Bed in rental property needs replacing
We rent a furnished property and we're having problems with the bed. Since we moved in (August 2014), the bed has been creaky and uncomfortable. I don't mean the odd creak, I mean it creaks with any movement on it, if you sit on it, if you roll over, if you reposition yourself a little. We tried tightening the screws on it…

Address not recognised on credit history
Found one listed, never been associated with it. No other problems throughout credit history, just this. Apart from requesting for it to be removed, is it anything to worry about? Someone trying to use this address in my name / purchase goods etc? Bit of a mystery to me really.

House listed on zoopla as leasehold?
Hello! I'm due to go and view a house on Monday and was just doing a bit of nebby research before then... I spotted on zoopla it was listed as leasehold, however when I checked the land registry it is classed as a freehold?

Offer accepted, what happens now?
I have a decision in principle and have viewed a flat I like. I am due to view it again tomorrow in the day time (first viewed it after work when it was dark) before making an offer which I think is likely to get accepted.

Water Bill
Hi, I've just moved into a rented flat. The day I moved I met my landlord for the first time and this is what he said apart from other things, "By law, name on the bill must be of the owner of the property and only applies to water bill but not electricity or gas.".
