Reply to Section 21 abolition - timetable

by jpucng62

EPC C is not law yet! I think there are a lot of LLs waiting to see if this happens or not. I certainly have properties to sell if this is the case but until we have facts I am not taking drastic action.

The announcement today about heat pumps may change the conversation on EPCs - after...

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 Rent Increase

by doobrey

Approach depends on various factors - including perhaps most obviously whether they are good tenants.

Personally I cannot envisage a scenario where I would max out the rent being charged to my tenants so that I could enjoy 'a few nice holidays'. (In case anyone was wondering why landlords...

Reply to TDS requiring court order

by memkad

There is no question that I made a mistake.

I'm asking for help now as in the agreement we both signed it states I can act as an agent for the tenant and let the house or part of the house during the unexpired term to recoup unpaid rent, which I have been doing....

TDS requiring court order

by memkad

Hello all,

As an amateur landlord, I have made quite a big mistake.

I’ve let a house to a limited company and used an AST template from the Law Society, not realising that the document is not valid for use with companies.

All was well until March this year when...

Section 8 and Possession Order - any guidance please?

by chortle

I am about to complete paperwork online via PCOL as my tenant has not responded to section 8. In fact tenant has ignored all contact attempts since stopping rent payments and has given no reason/explanation for the arrears, despite my efforts to reach out - including a written offer to do what we can...

Reply to Rent Increase

by flyingfreehold

It is a paradox but you will make more money as a landlord in the end by charging less than the best open market rent. This is because your tenant will tend to stay put, so less void time, less refreshing the property between lets, less default, less wear and tear with people moving in and out. Also...
