Gas Safety Cert

[Claymore]

I would only be getting it done early if I can't find the current valid certificate. In a way, just a solution to protect me later down the line.

Thank you JPK - I thought that was the case. I will make sure I locate the copy but I believe I have it electronically so will be able to print out if nec....

Hi

I'm just pulling together all my documentation for a new tenancy. My current LGC runs out middle of March but I cant put my hand on a copy at moment. As I'm at the house I'm going to try and get this years cert done early as I don't want to inconvenience the new tenants.

JK0,

I think you are 100% right.

[Claymore]

No, you don't need to inform your tenants. When you renew tenancy agreement just use the name you use then....

[Claymore]

This tenant could well be the cause of the problem from what you describe. As JKO mentioned, to me it would seem the local authority don't have a leg to stand on with it being an 'informal notice'.

I would get lots of pictures to proove her lifestyle and, assuming all the correct documentations...

I no longer do my own returns but if I did, I would just increase my figures accordingly and in the additional comments section, state the following 'I rented out my main residence for a short period and have included the income and expenditure within my figures'. I personally wouldn't worry about...

Have you read your tenancy agreement? You will probably find that the property should be returned in the same condition as when you started your tenancy.

If the oven/cooker needed cleaning - I think thats a reasonable cost.

The carpet cleaning bill seems steep for a flat....

No, its not three months - it means an extra 8 months rent going into 2018/19 return instead of the 8 months going into 2019/2020 - the 12 months rent is a very large amount - South East London prices and will really affect things.

I think I will just ask the solicitor to split the payments...

I do have an accountant and he is really p'd off with me at the moment. I have been really late in getting my info to him. Totally my own fault and if he doesn't accept my promises for the future, I'm going to have to find a new accountant. So, I'm p'd off with myself too and I darent ask him anything...

[Claymore]

OK, I think I understand that. I guess my accountant must submit my returns on a cash basis as I'm not a large company. So would I simply ask him to submit my tax returns on an 'Accruals' basis for 2018/2019 return?

[Claymore]

Sorry, what does that mean - can you explain?

[Claymore]

Grateful for some advice from our regular posters please.

I have tenants due to move into my house on 1st Feb. They have sold their home (completion 1st Feb) so they can address a financial pickle they had got themselves into, they have been very upfront about their mistakes, they are...
