Reply to Any disadvantages of Share of Freehold?

by AndrewDod

Simple answers in reverse order

Share of freehold does not mean you do not have a lease. You still have a lease which has a fixed term (and you are still bound by all of the obligations under that lease). All it means is that you are a joint owner of the freehold.

Plenty of...

Any disadvantages of Share of Freehold?

by landing

Hello!

Any disadvantages of Share of Freehold?
Also why some say 'Freehold/Share of Freehold' but also mention 100 years left on the lease?

Thanks!

Reply to Enforcing a CCJ without current address

by shoobydoo

I used a company called Vilcol to trace someone. They gave me the new address and an updated phone number too. No solicitor needed. I did not have any previous address so had to pay a higher fee, but you already have the previous address so it will be lower. And if no trace, then no fee.

Enforcing a CCJ without current address

by Chrisall

First post and straight in with a question! We had a CCJ against a bad tenant and can't enforce/ recover the debt because the person refuses to provide their address. The prior address was our property and the only correspondence address is her debt management company. I've looked at address tracing...

Reply to Deposit not protected - when to take action?

by artin

I am a landlord. But not protecting a deposit is foolish and careless. I would go for it, I think you are entitled 1 to 3 times of the deposit so no body will go bankrupt, go for the max, can't see any excuse for not protecting a deposit. A landlord may forget to do something and a judge would be lenient...

Deposit not protected - when to take action?

by security2

Hi all,

I know there's plenty of info on what to do when deposits are not protected but I wonder what your advice would be in this particular situation?

A friend of mine took on a rental in London last year and has given notice to vacate for end of this month. It's through...

Reply to Deposit not protected - when to take action?

by jpkeates

I'd wait until the deposits been returned.
Unless the agent makes some unreasonable demands, in which case I'd start then.

Your friend has six years from the deadline to protect the deposit to make a claim.

Even if the agent is acting on behalf of a landlord, it's possible...

Can I get rent paid direct to me?

by NaomiB

My tenant was supposed to have left yesterday but she hasn't so this morning I posted my N325-eng form with the £130 for the bailiffs.

I am expecting the court to take about three weeks to issue the warrant and four to six weeks for the bailiffs to come so about two months or so. She...

Reply to Deposit not protected - when to take action?

by AndrewDod

Is the agent the named landlord on the tenancy agreement. If so, go for it. If agent is agent for some other named landlord, you will be screwing someone who has already been screwed over by the agent, so would need a good (moral) reason to want to do that....
