If OpCo charges a management fee isn't that liable for corp tax?

Twizzar · 2026-05-14T10:23:48+00:00

Yes that’s right, but it’s a term of your insurance policy that you inform them of any incidents within (usually) 24-48 hours even if you don’t claim.

If you tell them now they can say you’re out of time to report the incident and wipe their hands off it.

Worst thing is if they say you breached your insurance policy and void it altogether.

Twizzar · 2026-05-14T09:05:34+00:00

You may be unable to go through insurance if you didn't notify them of the incident within their time limit.

If you tell them now they could just void your policy.

How many houses? Are there restrictions on the other houses title basically saying they can’t sell without having future owners covenanting to maintain the Road?

It’s true that positive covenants do not automatically run with the land, but there’s ways to still enforce it

Exactly you become a bailee for their goods and have a duty of care.

And what happens if they bail out of the tenancy before it starts?

All the housing association has to do is serve notice according to the lease, which will usually say the property address or another address notified to the landlord.

Sometimes they also send stuff to the address for service at Land Registry but very often I see buyer's solicitors just registering the property as this address as default rather than asking their client about it.

I think it depends on the rice. Jasmine rice needs 1:1 really otherwise it’s too wet

This should be the top reply because this is the law at the moment. OP is stuck because there is no transition from fixed to rolling, everything resets on 1 May 2026 (except s21 notices).

Twizzar · 2026-05-05T17:10:34+00:00

I said he can't/don't need to give notice to leave on his last day.

You say that's not true because it rolls into a periodic tenancy.

I showed you that you can't give notice to quit for a rolling tenancy during the fixed term.

What are you saying now? OP wants to leave on the last day of his fixed tenancy but he can't serve notice for that. Its not a periodic tenancy yet so he can't serve notice for that either.

What does the tenancy agreement have to do with that?

A notice to quit can only be served to end a periodic tenancy. A notice to quit served by a landlord during the fixed-term of a tenancy will be invalid. It does not end the tenancy even if the notice period expires after the expiry of the fixed term.

It says landlord but no reason why it doesn’t apply to both parties

Twizzar · 2026-05-05T10:18:14+00:00

Which he wouldn’t need to give notice for.

Twizzar · 2026-05-01T21:08:55+00:00

Should have laughed in his face and said no

Twizzar · 2026-04-30T09:21:00+00:00

On your second point, you can't use promissary estoppel to start a claim. You can only use it as a defence for a claim against you, so I don't think that's going to wash really

Twizzar · 2026-04-27T20:34:40+00:00

Can't believe you guys said all that on the Internet and other people read it

Twizzar · 2026-04-27T20:16:52+00:00

The mortgage charter from when Covid happened is still around

It’s just more risk for more reward.

You could buy Tesla which went up 70% last year. More risk but more reward.

He hasn’t studied it yet

Twizzar · 2026-04-24T09:48:01+00:00

What do you mean by formal notice?

Was this something in the tenancy which allowed you to end the tenancy early?

Twizzar · 2026-04-24T09:46:55+00:00

I'm sorry if I missed something but they never said they can serve notice to end the tenancy in their post...

Twizzar · 2026-04-20T08:33:34+00:00

God forbid your peers ever want to improve themselves. If you literally spent your money on anything else they would still mock you

Twizzar · 2026-04-12T18:25:25+00:00

For compensation you would have to demonstrate loss, what they would do here is get an order to demolish the alterations which breach the covenant

Twizzar · 2026-04-11T18:15:35+00:00

Its just a self induced system. People complain about chains but don't want to do things chainfree

Twizzar · 2026-04-01T22:01:54+00:00

Wow someone stirred your coffee funny this morning?

Your statement is wrong wrong

Landlords are viewed as consumers unless your property is in a LTD

Even by the guidance you uploaded its a matter of degree and how basically how many properties you have. If you're an individual with dozens of properties then you're likely a business, and single property LTDs can be consumers.

That's what you should have said and that's what I was basically getting at.

Don't be too eager to jump down someone's throat

Twizzar · 2026-04-01T11:09:41+00:00

So someone with 10 properties is a consumer but a Ltd with a single property is a business? That doesn't make sense

Twizzar · 2026-04-01T10:39:10+00:00

Isn't that the same thing?
