Thanks a lot!

That's why those questions are optional! I don't want the Hermaphrodites born on a leap year to feel left out!

Dear all, I have posted a link to a survey I would be grateful for any of you who own retail property (be it small or large) in the commercial forum.

I hope this doesn't count as a double post...

Hi all, I am involved in a research project in relation to retail valuation in market towns.

I would be grateful if any of you could complete my survey and give me your thoughts about wording,...

The forums are for both Landlords and tenants. I thought the time frame was 10 days from the end of the tenancy?

Were they valued at £1,000 each or your entire parking provision? Did you instruct a surveyor to act on your behalf when making submissions to the Arbitrator?

A S21 is a no fault notice, thus there is no defence.

If you served a S8 disrepair is a grounds for defence.

Are you valuing the spaces as £1,000 independently? The spaces are to be valued in relation to the business. Because a space maybe able to command £1,000 if it were let on the open market as a single...

Are the areas still not reserved for access within your lease?

What does the rent review provision state in relation to reviewing rent for the parking spaces? Normal practice would that they would...

Are there legitimate grounds for sacking? Ie have they been served with formal warnings? If it's a case that they're being sacked for a criminal offence then perhaps you may have some room for...
