Womerry2 Â Â 10 #1 Posted May 22, 2021 The neighbouring house is rented, not through an agency, and we have no contact information for the owner. Their (very high) offshot kitchen is the boundary wall, and the render is cracked and coming away from the wall. It looks quite unsafe. What can we do?

If so point it out to them and they may have a way of getting in touch with the owner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Most likely the gable wall is owned/maintainable by that house's owner. You can obtain ownership details direct from HMLR for just £3: https://eservices.landregistry.gov.uk/eservices/FindAProperty/view/QuickEnquiryInit.do  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I had an issue with a nearby rented property one time (been on rent for almost 10 years one and off). Paid the £3 for the ownership details. Turns out the owner was registered at that address. So I didn't get very far in tracking him down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

In case of severe provocation, one could complain to the mortgagee (lender). Possibly the proprietor did not trouble to obtain its consent for sub-letting (one reason why a proprietor might conceal his/her true address from HMLR!)

Possibly the proprietor did not trouble to obtain its consent for sub-letting (one reason why a proprietor might conceal his/her true address from HMLR!) (as i found out much later through word of mouth) the owner is a landlord of hundreds of properties in Sheffield, almost all auction cash purchases so that wouldn't have worked either. Hence why he couldn't care less about the state of the property or his tenants as long as the rent kept coming in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
