I don't understand the Rent/Mortgage asset stuff?
He owns a property? is that where you are living? Were does the rent come into it?
If he owns a property and its rented out you haven't shown that income0 -
The OR will claim the rental income as an asset if the property is rented out.0

Nope! This is normal.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0 -
Yes you put the benefits in.
Why are you running at around a £1k deficit now? The books should balance.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0 -
So he still owns a property which is owned with his ex wife. As they are now divorced neither of them live in it and so its rented out which is managed through a local estate agent. So the rent that is paid on that property is basically paying off the mortgage on that house. There's £137,100 of the mortgage left outstanding on the house. He says the houses current value would be top end £138,000. So are the figures in the right place on his SOA for this part?
So we live in our current house which isn't owned and our rent a month on this property is £505 a month x0
