Is it possible your landlady is illegally subletting and is a council tenant herself? How does one even find this info out?

Some of that info may be out of date now - there's a lot to plough through here but if you search on google thus - MP "8 Land and Property" site:theyworkforyou.com - it comes up with the latest info...

Here you go - http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=153979&st=0

ummm... gps?

regarding the studio - from the floorplan there don't even appear to be any doors or walls separating the toilet. Basically they're asking someone to play 60 odd grand for the fabulous opportunity to live in a large toilet. Insanity.

well done man are there records of which MPs own btl ? the vested interest in proping up property prices surely must be cause for discussion??

Does anyone know what happens to your deposit if your Letting Agent closes down? Should I be worried??

Was it this one in what looks to be called Stabbing House?? http://www.findaproperty.com/displayprop.a...p;agentid=00361 Technically not actually Notting Hill of course, unless you are findaproperty in which case it is....

Have you all seen the delightnul Judith's personal site - http://www.jwipb.co.uk/default.asp - some examples of what you'll find there: Judith Wilson’s simple guide to property investment The Golden Rule The number one rule is: Never use your own money. Judith pays careful attention to the financial pages, so she can anticipate movements in the interest rate. All her mortgages are fixed rate interest-only. Judith believes that because there are not enough properties in the UK to meet housing demand, that there is never a wrong time to buy property. It is important to remember that you are buying property as an investment. What is important to a vendor may be inconsequential to the property investor. Judith feels that it is important to be flexible over the tiny things, such as fixtures and fittings, to secure the sale. Judith looks to buy houses that people will want to rent, and will increase in capital value. She specialises in 2–3 bedroom houses, as larger houses do not make the same capital gain of smaller houses. Her portfolio contains a ratio of different types of properties, which reflects the demand in the rental market. Judith credits her property investment success in part to keeping abreast of developments in the housing market and interest rates. To that end, she reads the financial pages of a wide variety of newspapers and websites to form her own opinion of likely future developments, as opinions and forecasts can differ vastly amongst the experts.
