The 'D' day landings were unbelievable when 150,000 troops landed in France. Rommel was away at a family celebration in Berlin and Hitler had taken sleeping pills and his generals were afraid to wake him. All this was unknown to the allies and with limited time awaiting the right weather for the crossing, they attempted the cross. Unbelievable.

Are you the new moderator, or even a solicitor? No, thought not.

A private buyer is hoping to sell their middle flat which is in a three story house. The housing association tenant that lives downstairs, constantly complains because there is no sound proofing anywhere in the building and the private buyer above has removed the carpets and opted for bare polished floorboards. Can the freeholder, who is a housing association, amend the lease agreement to prevent future leaseholders from removing carpets and using wooden flooring?

The tenant is in arrears by two months. But if I issue a section 21 or S8 and the tenant then starts paying the rent, does that make the S21 or S8 invalid, meaning I wouldn't have to take legal action? Ideally I would like them to leave as this could continue for the rest of the tenancy.
-
I just wondered what landlords experiences were when giving tenants notice to leave, issuing either of these two documents. I mean either way if a tenant refuses to leave, could the issuing of a section 8, as a result of the landlord wanting to move into the property, make it easier for the court to fast track the case, allowing the tenant no excuse to remain in the property?

Thanks everyone for your replies and also Mr Bloke for the link that states you are tax exempt if on the way to a pre-arranged MOT.

Eh, have you ever applied for car insurance before?

I will be driving my sorn car to a pre arranged MOT next week. When it passes the MOT, I can get it taxed the same day. I will get the car insured before it goes to the MOT. However, my dilemma is, could I get fined for driving an untaxed car to the MOT station?

Landlord Refuses To Upgrade Epc To Grade C From 2028
poppet2 replied to poppet2's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
Well as things currently stand, landlords with an EPC of F or lower, should not be renting any accommodation. What happens if you are a protective tenant and the landlord refuses to upgrade your accommodation? The biggest fear for a tenant is to inform the council, only for the landlord to refuse to upgrade, then tell the tenants to leave. I am talking about protective 1977 Rent Act and Assured tenants here, not your average AST's. -
How on earth could a solicitor make a mistake like that? I hope you retrieved your money once the solicitor realised the mistake that was made. The SDLT details are even published on the government website.

EPCs have to be a grade C from 2028. What will happen to tenants if a landlord refuses to upgrade his properties, especially if the tenants are protected 1977 Rent Act tenants and 1988 Assured tenants, rather than your usual Assured shorthold tenants? Surely they can't evict these tenants, just because landlords can't afford to upgrade these properties or even refuse to sell them? If the law states that landlords can't rent their properties until the upgrade is done, does that mean the tenants can live there rent free until this is completed?
-
Are these needed if you are going to sell a property?
-
Suppose you want to flip a property in a few months and don't have the deeds because it takes HM land registry around six months to prepare them. Is it possible to sell a property without the deeds?
-
Ive just thought, maybe disconnecting all the utilities would do it.

But it's not your house until you've fully paid your mortgage for every piece of brick and mortar. Until then, it still remains the property of the lender. Also, some houses are leasehold.
