I concur with the comments on here where people have said about getting professional advice ASAP as there are strict time limits and various legal points on succession. With all things such as this the first place to have a good look is the tenancy agreement. If you take professional advice...

You can check with the information the Land Registry have, some of these are detailed on the Land Registry Title of the property itself. There are also liability searches that solicitors are able to do for you. In addition, there is an ability to purchase insurance against chancel repair...

@YorkshireAndrew Thank you for tagging me in this. As ever, below is not professional advice and is not to be relied upon but hopefully the information may give you a guide to what you need to be looking at when seeking help... This is a very interesting one as generally Council tenancies...

Good morning, thank you for tagging me in this as it's an interesting one. Obviously I can only speak generally here about FBTs and this does not constitute any form of advice. By law a FBT of 2 years or less technically ends with the 'effluxion of time' this means it just ends. No notices have...

Sorry- have seen this a bit late! Hope you found the info you were looking for! JP

Hello, yes- as others have said- what an agent charges usually depends on the level of work / time that they need to put in to it. It depends on the scheme you look to go in to as to whether agents fees are included in the grant funding. Quite often they are targeted with the fact that the...

obviously this is very site and location specific, but the following based on my experience in Northamptonshire... One school of thought, fairly traditional, is that the grazing + BPS is the rent. If we are at about £85 for BPS we get a rent of £150, but that seems fairly steep for pasture. The...

I wrote a blog about the differences between the different agreements that may be of interest: https://blondeagadvisor.wordpress.com/2014/11/20/what-are-the-differences-between-tenancies-licences-profit-a-prendre-contract-farming-and-share-farming/ JP

For BPS you need to be in management control of the property, a licence does not give you management control. If have a licence that allows you to do all that management, then technically it is going to be a tenancy but not with the right paperwork. With the tenancy you will also ensure that you...

A licence is not a tenancy. To be a tenancy, occupation has to be 'for a term, for a rent, with exclusive possession'. Therefore continuous occupation rather than having a break may show 'exclusive possession'. However there are various ways around this, for example sharing occupation with the...

Hi there, yes- do send a PM! JP

Hello, in brief this is a very technical area and you should seek advice. As long as you have had exclusive possession of the property it is likely that you have had a tenancy, not a licence. If you can prove back to 88 then you would likely have an AHA agreement with tenure for your lifetime...

Thank you for the tag! This will be of interest: https://blondeagadvisor.wordpress.com/tag/retirement/

Still online transfers, not much movement at the moment on trading, usually hots up as we get towards the deadline. JP

This depends on whether you have an FBT or AHA tenancy? If AHA and you didn't have permission from the landlord to do it would likely be a fixture. JP
