  1. Hi there, many thanks for the advice given. The DPS finally answered my numerous emails, concerning the process of returning the property deposit to Dad's landlord. Their explanation was: "We can confirm that when a tenant has passed away, we need to update the details on the deposit to the next of kin, in order for them to be sent an activation link and complete the repayment process along with the landlord/agent. We can see that the landlord has completed the tenant transfer process, and you have responded to their claim, and accepted for the full amount of the deposit to be returned to the landlord. We can also confirm that there are no implications of you being added to the deposit, and this is just our process in order to facilitate the release of the deposit." So I took the plunge and did what was asked of me to do, within the hour the matter had been closed, done and dusted............hopefully! Once again, many thanks for taking the time to reply everyone, it was a situation totally new and unexpected for me to be in, and the tendency to expect a nasty surprise, was too big for me to ignore.
  2. Many thanks for the replies so far. I have contacted DPS, but have yet to hear anything from them so far. I've also contacted the Landlord, who just says this is the only way open to them to get the deposit back, once my name is on the tenancy then they can apply for a refund??? Once the refund has been received, my name will be taken off the tenancy, the property is declared vacant, and everything is fine and dandy in the ideal world. I'm naturally sceptic and worried that I am opening myself up for an expensive fall, hope not. Matters aren't helped by the fact I have no paperwork, or knowledge of, anything my late Father set up, frustrating.
  3. Hi I hope that there is someone out there that could offer advice and help with the situation I find myself in, with regards to my late father's tenancy and his deposit with the Landlord. My Father left Sheffield for the bright lights of Saxilby over 30 years ago, where he rented a House. Sadly he passed away in May, and the process of clearing his house, and entering the process of probate were undertaken. All seemed to be going swimmingly, until this week, when Dad's landlord got in touch concerning the deposit he paid way back when he moved in. It appears the deposit involves a third party, the deposit protection scheme, and in order for the landlord to get the deposit back, they need my name to be added to the tenancy agreement. All this is new to me, Dad never mentioned these arrangements since he moved into the house. I have never heard of this kind of arrangement either, and don't understand why the landlord needs to add my name to the tenancy agreement. They say it is the only way for them to get back the deposit, and will be painless for me! Once they have received their deposit back they will remove my name from the tenancy, and the property will become vacant and ready for the next tenant. It doesn't fit right with me, I have sent a copy of Dad's death certificate, but this doesn't appear to make much difference. Does anyone have experience of this situation? Is it legitimate? Am I leaving myself open for something nasty if I agree to the Landlord' requirements? I have not come across a situation like this before, and hope there is someone who can offer me help and a little more knowledge than I have at the minute. I also have the disadvantage of not living in the Saxilby area, I'm in Sheffield, so all correspondence is being done at a distance. Many thanks in advance.
  4. Hi, noticed the other day my Mother's Chimney Pot had blown off. Can anyone recommend a builder who would be willing to fit a new pot, please. We are talking of the S12 area of Sheffield, many thanks in advance.
  5. HHHHHmmmmm hope you have more luck picking the lottery. That "easier" game at Wycombe looking iffy after the "easy" game against little old us. Good luck with the rest of the season.
  6. Just wondering if any builders out there could shed some light on a potential build I have in mind. I live in a 2 up, 2 down, end terrace, ex council house, onto the back of I would like to add a "Catio", basically a pergola with wire mesh to prevent escape from for our cats. The proposed measurements for the structure would be 30ft by 14ft x 10ft high. Would I need to apply for planning permission before building could go ahead?? And would the structure be classed as an outdoor building??? Many thanks in advance.
  7. Many thanks for the suggestions, mother fixed up with one of them, and happy there is no more stones in the coal, thanks.
  8. Just recently my elderly mother has been having trouble with her coal supplier, for her only source of heating, her coal fire. Her usual supplier started supplying her with coal loaded with what can only be described as stones, cannot think why they have to be there, nor what use they have???.The actual coal in the mix burns fast, gives off little heat, and leaves a lot of these stones with the ash. So we changed her supplier, and for the first delivery, she was happy with the new coal. It was longer lasting, burned nice and warm, and had none of the dreaded stones. Come her second delivery, the stone laden coal has reappeared!!!! Plus she is being charged more what is no different to her past coal delivery!!! Can anyone recommend a decent coal merchant, for delivery to the S12 area of Sheffield, without the stones please!
  9. Apologies in advance if this should be located elsewhere on the forum. We are looking for a Gardener in the S5 area of Sheffield. General tidying up, possible lawn re-turf, hedge trimming. Anyone able to recommend some one suitable please, thank you.
  10. Anyone confirm there is a boot at T.H.C.C. this coming Sunday (13th) August??????? Seen on the C.C. website that one is pencilled in, but nothing on the forum. Is this boot the one that was cancelled a couple of weeks ago????
  11. Labour Council doing its best to get re-elected, pretending to listen, with no intention of doing anything other than what they want to do. Hope the good folks of Sheffield remember this when the council elections come around.
  12. My error, fingers not inline with brain! The telephone number should indeed read 0114 2349656.
