    Quantity surveyor

    Hi I purchased an ip earlier this year but forgot to get a QS through at purchase time. I wondered if I organise for a QS to come through now would I be eligible to claim for the six months since I purchased it and had tenants or would it only be from the date the QS came through? Thanks

    Offer on property

    Hi Thanks for replying. Would you go through the agent or try to approach them directly. I was thinking that by approaching the owners (if possible) directly the agents fees could be avoided. Depends on the owners I guess.

    PPOR insurance

    Thanks for the feedback, I'm still really curious that so many people recommend cgu for their ip but don't use it for their ppor. I will have a look at aami as well as cgu and will continue to ask around on cgu for ppor insurance. Thanks

    Services to ip

    I have tenants moving into my ip today. I thought I had covered everything however I have forgotten about the services to the ip. Should I have organised a final reading on the gas and electricity, and have had these services cut off for the tenant to have reconnected? Are these the only...

    Tenant demands

    Hi Just an update. We have received another application on the ip and the tenants have requested fly screens on two small windows! It was worth holding on for a more reasonable tenant. Thanks
