Reply to Buying a tenanted residential property

by Lesney Park

Unless I've missed something, OP is buying with a residential mortgage (they intend to live in it)

Therefore whilst they can exchange (not advisable), they cannot complete as it will be a condition of the mortgage that there is vacant possession, which there clearly isn't while this tenant...

Buying a tenanted residential property

by itsthomas

We are buying a residential property to live in
Now that everything is ready for exchange we are told that the tenant has decided not to move out.

Reply to Buying a tenanted residential property

by philrosenberg

If it takes maximum up to a year we are happy to go ahead with the purchase and cover the costs.

I am lucky enough to have not yet needed to evict someone from any of my properties. But my understanding is that the longest it can take is forever. If the previous landlord or you fail(ed)...

Reply to Buying a tenanted residential property

by philrosenberg

Reply to Potential tenant do I need to be wary advice needed.

by Goobs27

Agreed, sounds very suspicious. A studio flat is not ideal for growing illegal substances but you will need to check he has the right to rent anyway and a face to face meeting to check his documents is the easiest way. RTR checks can be done electronically with a share code but that code brings up a...

Reply to Leaving my letting agents as a landlord .

by DoricPixie
