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?

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...

Currently I have...
