Forgotten to protect deposit

by olibird

Yep, I’ve forgotten to protect a new deposit in time, it’s now 21 days late. The deposit was paid by a credit union rather than the tenant and is due to be repaid to them. I am required, of course, to protect the deposit within the time limit as well as informing the credit union and the tenant...

Apologies if something similar has already been covered elsewhere. I did try to search but couldn't find anything that matched my situation particularly closely. A huge thanks in advance to any of you who do take the time to read and advise.

TLDR version: Police have forced entry into my...

Greetings, I Come in Peace

by AVJ113

Hello all, I am a prospective landlord. I will be arranging my first mortgage in principle today as a start to my evil buy-to-let empire. As a total newb, what would be the one piece of advice you would give after your years of experience as a landlord?

Reply to Charity Opening up house next door as Temp Housing

by jpkeates

I would have thought that the property becoming an HMO or hostel might require planning permission.

Although one thing you can't use as an objection to a planning change is the effect on the value of your property.

by jpkeates

The issue isn't who has to repair, but who bears the loss.

I agree with the final sentence.
But we don't know what happened for sure.

To be honest, I've been back and forth on this kind of issue for more than a decade.
I used to think it was the landlord's liability...

Reply to Charity Opening up house next door as Temp Housing

by Lawcruncher

I would not worry too much. On the estate I lived on there were plans to set up a home for those needing "care in the community". A few neighbours consulted estate agents who told them that house prices would drop. (They would, wouldn't they.) A petition was drawn up which I declined to sign...
