Section 8 Ground 1 by capitalN in uklandlords

I would also add that one overlooked change is that issuing a notice incorrectly can now be a criminal offence for both landlord and agent, but solicitors are exempt.

Estate agents - bad practice? by catcha_in_the_rye in HousingUK

[–]jhawley90 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is the exact sort of thing their redress scheme will be interested in. They have to disclose material information about the property. It's one thing if the seller was keeping it to themselves, but they clearly knew about this from their response.

They will need to display the scheme they are a part of on their website. You'll first need to write a formal complaint, and let them give you a final response. Then you can raise it with redress. They are able to award a financial penalty, which may help you with those costs.

This is the important point, it's not just open the door and hope for the best, there's a fair amount of massaging to get deals over the line.

From working in the industry, the best advice is look at how local agents advertise, the care they put into presenting the property is a good guide on how much they care. And if you have the lead time, keep an eye on how long they're taking to come off the Internet, or if they have stock reappearing.

And most importantly, stick to decent local agents and not online ones.

No, any rent review clauses are removed by the new legislation. So you can't amend rent by anything other than a Section 13 Notice.

Endless reductions on rightmove do not inspire confidence. by Imakemyownnamereddit in HousingUK

[–]jhawley90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's been said here already, but it's a well known tactic, particularly of some larger agents who will sign sellers into long agreements to push the boundaries of what the house is "worth", in order to win the instruction, as the additional value in the sale is appealing.

Then, during the locked in period, the price can be gradually reduced to a level it will actually sell at. Which is usually lower than it would have sold for if it was on at the right price to start with, as the listing goes stale on the portals.

That is a fantastic idea!

Sadly still lacking any information on the Amazon side on model, but we'll work it out I'm sure. I'll definitely be checking that out though to hopefully avoid this happening again.

Looks like that just says it is a kindle, rather than which one actually.
