Procedure for return of DPS deposit?
This is the first time I have had tenants leave since deposits had to be protected, so would appreciate anyone's help on the following situation. Tenants have given their 1 month's notice but it's beneficial for both myself and the tenants to end the tenancy early. However, they need the deposit money back in order to rent…

Drawing the line under nightmare lodger experience.
So, my troublesome lodger has gone. She flatly refused to give me her new address (claimed she couldn't remember it). She has left some of her possessions here (which I understand from reading another thread, that I have to store for her for 90 days). Letters are still arriving - latest is one from her pay-TV service which…

Buying from a private seller
Anyone got experience dealing with private sellers. There is a house for sale on a new build development and someone is selling theirs (only been in it 10 months).

Why are estate agents unable to count to 3?
I would have thought its pretty simple. "I want details of three bedroom properties, in X Y Z price range and area." "Great, we have some of those, we'll send you out details." So why 24 hours later is my inbox full of 2 bedroom houses? Maybe this is why they have those specialised posh estate agents for handling rich…

Using a tenant-finding service - worth it?
I've always found tenants independently in the past and never had problems, just wondering if it is worth using an agent's service this time as they seem to think a higher rent is achievable (£100pcm more), which would offset their fee in about 4 months. I would still be self-managing. Any opinions?

Exchange of Contracts Question
Am I right to assume that if a completion date cannot be agreed, exchange of contracts will not take place? At the moment all of us in the chain have agreed a particular date but our buyer has now decided that he wants a much later date which we are not prepared to agree to. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Exchange of Contracts Question - Urgent
When all parties are ready to exchange, do we all have to agree a completion date before exchange of contracts takes place?
