Letting agent 24 hour notice to enter?
Had a letter today saying tomorrow I am having building inspectors coming to inspect the whole building, so my flat and the other 3 plus the outside of the building. I am getting a guy coming who wants to go room to room to check all repairs that they've been billed for have been carried out correctly! That will take ages…

renting - giving notice to landlord
Hi Can someone tell me what needs to be put into a letter to landlord giving notice to end tenancy. We are on a Statutory Periodic Tenancy and know we have to pay the last full tenancy month rent even if we move out earlier. Our deposit was guaranteed by the local council 15 years ago when we moved in so we don't have that…

Can solicitors draft an agreement to this effect? The house would be bought with a mortgage and savings and then…

Indemnity policy question
Our buyers have asked for the above, but I am confused. We bought the house in 2006 and it already had the separate garage built by the previous owners. We didn't receive any paperwork regarding this when we bought the property. Why then are we being asked to pay up for what may or may not have been agreed back then?…

Bought new house, unexpected rent demand
Hi, I purchased a freehold property over a year ago and have received a 'rent demand' from a local trust who apparently used to own the land. The trust is a charity and rent is about £6 a year or I can redeem it by paying x10 the yearly rent. When I bought the house I was not made aware of this, does anyone have any idea…

The estate I'm moving on to everyone has garages but they're full of other stuff (bikes,lawn mowers etc). Thinking about the garage I'll have you could fit a car in but one…

mortgage with existing personal loan
I would like to get a mortgage to buy a property. However, I have an existing personal loan of £20k that is not yet cleared. Ideally, what I'd like to to do is add that loan onto the mortgage. However, I suspect that my credit score is not good because of the loan. This means that a bank will probably not approve a…
