    Making a Conditional Offer

    I have seen a unit I'm interested in, but it's currently tenanted. I need to check the electrics to make sure that they can be adapted to my needs. However, it requires the electricians to be there all day checking everything, and since it's tenanted, I can't get anyone to do the checks...

    Customer Toilets

    It's a cafe, so that's why it's an important part of the business model. The centre has disabled toilets. It's cost prohibitive to install toilets up into the main floor of the unit I'm interested in.

    Customer Toilets

    Random, I know. I have seen a space to rent, but the toilets are downstairs in the basement. The stairs to the basement are steep and concrete. I'm concerned about customers falling down the stairs, and hurting themselves. The current tenants have had that problem previously, but the people...

    When do you pay rates?

    I have heard that if you lease a place, and if the rent is less than £12k (approx), rates are not applicable? Is that correct? What about if a unit is sublet, who then pays the rates?

    Tax Refund Status

    I'm using Xero for payroll, and I told Zero previously that this employee is no longer working for me. They don't show up in the list of current employees. However, they show up in the list of employees to pay this month and are due a tax refund with zero hours. I will of course give them the...

    The unit I was originally interested in was vacant, but they had someone else willing to go into that unit immediately, without doing any works. However, the agents said they had a neighbouring unit to offer, but it's not vacant. It's being used for a support group. I have asked for photos, or...

    I really wouldn't say so, most of our customers research us online. I would say it's rare that someone popped in just because they saw us, then and there. Our old/current location, we had been there 20 years, so people know of our location. If we were moving to a busier part of town, we would...

    Business Electricity

    I'm trying to get business electricity quotes, but most website wants you to phone them. Are there any providers, or comparison websites that offer online quotes?

    I've been offered a shop from a local shopping centre for dirt cheap, for a year, because they are likely to redevelop that area in the next year and the unit is a bit of a dump. The unit is located outside, so has its own en, the unit is empty and just want bums on seats for the next year...

    Should I Be Chasing?

    I broke my lease using a break clause earlier in the year. I was asked by the managing agents, to stay past the break date and trade in the building, rent free until they had someone else officially lined up, which was only a matter of time (I found the new tenants for them). However...

    Payrun. Employee 0 hours, but £200 in PAYE tax to pay.

    Maybe you're right, it's a tax refund. It's saying: Total Employee Taxes -268.60

    Payrun. Employee 0 hours, but £200 in PAYE tax to pay.

    I did so monthly, as that was the pay period.

    Payrun. Employee 0 hours, but £200 in PAYE tax to pay.

    I was just sorting out payroll using Xero, and Xero is telling me that I have to deduct £200 from their wage despite them working 0 hours this month. They were previously on furlough.

    Who Is Responsible for the Electricity?

    Nick, I e-mailed the agents, asking "With me giving the keys and fobs to the contractors, and the new tenants, am I still the tenant at xxxx? Is there a change of tenancy, required?" They replied saying: "No change needed, you exercised your break clause." I replied: "That's great. Has the...

    Who Is Responsible for the Electricity?

    I phoned the supplier just before I posted this, this is why I'm asking what to do next. The landlord's agents said for me to give the keys to the contractors and to the new tenants. So I did. I also gave them the fobs for the alarm system as well (still in my name). They gave me free...
