    The work was done on Wednesday. I spoke to the tenant same day.

    Thursday, I get an email from the tenant’s mother telling me they have gone to the council as they are not happy with the work done.

    Same day, Thursday, another email, this time from the council, telling me they will do an inspection on Friday - yesterday.

    I will hear on Monday what the result is. If an IN is not issued, can I then issue S21 and expect to get it through?

    When is S21 abolished?

    And if I’m forced to get the work done, can I issue a S21 after, before the next repair request comes in?

    lets see 410 x12/ 55000 x 100= 8.9% rounded up to 9% is correct not including overheads of course

    What do you get?

    Did you work out your overheads for being a LL? repairs, insurance, safety compliance costs?

    Did you inspect the work done?

    You are after responsible, the buck stops with you

    Well, the only basic arithmetic I've done is...
    £410 x 12 = £4,920 / £55,000 = 8.95%.

    And since I don't think the difference between 8.95% and 9% is really worth arguing about, I'm open to your alternative facts re-definition of raw yield.

    Over to you, Rachel Riley...

    No questioning your yield calc, just simple income/ expenditure

    Is it possible that the work was in fact done badly, and needs to be fixed?

    It sounds like you haven't actually seen the work yet.

    If that's the case you are talking out your a*rse when you say things like "I don't think its necessary".
