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...

Property damaged. Advice please

by minorbark

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...
