    Landlord v Agents

    Latest update - the agents have replied to say that my friend isn't bound by the new agreement and has been refunded the additional fees. It just goes to show, never assume that the other guy knows what they are doing or that they have your best interests at heart. The phrase "Trust No One"...

    What global warming?

    True and I think that it's arrogant of the human race to believe that they can change Mother Nature, but by the same token the additional carbon in the atmosphere has been shown to be affecting climate and the acidity of the seas. Man-made or natural? Who can really know for sure but its clear...

    Landlord v Agents

    My friend only has the one house, it was his former home, but I know that he is interested in using it as security for additional buy-to-let properties. Ones that he could manage himself - no agents!!:)

    Landlord v Agents

    Thanks again for your replies. In answer to Richie N the issue is that it wasn't until AFTER the new tenants had moved that my friend became aware that the goal posts had changed and that the agent was trying to impose the new terms of business. As it is thanks to your help my friend has now...

    What global warming?

    As your quoting films, if you haven't yet seen "An Inconvenient Truth" then do so. Maybe a few years old but what was predicted seems to be happening, i.e. extreme weather, melting of the polar ice caps.... I think the term Global Warming can be a bit of a misnomer, you just have to experience...

    Starting Practice

    I thought I would just like to say congrats on getting as far as you have! After 25 years working for someone else I've just started trying to see if if I can do my own thing and am getting overwhelmed by so many accountant firms that look as they do it so much better. I'm finding it very...

    Landlord v Agents

    I think my friends my gripe is that he is paying a not inconsiderable sum for a service which used to include XX but now only includes xx and that the agent has ignored his request for information, prior to the new tenants entering, which could have given him the opportunity of looking around...

    Landlord v Agents

    Hi all A friend of mine has been renting out his house for the last 4 years via a letting agency which deducted its Full Management Fee every month from the rent proceeds. In July the existing tenants gave notice and my friend gave instructions for the agency to look for new tenants. Prior to...

    Rules Governing Director Resignations

    Each has a 3rd share though because the third director Z only has a minor role the income is split 50/50. This is another issue because Y is claiming that PAYE is due on the income even though, the income from contracts was sporadic, was all paid into a joint account, my friend X had no...

    Rules Governing Director Resignations

    Thanks Dispute Resolver it is much as I thought. Its one thing to remove a director for activities relating to their work. Its quite another to remove them because you are no longer in a relationship with them. But what if Y refuses to hold the meetings and gets Z to go along with him? Is...

    A friend and Company Secretary (Director X) of a small limited company has been 'resigned' with notice given to Companies House in retrospect. Is this possible? My friend (X) and her partner (Y) started a service company with one other director (Z) in December 2008. Problems in their personal...

    Resigning as Director of Private Ltd Company

    Thanks Mookgirl, the articles are standard as far as I know remember this was a personal relationship before it became a business so correct company procedures may not have been adhered to when it came to setting up the business. The issue is whether the former partner acted correctly in...
