Tenancy inspection - more than one inspector?

[templar018080]

Good evening,

I'm a tenant with an amicable relationship with my agent and landlord.

I've been notified that the landlord and agent would like to inspect the premises at the same time together. (Just a routine inspection.) My question - is there currently anything in the...

Hi all

I'm starting a new tenancy agreement in 2 weeks, we're yet to sign the tenancy agreement. As part of the accepted offer conditions, I asked for the property to be professionally cleaned before we move in, which the landlord accepted as part of the offer (I have this in writing)....

Hi all,
Our managing agent has included a cost in last year's service charge for buying a stock of keys so that future tenants can buy them from the agent instead of the actual supplier.

Long time reader, first time poster.

We've used the DPS custodial scheme since the introduction of deposit protection but are growing increasingly frustrated at their tendency to side with tenants in disputes. Has anyone else been through this and moved to any...

I have noted that the letting agent she uses charges VAT on all services and fees. I recently noted that she was being charged for VAT by the agent for...

I am advertising my property with a well-known London agent. I am prepared to pay the high fee if a tenant is found quickly. This hasn't happened straight away and I am free to do my own thing. I was thinking of trying an online agent at a reduced rent but this will then mean the property is shown...

I am letting my property privately (without using a letting agency) however, as I will be abroad for most of the time, I have nominated a person that will be able to act on my behalf and...

What is the recent opinion of online letting agents? My head is spinning trying to compare them, the different services they offer and the fees. Are any in particular building up a good reputation?

I don't want a fully managed service as I live close to the property and can DIY the basics...

Summer is fast approaching and it seems the travellers are back out and about and our work load each week is steadily increasing.

Hi All

I've been a tenant for around 18 month now, subject to 4 monthly inspections by an agent on behalf of the property owner. Tonight, the inspector for the agent told me he needed to take photographs. He didn't explain why, or what for. At the time, I just said OK, since I have nothing...
