Hmm,where to start?
Dmother(74) bought another house without telling, rightly so she doesnt have to. However she expected me to rent it. Ok cut a long story I spent 3months and 16k of DH and mine savings to bring said house up to scratch. Rented it from April 06 to Dec 06 with no problem. Then as we were relocating abroad I got an agent to rent the house. All went well for the first 2 months - March and April 07. Since then no money!!!! I am on the otherside of the world and the agent will not take my calls, no one in the office will answer me or my emails. I dont know what to do or who to ask for help. Everywhere i search for information it all seems to be about protecting tenants, I wouldnt mind but mine lived in a virtually perfect house. I say virtually because it wasnt brand new anymore but it was redecorated, garden fixed, etc. Tenant was credit vetted (cost me extra). I dont know who the tennant is or how to approach them, if I am allowed. In August when back in UK, agent said the bailif had been sent but couldnt get in. We asked what happened now, they said no prob they would try again. I just dont understand how the agent can do this to me, just ignore me, my calls and emails?
What can I do except get on a plane which I cant really afford as subbing the b£$%^y mortgage at the mo.
Any advice please? I will also post in property.
Thanks for anything
