Problem Tenants. Update for Landlords.
For a lot of Landlords having a problem Tenant in your property can be a headache. Whether you have one or two properties or a portfolio of residential properties you may be unlucky with letting to a Tenant who is not paying the rent on time or refuses to leave your property when the Tenancy Agreement expires.

You or your loved ones could be eligible for help with Care Home Fees.

Good news for Landlords
Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) report on the steady rise of rents, but beware of the pitfalls – keep up to date with changing laws.
