by DPT57

I think that you're supposed to spend £10k on energy saving improvements and if this doesnt get it to a C, you're still allowed to let it.

EPC Certificates for 1977 Rent Act Tenants

by Katherine Parsons

Is there any information you can point me to that deals with this topic?

Reply to Section 257 HMO and Council Tax

by Ted.E.Bear

The VOA is likely to chamge it to at least 4x band A at some point.

jpkeates, I've been busy recently but just wanted to come on here to say thank you for your detailed reply. It's most helpful and I'll pass it on. I imagine it will be reassuring to know the potential outcomes, even if it doesn't go the tenant's way.

Reply to Pharoah ants

by anonkiana

Hi guys thanks for all your suggestions. We have these ant food things scattered all around but the ants don't seem to like it, we've tried a few of them and that solution doesn't work. There are so many tiny holes in this place in the walls etc, even pest control said it would be difficult to pinpoint...
