House rental in UK - gaps
Hi
Is anyone renting their house in UK, experienced gaps in tenants and can tell me what should happen with utilities in between tenants? My tenants are vacating in Dec, and I'm refurbishing the property. I have the property fully managed by an agency who are not always on top of things, so seem to need management themselves. I don't particularly want to have to pop back to sort things out if I can avoid it.. Many thanks! :thumbsup: |
Re: House rental in UK - gaps
Utilities and council tax go back into your name (unless you want to disconnect, which is not ideal when you want to re-let the flat). Don't worry, your tenants won't pay a day more than they have to!

Re: House rental in UK - gaps
Check your insurance too as some policies don't cover you if the house is empty for longer than certain time periods.

Cheers for replies, I'm paying full managed service to agency so they should be all over it but don't want to disconnect as it's winter and I'm re-furbishing. I want to avoid flying out - hopefully can do most of this remotely!

Re: House rental in UK - gaps
Check with your council for council tax concessions on empty properties. Our council gave you 6 months without having to pay council tax if the property was un-occupied, as long as it was also unfurnished....and they do check (by coming round and peering through your windows), so shift all your furniture upstairs or keep your curtains closed!
