Buy yout own part and book own plumber-max of a week if you know several fitters.The parts available overnight on internet.

[gnvqsos]

Cannot see a 4 week delay as reasonable.Do you think landlord would manage for 4 weeks in cold?I dont think you could,my friend,do you?...

[gnvqsos]

Thanks for the lesson but you have ignored/avoided the deduction from deposit issue,where perhaps there isnot a robotic response available.

[gnvqsos]

That was some deposit-£2400 ! What size of house was rented out?

[gnvqsos]

A bit like royal male....

[gnvqsos]

Any chance of disclosing these racism surveys?You seem to have alot to say about fascim-are you for or against?...

[gnvqsos]

jpkeates,

Surely the contract has been broken when hot water and heating ceased.Any obligation to pay rent has been lessened.The deduction from the deposit is not unilaterally determined,

[gnvqsos]

Well you could nominally hire the lap top from a relative,who pays no tax,and list the expenditure as a bought in service.You can claim for anti-virus,paper,ink which are used when writing to tenants.I cannot see HMRC bothering when there are numerous landlords who evade all taxes by failing to submit...

[gnvqsos]

The claim and flat roof will raisr premiums,as will students.

[gnvqsos]

theartfullodger,

Thanks for explaining to the other person.

[gnvqsos]

Are you suggesting this illegalYou have flogged my post-really!...

[gnvqsos]

I believe the exposed cable is best hused in trunking-it is cheap and no-one would attempted to drill.If in doubt visit an electricalk wholesaler.There are some very kind and helpful tricians on this forum.

[gnvqsos]

Have you received any payments?If you go ahead you will be in bigger mess.

[gnvqsos]

Arrange for your tenant to pay rent owed to your landlord....

[gnvqsos]

And Peddants brew lager....

Helvie,

At risk of souning smug,I have no mortgages as all properties bought with cash.Hence disregarded a change which was not applicable.

[gnvqsos]

I would remortgage own home and finance house purchase thus.However given your lack of experience I would defer until having done some research.

[gnvqsos]

surreygirl,

Sounds klike alkl-round scam.Penetratting damp is addressed by repointing usually,which is cheaper than rendering.Moreover £60,000 seems high-a figure suggesting months of work.The bit about an external wall belonging to another party seems wrong.

[gnvqsos]

Very unusual case.

You have done nothing wrong.The person could heat water on stove or in kettle.Simply update her and send her phone no of insurer and let her communicate.I would be tempted to get work done .Set deadline,if breached hire fitter and bill insurer.
