Casual Articles - Buy to Let? New Rules for Landlords
The Romans were the first civilization to sell promissory notes at a discount, beginning the industry of factoring. America was built largely on the possibilities of factoring, when colonial businesses were factored by Europeans willing to invest cash in exchange for the promise of large returns, and government bonds also use the same principles applied by businesses when they engage in invoice factoring.Invoice factoring is, at its simplest, the sale of the right to collect cash owed on your outsta

Buying off-plan is a very popular way of purchasing overseas property these days. As the name suggests, this involves making a commitment to buy a property that has yet to be built. Selling off-plan reduces the investment required to get a project started. This advantage is passed on to the buyer as a discounted price, often significantly below the market value of a similar completed property. The buyer also benefits from any increase in property values during the building period, which can be significant.
Whilst for some lucky students, residency “in hall” may be an option; there is a huge demand for bed-sits, shared apartments or houses. It’s a worrying time for parents and some of the accommodation, particularly in the big University towns, leaves a lot to be desired. Of particular concern are the big, multi storey, buildings occupied by several unrelated tenants and converted into individual self-contained units. Some of these are owned and operated by unscrupulous landlords whose only intention is to pack as many students into as small a place as possible, offering little in the way of comfort or even safety.
New rules are about to alter all that. They will undoubtedly cause problems for the landlords mentioned above, but should help those wanting to join the buy to let market by making these properties more interesting to mortgage lenders, who will see the attraction of well thought out and managed conversion schemes.
At the beginning of this year it was announced that from 5th April 2006 it will be necessary for such properties to be licensed before occupation. This should greatly improve the standard of accommodation. There will be an inspection, concentrating on room sizes, arrangement of accommodation and safety aspects and fire regulations. It will also be necessary for the landlord to produce evidence of acceptable plans regarding the future management and maintenance of the property. The Local Authority will issue the licenses at a cost of around ?100 per individual tenant for a five year licence. There will be a fine of up to ?20,000 for non compliance. The Licence is to be known as a Licence for Multiple Occupation. It will apply to property that is on at least three floors and is let to several unrelated tenants.

The four-year stretchAre you in the middle of the four-year stretch? I am talking about your college career. I’m sure it is piles of homework, but it's better than the "Big House". The main headache of college is the financial side of it. Anyone who has either gone to college knows what I am talking about. Some students have a full scholarship or their parents are paying the bill. But not all are that lucky. The majority of students are dealing with college expenses on their own. Ha

Any commercial market is entirely based on the demand and supply pattern experienced by it. If a market has an invariable demand and it supplies the desired amount, it would become constant. No change in demand and supply model would mean a static market. The market becomes predictable in such a case and all major investors will concentrate at one place while the rest of market would linger untamed. Though this is an illusionist condition and could not happen practically.The major driving force in a

Since the laws have changed in many states, parents around the world are asking what their legal rights are when it comes to children. It depends on the state, but parents have a varying degree of rights.For example, if you have an unruly child and are continuously attending court hearings as a parent, you have the right to terminate your rights to the child. If your child is unruly and constantly getting you in trouble, then you are responsible for paying court fees, fines, and other charges fo

There is another regulation concerning Health and Safety. This is called the Housing Health and Safety Rating System. If a tenant is worried that the condition of the accommodation may be affecting their health in some way, they will be able to ask for an inspection to be carried out. Inspectors will be able to demand repairs and to apply fines to landlords of ?5,000.
The last regulation is regarding the deposit lodged with the landlord when taking out a tenancy. This deposit is normally refunded, provided the property is vacated in a fair condition at the end of the tenancy. Evidence has shown that some landlords refused carry out these refunds giving various dubious reasons for refusal. This, hopefully, is to be resolved by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, which comes into force in October of this year. It is an amendment to the Housing Act of 2004.
It’s proposed that:
· An independent, neutral, scheme administrator is appointed.
· The deposit is held by the administrator.
· At the end of the tenancy, the tenant and landlord have to agree that either the whole or part of the deposit is repayable and inform the administrator of this.
· The scheme administrator must pay the sum/s within ten days, as in the terms of the agreement.
If it has not been possible to come to an agreement and it is necessary for the tenant or landlord to obtain a final court order to decide the proportion
