Re: Buy property in joint names?

I don’t know.

On the one hand, I suppose the owner of the UK property could argue that they have no access to it, can’t enjoy it as a holiday home, and so can’t use it as a base whenever...

Re: Buy property in joint names?

Bob,

It’s now 2-1 in favour of having to pay notional rental income tax on a vacant UK property.

Just found this paragraph from Blevins Franks:

“This notional rental income also applies...

Re: Buy property in joint names?

Thanks for the replies, Bob. Much appreciated.

Yes, I read about that imputed UK rental income a long time ago on a now defunct blog. Can’t find it anywhere.

Re: Buy property in joint names?

Re: Comparing Gestor Prices for form 720

Hi Bob

Yes, I'm aware that if the property was less than 50k euros when purchased, it doesn't have to be declared. I admit, this is where I get confused with the 720:- you could have purchased...

Re: Irish Passport ? Obligations of Irish Citizenship ?

riv,

If you're entitled to an Irish passport through your Irish parents or grandparents, you don't apply for, or "obtain", Irish citizenship - you're already an Irish citizen.

Re: Tenant Eviction Nightmare -Part 2

It's the logistics and time taken to get anything installed in the flat that's the problem, given that DOWNANDOUT's stuck in the UK and, as yet, has no contact in Spain to help him out.

Re: Tenant Eviction Nightmare -Part 2

Security doors come with certified ratings - the higher the rating, the more impenetrable, and the more you pay.

A good one is tested against entry using a gas torch, scissor jack, pad saws,...

Re: Tenant Eviction Nightmare -Part 2

Hi DOWNANDOUT,

I was thinking that you ask a gestor for help - them being able to give you recommendations for a reliable, trustworthy keyholder to do the checks. A security firm doing that job...

DOWNANDOUT,

I do hope your worries come to nothing and it's just your battle-weary mind playing with you.

You mention employing someone to check on the flat every week. Correct me if I'm wrong,...

Re: Roof terrace

Rosemary

I forgot to add that until you speak to the builder, you obviously won't know about the waterproofing system beneath the tiles - or if there is one.

Until then, if you can't see any...

Re: Roof terrace

Rosemary,

It's quite possible that it isn't a build issue at all. It could be that the pointing (the concrete/grout between the tiles) has aged over the past 9 years and showing signs of...

Thanks for the CAB link, Fred.

This bit was interesting:

"Basically all residents have always been entitled to healthcare if not insured due to employment or S1."

Re: Take action against noisy neighbours before we rent flat out?

The accoustic ceiling you've fitted is only ever intended as an additional barrier to an accoustic insulation system. As you've found out, used in isolation, the results can be disappointing.
