Renting & Real Estate - January 2007

A friend of mine received an eviction notice for unpaid rent. The notice stated that things could be resolved if he paid the back rent, the current months rent, and all attorney’s fees. My friend paid this to the sum total of $1900.00 (the back rent he owed was only $625). Two days later he received a notice from the landlord that he still had to vacate the unit. Does my friend have any rights in this matter?

Our apartments recently got bought and got converted to condos. We were allowed to stay in them an extra year because they were not selling. Now we may have the opportunity to stay in them another year. We also have the option of moving into a townhouse for $200 more a month. All in all I think it would be an additional $300 more amonth with utilities. Both places are really nice...the townhouse is just double the size. What do you think?

I'm about to sign a contract for a coop with the seller. Here are my two questions:

1. Do I have to pay all the downpayments when signing the contract? Or can I pay a portion of it when I sign the contract and the rest of it at the closing? What do people normally do?

2. Can I still negotiate the price after I sign the contract?

I'm hoping to buy a house soon, and have been in touch with a mortgage advisor.

He's found me a mortgage. I wanted to get a repayment mortgage because it's easy to understand: "after 25 years I will have paid off the loan, and I will own my house."

Unfortunately the "repayment" repayments are a little more than I can afford so I may be forced to get an interest only one.

The mortgage is fixed for 5 years and is fully flexible, meaning i can over-pay if I have enough money.

Now, here is the bit I don't 100% understand:

Lets say the "repayment" repayments are £900 and the "interest only" repayments are £700

At the end of my 5 year period if I wanted to "upgrade" to a repayment mortgage, but had just been paying £700 a month, will I be £12,000 short? (5 years of £200 a month short)

If so, do lenders let you pay this off and "clear the slate"?

Also, if I managed to pay £800 a month for 5 years would I only be £6,000 short?

Any additional info would help too!

I've always been interested in selling real estate, but have been apprehensive because of the lack of benefits. Foxtons advertises a $35,000 base salary, company car, cell phone, laptop, and leads. I understand that if they offer this, then the commission end would more than likely be less than a traditional real estate agent. If you work for them, how long have you been in real estate, and how long have you been with them? What is realistic first year income for someone with solid sales skills? If you don't have your real estate license, will they allow you to work while you get it? I have worked my whole life in a commission environment, but have always been given a base salary of at least $35,000 so it interests me as a way to enter the real estate game, and I'd just like some feedback :-)

My estate agent has said that they hold the deposit, but that it is held in a non interest bearing account. Do I believe them? This could amount to hundreds of thousands of pounds for them. Why would they hold it in a non interest bearing account?

Are there any rules on this in the UK?
