Reply to Deposit deduction for repairs - landlord responsibilites

by fpyards

I don't think Foxton's provided them, the landlord has always been responsible for managing the property and repairs.

The clauses relating to picture hooks are:
"Not to hang or fix any posters, pictures or other items to the walls of the Property using nails, glue, blu-tac, sellotape...

Deposit deduction for repairs - landlord responsibilites

by fpyards

I moved out of a flat a few days ago. While I was in the flat there was a leak due to a punctured pipe in a wall cavity that the landlord is claiming a deduction from our deposit for repairing.

The total cost being claimed is £492.50 for the plumber's work and £180 to repair the wall....

Reply to Buying a rental property; current owner's house not yet finished. Suggest renting?

by nukecad

Something doesn't seem right there.

Surely any such agreement should not give them the right to sell his property until he was able to take possession of the new one?

I certainly wouldn't sign/agree to anything that allowed it, what if the builders go bust and the new build...

Buying a rental property; current owner's house not yet finished. Suggest renting?

by junglerower

Hi, I have exchanged contracts on a house which I will buy with a buy-to-let mortgage.
The current owner has bought a new house of David Wilson's homes and they have taken his old house in exchange, which I now bought via them.
His new house is not yet finished, so he has to move somewhere...

Reply to Subletting & Eviction: Lodger Hasn't Made An Effort To Move Out.

by nukecad

Interestingly; for people receiving Universal Credit any rent that they get from a lodger or sub-tenant is not treated as income.

It is counted as income in 'legacy' Income Related benefits such as Housing Benefit or Jobseekers Allowance but for some reason not in UC.

Reply to Deposit deduction for repairs - landlord responsibilites

by Hooper

Did Foxtons provide or recommend the workmen? They have form with expensive repairs.

My zone 2 plumber is £65/hr but Pimlico (for instance - no idea why anyone uses them) can be over £100. But even at that rate there would have had to have been a lot of complications to add up to almost...

by MindRevolutionary1776

Admittedly, I haven't informed the HMRC. Thankfully, I have a separate bank account solely for house rent and expenses. I've also kept a spreadsheet. This will be taken care of in the coming weeks. I don't want this hanging over my head...

He works 24 hours a week for a friend of ours who is a company owner.
I was at home this afternoon and his door was permanently shut, bar a couple of trips to bathroom and kitchen. This wasn't the case, until I announced I was vacating the house

Yes, the property owner is fully in...
