not rely on them

Yes, but insist that solicitor verifies identity of signatory (i.e. not "M. Mouse" or "A. Nonymous").JEFFREY SHAW, solicitor [and Topic Expert], Nether Edge Law*

Jeffrey, I so appreciate your help.
Had the guarantor been more local; is it acceptable for the agent to witness the deed of G and the ast being signed, or does it have to be more a more independant person?All posts in good faith, but do not rely on them

My tenants get a nice letter with my name and contact details on it, but I want them to talk to my agent, not me.
I try and make it clear that the details are really only if they have a problem with the agent and need to talk to me....19-05-2022, 11:32 AM -
I’m a tenant facing a sharp rent increase and in need of advice.
I have a good landlord who agreed to a rent reduction last year because of ongoing maintenance issues and lower market values. However, I can only communicate with them through an agency.

If you break it down further, it's better for the landlord.
The median time from claim to possession order (which is 60 odd percent of the time, the result) is under 11 weeks (say just under three months), so from that point, possession is pretty much inevitable.
So it's frustrating, but...19-05-2022, 11:29 AM -

Stat's are one thing, reality and being in the middle of trying to get your property back is another, just feel sorry for those LL's who are trying to get back possession even after 27 weeks (7 months) it's a long time!!!19-05-2022, 11:24 AM

Can't agree more: Such information (landlord, address..) should be available for free, 24/7, not requiring £3 spend.

If the property is now in good condition then you might suggest there should have been a £100 pcm rent rise for the first year - when you got a reduction - and a further £100 pcm this year, so £1700. If market rate is around £1800 then I would think this reasonable.19-05-2022, 10:58 AM

Reply to Section 21 During Contract PeriodThey can serve notice on you during your contract, but can't act upon the S21 notice until the expiry of your contract. They can serve you with a S8 notice during your fixed term contract.

Hello,
On 09.12.2021 I moved in to a flat and signed 6 months contract.
Then on 08.04.2022 I have been served section 21 notice by the letter trough the mailbox...
