Have you asked the solicitor themselves about this rumour?

Quote: Hasn't that now been changed? I thought as of a few months back. Directors can register under a service address as opposed to giving their actual residence- the clue is in Quote: . Usually you get their home addresses.

Silverfish are harmless - no health hazard per se. They do, however, like to munch away in the dark, on wallpaper paste, glue in book bindings, your breakfast cereal etc.. Keep the property heated and properly aired, properly clean out the kitchen cupboards and put all dry food stuffs in to plastic containers or tins. Why will it cost you £170 to move out, if that's what you'd prefer to do? If you are on a 6 month Fixed Term and...

The criteria is usually some level of overt desire to get on the housing ladder without realising that shared ownership schemes prop up insane house prices which in turn keeps the house prices insanely high. Shared ownership = yuck. You'd never buy half a mars bar would you. And you'd never dreamed of only owning half a house when you were a kid. The system and house prices suck. save and wait.

Well, the daft sod can't increase the rent either during your 12 month agreement unless the contract specifically states that it can be reviewed. Is there anything in the agreement to this effect? I suspect your landlord may not know what they are doing. Do not agree to anything either verbally or in writing and please come back once you've received that notice in the post.

An S21 is regarded as a 'no fault' notice - the landlord does not have to give a reason for serving the notice. Did you report the problems you experienced to the local council environmental health department or Police? Landlords are not necessarily responsible for resolving neighbourhood issues, such as noisy neighbours and anti-social behaviour anyway. You need to look forward, instead of back, and concentrate on finding your next...

As the others have said, if the landlord supplied it then it's his responsibility to get it fixed. They are supplied, they are not a "bonus" and the LL can't try to suggest they are. Just contact your LL and he'll probably be really good and have a little man there asap.

I'd have thought that you should each have a lease as well as the share of freehold. It will be the terms of the lease that state how costs of repairs are split - this is not necessarily according to the % of freehold you each earn. What does the lease say?

Buildings insurance does not pay out for things that occur as a result of a gradual deterioration in the condition of a property, so unless you can show that e.g. storm damage caused water to get in that wouldn't have done before, you are going to have a job claiming on buildings insurance.

Went to an open viewing today on a property in Sheffield that needs complete renovation. Its in a very desirable area. There were about 50 people viewing this afternoon and the agent told me another 30 booked tomorrow plus whever else just turns up! So I think I will be looking at the joy of sealed bids.
