Responsibilities - letting house
Is there somewhere on site that would tell me exactly for what I would be responsible if I let my house? I have been researching on the internet how one goes about letting - registering with the council, getting an electrician to test electrical appliances, and so on - and have been going round in circles! Many thanks.

Difference between a kitchen breakfast room and kitchen-diner?

I have tried to figure it out the difference from pictures on Rightmove…

Rents set to fall?
Seems quite plausible. People can't sell their (often overpriced) house, so they choose to let it out instead. I'm seeing this not just on MSE, but with colleagues at work too. Two sitting near are having no luck selling and are eager to move - so why not "rent it out" instead. Simple! Maintenance, voids (ie. paying two…
