Reply to Renting out a garden flat which isn’t registered as a separate address

by Hudson01

If it is not recognized as a separate dwelling for council tax etc and all it takes is the home owner to go all DIY and put a piece of ply wood up then to the local authorities it would not '' appear '' on any records, thus making it very easy to simply declare nothing to HMRC. My main concern is as...

Renting out a garden flat which isn’t registered as a separate address

by AliRaz

Good afternoong,

Hope someone will be able to give me an advice here. Me and my husband have been renting a flat out a flat for a couple of months. It was advertised as a private garden flat with all bills (incl. council tax) included, we didn’t question it much. The landlord’s family...

Reply to Renting out a garden flat which isn’t registered as a separate address

by AliRaz

This is the part that I am questioning. I mean, yes, it CAN be a separate dwelling without being a separate property, but from my understanding, all self-contained units were regarded as dwellings and all dwellings had to be asessed and potentially assigned to a council tax valuation band. But this...

Reply to Renting out a garden flat which isn’t registered as a separate address

by jpkeates

No.
It can simply be a separate dwelling without being a separate property.

If you have the sole occupation of the space and it has all the facilities to allow you to live, cook and sleep there it's capable of being a tenancy, rather than a lodger / excluded occupant arrangement,...

Reply to We've been accepted.....need a few pointers please

by nukecad

Whilst it's good to be cautious you seem to have already provided this person with your bank statements.
So they already have your account number and sort code; unless you redacted them.

As Berlingogirl says it's unlikely that a scammer would go through all those checks. (They just...

by ShelNay21

Morning everyone,

Following on from my first post last week, I am pleased to say that last night we got accepted on a property through a private landlord on OpenRent.

Reply to Renting out a garden flat which isn’t registered as a separate address

by AliRaz

I believe we could only be classified as lodgers in case we shared some facilities, is that correct? We do not share anything as we are separated by the wooden wall from the rest of the house. We have our own entrance, too. Thank you for the advice!

You could be classed as a lodger rather than a T, depending on the dwelling, just because you call it a Flat, if it has not been legalised as one, then it's not an could be just an extension to the existing property....
