Reply to Whatever happened to the tidal wave of evictions?

by theartfullodger

Many many tenants leave when served s21 , more when court papers served etc etc. Any tidal wave/tsunami may become visible later than now, if at all.

Whatever happened to the tidal wave of evictions?

by jpkeates

The latest government figures for possession claims have been published, which cover January through March 2022.
That's post Covid restrictions and would probably include most of the last of the Covid backlog.

Reply to Ending contracts

by theartfullodger

Depends on what the agreement you have between you and agent or the terms and conditions they sent you when you started the relationship. Sadly can't read it from here.

See what it says, if you can't find anything ask agent to provide copy of such terms you agreed to.....and how/where...

Ending contracts

Second question, the.reason I'm leaving the agent is because a very good friend of mine would like to rent he property. If she wants...

Reply to Noise from rented property

by zcacogp

Thanks for the help everyone. We've made (indirect) contact with the landlord who has been helpful, which is great. The council will be the next port of call if things don't sort themselves out.

Interestingly, the local university (Alma Mater of the students in question) seems to take...

Noise from rented property

The students are given to making noise in their garden, particularly...

Checks foe a Newbie

by AVJ113

Hello good people. I am currently in the process of buying my first BTL house. There is already a tenant, so I don't need to find one.

Can any anyone point me to a check list of 'must do legally', and also 'highly advised', please? I 've done my research but there's nothing like hearing...

by Another Fine Mess

Fortunately in the Uk (Scotland may be different) any house purchase is "Subject to Contract" which means that at any time you can change your mind. so if you have second thoughts you can back out.
I would also say that even if you have signed a contract, and before completion, you...
