Timescales in electing main residence

[Celibin]

Why on earth did you not just let the tenancy go onto a periodic thus avoiding fees?

[Celibin]

I thought the other proposals were to lower the Personal Allowance?
What seems clear to me is that they only want LLs with several properties now, especially married ones who can transfer their allowances .So single, only one or two properties you are stuffed
They have so many on UC/low...

[Celibin]

When you start letting how long do you have before you have to tell HMRC which residence you wish to declare as your main residence? 2 or 3 years...

[Celibin]

What if tenant goes ahead and changes locks without telling you?

[Celibin]

There will always be speculation on these taxes and no one can really tell. But yes they are easy targets
However the yield will still be much lower than across the board income tax rises...

[Celibin]

No sorry I meant if I give a years tenancy when can I give notice?

[Celibin]

Yes thanks. When would I be able to give notice under the 6 month scenario then? (Just supposing)...

[Celibin]

I only know it from students point of view. The main problem seems to be lack of communal space and equipment especially in the kitchen
I have heard of 6 having to share one fridge/f and cooker. Inevitably it leads to rotas but that does not seem to work.
You need 2 of everything incl sinks...

[Celibin]

This one does not have enough earned income but has lump sum from house sale to pay upfront After the 6 months she has to have another 6 months upfront.
I have never heard of this Is it common?

[Celibin]

Oh and one also smokes as well so could it be to cover the smoke ? The thing is I think it is the agent who has been telling them
these things which is a bit concerning

[Celibin]

My neighbours had an iffy lodger.Can I give you a private reply?

[Celibin]

The décor is new and modern . I feel this is not necessary yet. I find it somewhat cheeky

[Celibin]

It is a financial thing on both sides...

[Celibin]

COVID may be the biggest problem What if they catch it? Either way may have to work from home

[Celibin]

Is this now 6months like AST? Thanks
