Q:Hi
Am looking at a new developmen of apartments. It is a shared development. One builder uses the timber frame method and one uses brick and block.

Q:We have had an offer accepted on a house where the owners were "prepared to move out" according to the EA.

Q:Mr Soo and I have a rental property that was let out last summer, after just a few months the tenant stopped paying rent and all the default and other notices were served on him. Last week the tenant did a moonlight flit so our letting agents arranged to have all the locks changed and we are going down later today to confirm the property is in good order ready to be let out again.
My question is whether the letting agents are likely to charge us for their fees for the 4 months the r
Q:the freeholder appointed a new management company and out of the blue we get a letter for £700 in service charges. There's nothing to repair as the place is in good nick. I reckon the new management company are pulling a fast one and I'll tell them to get lost.
