I don't see why it would be assumed that a chauffeur / driver / taxi would have customers coming to their 'office'. The whole point of paying for a driver is that they come to you.

In fairness, I'm just waiting for the post complaining about how the Judge, despite not having sufficient / proper evidence, failed to rule in your favour.

You can request all you like :o:

My thoughts and assumptions are that the T had an individual AST, the LL is going to re-let to a different person before the expiry date of this AST and no deed of...

All these incidents should have been reported to the Police.

It does sound like illegal eviction to me.

This thread has been an intersting read.

Look forward to the result of the Court case.

Re-read post #5 and #7

Your T is evading tax.

It isn't.



Again, what are you concerned about? The property was bought without any warranty or guarantee. WHY AND FOR WHAT DO YOU NEED ONE NOW?

As for the scenario about a tenant fixing...

If the T intends to be a sole trader and that Clients would not be visiting the property then I don't see why Planning Consent for change of Use would be required.

If they were planning on being a...

I admire the thought / drive to be productive. From a business point of view you're taking huge risks trying to find a cheap property far from where you are living.

To maximise your profit and...

Assuming the property is in England or Wales.

Then you have a pretty easy Court case for a judgement for the return of your deposit and an additional payment from the LL of up to three times the...

Plenty of threads in the forum on it. Does seem a bit hit and miss on how the rulings determine the magnitude of the penalty.

Nothing new to add to the comments already.

It sounds like you need to learn a bit more about being a LL. Amazon have plenty of books on the matter but have a root around the site too.

Being a...

I'm saying that you bought the property without an indemnity. You'll need to inform your Buildings cover provider of the works but other than that the property is no greater risk than when you...

I'd re-read post #31.

You have no defence to the Ts claim in Court. The T is offering you a settlement. Bit of a no-brainer to me.

So none then. You bought the property with a mortgage without an indemnity, I don't see why you need one now to see out the term of the mortgage.

Clearly the T has undertaken unauthorised works. ...

It's still an offer to settle although the costs should be readily identifiable.

Does the letter not have 'Enforcement Notice' or similar in the subject line or at the top?

That aside, it's not clear if you altered the building and then let it 15-years ago or started letting...

I suggest you re-read post #31.

Take a photgraph and send it to her.

Secondly, quite frankly I think you need to take reasonable steps to clean it. This does not mean spending an infinate amount of time using infinate different...

Personally, no.

Although, there's no legal reason stopping you.

Welcome to the forum.

I assume that the property is in England or Wales.

Does the AST say you can use the bond/deposit towards unpaid rent?

When does the AST expire?

I suggest you get a...

What insurance was on the property before the work was carried out?

Are you sure you're responsible for external decrations?

Firstly, I'd brush up on the differences between the flat and the freehold.

Secondly, if you want wood look flooring for a rental then - assuming it's not the high end of the market - cheap...

Sounds more and more like a 'back garden development' with these bits you keep 'adding'.

As I said, speak to a local Planning Consultant.
