Thanks for the quick response..

I'm not sure of the answer to this. If a tenant signs a 12 month tenancy agreement and decides to leave without agreement before the tenancy is up. Is the tenant then responsible for the remaining rent and community charge?
-
Sound advice.. it's not an ideal situation and not one I would have chosen but I'll just have to see what transpires.. regarding the deposit I'll have to sort that out.. It's with the tenants deposit scheme so I need to look in to that. Thanks for showing an interest...

Hi all, my tenants are splitting up after Xmas. The current lease is in the ladies name and she is moving out. The guy wants to carry on renting the property..When they moved in in August 2021 I fixed the rent for three years and this is in the lease..Can I just swap the names round on the lease or will I have to start again with a new lease? Thanks in advance..
-
Ok thanks...I'll just submit my return without a spreadsheet and if they ask I'll worry about it then.. regards

Thanks for the comprehensive reply. One more question"...........is there a excel spreadsheet for landlords expenses that I could use..I'm not sure if HMRC require one or not.. thanks in advance

Ok thanks for the info.. yes the leaky boiler had a gas safety certificate.. I had it done when I purchased the property..I replaced it before the full time tenants moved in.. regarding the garage......when I bought the property, the wooden fascia on both ends of the garage were rotten and the next door neighbours complained it looked unsightly..so I replaced the wooden facia with upvc to make it look better.. thanks for the reply

Thanks for replying..I bought in December 2020..I let the people I bought it from stay there for a nominal rent until their new house was ready.. They left in May 2021.. I then carried out repairs including decorating, new carpets, replaced the old leaking boiler and repaired the structure of the twin garage..once the house was ready I let it to permanent tenants in August 2021.. thanks in advance

Thanks. If I claim the £1000 allowance can I still claim for the repairs, decorating and replacement boiler?

Hi everybody, I bought a property to rent out and now I’m doing my self assessment tax return. Can I claim tax relief on the solicitors conveyances fees? thanks in advance
-
I’ve done as you suggested and the tenant seems happy enough.. the locksmith will fit a new locking mechanism when he gets the correct one. thanks much appreciated
-
It would have been helpful if they had mentioned it as they only live two doors down and I see them everyday. To make matters worse no one can get me a new gearbox for the door so I’m going to have to get the whole mechanism changed.
-
They did say it had been getting harder to lock recently…however it’s the gearbox that operates the door locks that has gone..I’ll go and see if I can get a new one and fit it myself What could possibly go wrong !
-
The reason I was enquiring is because the patio door lock snapped on Friday night and I’ve had to fit some sash jams to make the property secure..I’m going to attempt to fit a new lock on Monday and if that fails I’ll have to get someone round to sort it out. I’d be happier if I had insurance.. thanks for the replies
