Renting & Real Estate - January 2007

I've just moved into a property with tons of bills from the previous tenant. I've written on them No longer at this address, please return to sender on them and put them in the postbox. But am worried that I'm going to have the bailiffs calling!! Does anyone know what happens to this, how will they track the previous tenant? Will I be liable for this?? Help!!

Hi i have put in an offer on a house which was accepted but the owners of the house have a family friend who is trying to buy the property they have until tomorrow to get there things together otherwise we can get it.
My only concern is that after we start paying out for checks and solicitors etc that that family friend might turn around and say actually i can do it and the seller pull out with us.
Is there anything i can do to help keep them with us if this does happen, i was thinking of offering a cheque of £1000 and letting them know now that i would it give over on completion as an incentive to stick with us, is this allowed and is it the right thing to do? any help would be great :)

I was buying a house on contract from someone who passed away recently. His daughters got the house and the contract was changed to where I would pay them. Since then they have signed the house over to me by a quit claim deed. Now they have changed their minds and want me to give the house back so they can collect money. Legally do I have to sign it back over? They want to get the house back, evict me, and resale.

I have excellent credit (high 600-low 700) but no job. My husband has poor credit (mid-high 500 but has things in collections because of his ex-wife) but he has a good job. We'd like to buy a house. However, they only look at my credit and require 15% down, a PMI, and 7-8 % interest rate. When they do it this way, they don't look at my husbands income. Is there another way?

Our realitor took our property off the market without my consent or signing a agreement to the affect it would be done. We have a signed legal contract to have the property listed for 6 months. The property has been listed for 4 months and it has been a hassle the whole time. He wouldnt let us know what was going on with the property we would have to call his boss to get in touch with him and then he'd say he never got a call from us and then he told his boss we bug him to much we call all hours of the day and even on holidays which is not true. Now he takes the property off the market and i dont even know about it? Is there something legally i could do?

Hiya everyone,
My boyfriend & I are planning to move out of student accommodation and want to try renting apartment starting summer. We are interested in an apartment (rent is around 450-500 pounds per month, ex. bills). I have always stayed in a students accommodation, bills included in the rent (70 - 90 pounds per week).
I wonder how much do I have to pay overall per month for the apartment, including bills etc. It will be based on two persons sharing, and we basically:-
- take shower regularly (1-2 times a day)
- use electric heater regularly
- cook everyday
- use internet for research & work purposes
How much do you think it will cost for water bills (cooking, shower, laundry), gas (cooking and heating), electricity (tv, computer, lighting) and broadband . Is there any taxes that I have to pay ie council tax? I asked some of my friends and they said that the bills sometimes comes in once in 3 months.
I would appreciate your advice on how to save on the bills.

Many, many thanks!

First of all, what is distressed property anyway? Is it just property that has been seized because the owners haven't paid their mortgages?

Secondly, what do I need to have in order to purchase distressed property? I don't want to buy, fix it up, and sell it; I just want to buy it for myself (fix it up of course).
