Bruce Neville I think you’re right- if you’re in dispute (presumably here a tradesman), and they offer you a sum as a ‘full and final’ settlement, if you accept that money then that’s the end of the matter.I think it would be difficult/impossible to claim further sums from them, or to get...

You mention that they've been tenants for around 5 years, so the place is maybe wanting a bit of a freshen up by now.

Olb I’m in the same boat, having served S21 in Oct’19. I don’t want to do the electrical safely test as I’ve decided to knock the house down and rebuild (more sensible than trying to meet EPC targets in an old house). Here’s hoping they’re gone by April, but I’m not holding my breath....
