Personally I'd view the renewal of a gas safety certificate as an emergency requirement. Emergencies allow the landlord & or workmen to enter the property to carry out safety/ emergency work.
 
Thats what I'd do but others may have a different view.

Right, got one last complexity on this! The gas cert is about to expire, the previous one was sent to the tenant but I'm fretting that she may claim she never received it and deny me access to renew it before court day..... Am I right in presuming that should she take such a course of action the court will only look at the rent arrears or could this bd s major spanner in the works? I now have no contact with the tenant so getting this gas cert renewed could be a headache! ]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:51:22 +0000 http://www.landlord-forum.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4648&PID=24463#24463 Buy to Let Finance & Taxation : HM Revenue & custom - how much uk rental income .. http://www.landlord-forum.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4779&PID=24462#24462 Author: Richlist

Marco,
I think the best thing is for you to get an accountant to deal with it for you.

Hello everybody!

Thanks a lot for your replies

About the property I bought in uk the last December, the letting agency is managing it

The rental income has started from the 27/04/2010

I filled the form to get the NRL1 and the P85 being a no-resident landlord

Now I received a self assessment – notice to complete a tax return for year ended 5 April 2010

Basically till the 5 April 2010 I didn’t receive anything

Do you think I need to fill it even if I filled the others?

Thanks a lot

marco

What you write about is called 'flea cover' or maybe flee cover, I don't know where the name derives.
 
It is usual that only basic risks are covered in an unoccupied property, and sometimes with an amazingly high premium.
 
A couple of days ago I learned that AXA are covering for 180 days empty period. There is also employers liability to £5m. Specifically designed with the investor who can experience long voids (like me). I don't know if the cover would be applicable for your situation.
 
The problem is that I waited 6 minutes listening to crappy music before an operative was available. When I pointed this out his response was that if I didn't like to wait I could go to the internet instead. This sounded like a f.o. response to me.
I then had concerns about the response if I were in need to make a claim. This response here took 8 minutes. From experience a claim can result in many calls and internet service won't be available for this. Spending my life on the phone listening to Green Sleeves when there are other priorities outstanding can be very frustrating.
 
Maybe Ashburnam has interest in this as I also have several properties in need of renewal.

Julles,
The new Metro bank are charging £100 a year but I don't know how big the boxes are. The problem with them is that they only have one branch in London at the moment and I wouldn't want to travel into London just to access my box.
 
Even properties with mortgages can build up lots of valuable documents. Very often I end up with a pack of legal docs that the mortgage company & land registry don't want but which may be very usefull when selling the property. In addition there are often guarantees, Fensa certificates etc etc.
 
I have accounts with Lloyds, RBS & HSBC so I'll post back on my findings.

What happens when we have just fitted eg new kitchen/boiler/bathroom and someone gets in and damages or steals them? 
you won't be covered and that could cost you  pretty penny
 
The policy we have been quoted excludes such claims - should we look elesewhere?
I would otherwise whats the point of insuring if your not covered.
don't forget if you want to change your policy further down the line to include these things the company your with will probably charge you a cancellation fee,so will cost more in the long run.
why not get a policy now at the begining to cover all your needs
