Reply to Section 21 abolition - timetable

by Hudson01

I like the sound of the model in Scotland. I do agree that the EPC C is not yet law but i would be amazed if it did not come in, i am hoping for a change in the way in which electrically heated properties are viewed (mine are this way), if not then my properties will never achieve a C and i will be...

Section 21 abolition - timetable

by Kape65

I know that abolishing Section 21 is not yet a done deal but is looking likely. Do we know when the governments white paper is likely to show it's face and how long after that before we will not be able to use Section 21 ( a crystal ball question I know ). I'm hoping to repossess at least one more property...

Reply to Can I use an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement for a 2 month rental?

by Hooper

No it doesn't require any contract for holiday lets. It does require minimum 6 month for the AST. It also differentiates between AST tenants and holiday let tenants in that AST tenants need to be professionals - holiday lets do not have the same requirements....

Can I use an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement for a 2 month rental?

by stanleyman

Hi! I would like to rent out the flat I own on a short-term 2 month basis. My freeholder permits me to have an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement so I would like to get one in place for my guest and then buy appropriate landlord insurance to cover me for public liability, personal injury, damage to...

Reply to Rent Increase

by jpkeates

It's increasingly difficult for me to get any kind of feel for what the market rent for a property might be.

There are no properties available to rent that are similar to mine in the areas that I let.
The few that do appear vanish in hours and have rents that seem pretty random to...

I am a landlord and have been letting a property out to tenants for £600 PCM for 4 years with no rent increases, i have not had my eye on the ball for 18 months and have just found out that very similar properties in the area are going for £800 PCM. What is the maximum i could raise the rent at the...

Reply to Cakes and wear and tear!

by landlord-man

You say there are less people in the property now - so a bit of extra use of the oven isn't going to amount to much - think what wear and tear you've saved on everything else.

However, I would check Insurance to ensure your Tenant is permitted to run a business from the property. Also ensure...

Reply to Rent Increase

by landlord-man

That's one way to look at it lol

I would look at it that I would be charging EXACTLY THE SAME as every other similar property in the area as that is the MARKET RATE for that property.

Yes, I'd use the money to enjoy a few nice holidays - or to maintain the property to a high...

Thankyou. For the holiday lets does your insurance company require you to have some sort of contract in place with your guests ? If so what contract do you use?...
