OK lots to do. On the back of this I've chatted with the tenant. He wants a nice home to live in. I want him to have a lovely home to live in. I did mention to him that he is currently paying £500 per month. A neighbouring property is currently being marketed at £600. Depending on your maths this is 20% below the current market rate. So, time for a rental increase. He agrees with the logic. So we have reached a rental compromise of £550. My tenant gets and improving home, I get a bit more rent and some of the capital cost back in rent. Given that he agrees I can just issue a new tenancy agreement rather than going through the rigmarole of issuing a section 13 notice.
A score draw possibly?!
