There is a website that you can go on and it gives you details of property marketing and it shows the date it would have been put up for sale, sorry I can't help with the website URL but maybe someone will be along soon who canThrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End
You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time0 -
The consent - to - let issue is something for your landlord to worry about whether he informs the freeholder and his mortgage company, I guess he is just saving on admin charges.
Might create some problems trying to sell without all parties realising there is a STA, but then it would be obvious to any prosective buyer. How odd to market the property for sale but not mention it to the tenant. If it is a mistake a quick call to the estate agent will fix that. You would know if the property is in arrears, being repossessed and being marketed by the mortgage company ?
On the other hand, being up for sale gives you a strong bargaining position.
You really should worry about your deposit, if you cannot afford to lose it, and should demand that it is placed under the DPS. There is no reason for you to trust them so I would also demand a receipt if I were you. You are entitled to withhold your rent if it is not properly demanded - but to be reasonable you should perhaps say that you have put the sum to one side pending confirmation that the deposit is protected.0 -
