Quite some time Westminster. :)

Granite? I got about six linear metres with upstand fitted for just under £2k recently.

Only if you have handicapped residents I believe.

Or better still, why not insist on a space as a condition of staying on?

Artful, I had some tenants who acquired moths because they were fresh air fanatics. (The windows were left open 24/7 and the moths were attracted to the lights.) I deducted half the carpet...

You are going for the accelerated possession route. I would have thought that sending an essay with the N5B, invites the judge to call a hearing, doesn't it?

Ooh, I never thought of having a 'virtual' harem. :) I guess you ladies might be less trouble than a real girlfriend.

Who, me? You are welcome to drop in, if you ever visit Reading, Brb. I think MTG and I might argue too much.

Thanks Bird.

Before you take new photos you might want to check that the kitchen cupboards close and the doors are all square. They look awful at the moment. Also iron the bedlinen.

Its the price mate. (And it looks very scruffy in the pictures.)

You are asking almost as much for that place as I get for a four bed two bath house in Battersea.

Yeah, it would be a good retirement fund. Better rent than mine actually. Another benefit of letting the lease run down to zero is that there will be no Capital Gains Tax/ Inheritance tax to pay at...
