Let Mortgage

15-06-2016, 15:56 PM

Hello!
Viewed a house we like, asked the LA for proof of the LL's right to let. They reply that the LL has provided the appropriate documents to prove their right to let the house, but won't show me because of "data protection". However, they say that they have it on file and it is therefore their responsibility if anything went wrong. What are people's thoughts on renting with this LA? I have been told that I should be more worried about the LL than the LA.

Do you mean proof that the landlord is allowed to let the property by a mortgage lender or that they own it at all?

You can check on the latter at the land registry for £3.00 and the former isn't something that should be much of an issue for you.

Have I missed something?

When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

Is where the right to inspection comes from. Debateable if both are permitted.

Will you ever need a reference from landlord or agent??

Tenancy inspection - more than one inspector?

by templar018080

Good evening,

I'm a tenant with an amicable relationship with my agent and landlord.

I've been notified that the landlord and agent would like to inspect the premises at the same time together. (Just a routine inspection.) My question - is there currently anything in the...

In England a maximum number of 30 people are allowed at indoor events. In Scotland people are being asked to gather in groups of no more than 3 households. In Wales nightclubs are re-opening later this month. All in all I can't see any COVID related restrictions that would prevent both the landlord...

Given what you say about her reluctance in granting access for jobs to be done (that she has complained about !!!) then i suspect she knows exactly what she is doing, be prepared for a long slog, if you do not understand everything about the route you are about to take then as said above....... i would...

Reply to Letting Agent believes they can't share prospective Tennent reference info

by Hudson01

They sound incompetent, as said, they WORK for you, if you cannot see the information then why would you employ them ! Go to another agent who will, i use agents on a tenant find basis and have always had access to that information.

Reply to Wales: New Legislation – your roles and responsibilities

by Hudson01

Very true, but as you will no-doubt accept, as LL's we have to plan many years ahead in terms of if to sell or not (capital gains etc), so keeping all this on the boil is very rational, and i cannot see how both S21 or the EPC will not come in. This govt do not see the small LL as something they wish...

For your sake I hope it is just the tenant playing games because the next tenant will complain too if it’s anything like penetrating damp, poor state of the structure of the walls roof tiles missing etx.

The tenant should get a report done by a surveyor to prove it really as hard evidence...

No. And a tenant does not have to agree to or sign any new agreement.
