Notice to Quit - So upset
Comments

Those fees are astronomical! Have you checked with other agents in the area? I've just paid £200 in fees which includes the credit check, and I thought that was way too much!0

I you read the ops post it says notice to quit and not a s21Any posts by myself are my opinion ONLY. They should never be taken as correct or factual without confirmation from a legal professional. All information is given without prejudice or liability.0

Check the validity of the "way round" the no-sell covenant that you mention. Is it an "agricultural tie" meaning that the property can only be sold or rented to an agricultural worker? These are usually very strict.I'm not a lawyer, so this is just my opinion. Don't go acting on legal advice you get from a stranger on the internet!0

Correction, they used to be 'very strict.'
Now, in many places they are only a difficulty if you need a mortgage. Councils are hard-pressed enough as it is, without having to police outmoded legislation.
Those with the means to pay know this.
Sorry, just being realistic, and these might not be ag-tied, because they sound like older estate-type properties.
I agree with contacting Shelter asap.

If The op could upload a copy of the notice minus the personal details this matter could be settled. I have dealt with a lot of these holding. They usually begin with the words 'for the better performance of your duties' or similar words.Any posts by myself are my opinion ONLY.

Hi All,
Yes its a section 21 - Yes the deposit was protected. The land agents are very buttoned down so do things by the book
No i have not spoken to shelter. I didnt want to waste their valuble time when regardless i will be obliged to leave as its been done correctly (as far as ai can see)
The lady who been in 40yrs is 'protected' but they are moving her to another house on the estate to cover their obligations to her.(she just got a notice to move not a section 21)
Ast for the rest of us.
I think its neither here nor there if the Landowner can sell or not as the notice has been served so feel this would be a wild goose chase and distract from the matters at hand... desperately finding somewhere to livePlease note I have a cognitive disability - as such my wording can be a bit off, muddled, misspelt or in some cases i can miss out some words totally...0 -
You should 'phoneShelter 0808 800 4444. Some 30% of s21s are invalid so get some advice .
The lady who has been there 40 years should also get advice. She does not HAVE to move unless she wants to.
Best wishes.0 -
You won't waste their time. They are there to help. At the very least you might buy some time to find the right place.0
