Why aren't there Floorplans for rentals on Rightmove?
Exactly as the title says. I don't think I've ever seen a rental house with a published floorplan. It would be really useful, especially if you're moving some distance and can't just 'pop over' and take a look! You really can't tell from their photos. A house I knew was huge (all the houses in the road are the same more or…

Admin fee for return of deposit
Hi, Girlfriend's tenancy just ended. They're saying that there's a £30 admin fee for the return of the deposit (£900).

What do I look for when choosing an estate agent?
I am a first time seller and today had three local estate agents around to get valuations. All gave exactly the same price and pretty much the same spiel and so I am finding it really hard to choose which to represent me. First guy was an older guy who was really nice.

How should I tell my landlord that another tenant is breaking their contract?
I moved into a flat about 5 weeks ago and I adore it barring one thing: the bloke in the flat below me smokes like a chimney, and because it's just a converted house, there's free air flow up into my flat, complete with carcinogens. Apart from the fact that it reeks, I'm asthmatic, and my breathing problems have got quite…
