  1. Firstly it's not a strange question at all - as a landlord it's one of the most common you get. You will be under no obligation to repaint the wall but you will be expected to return the house in a condition similar to the condition that which you received it subject to wear and tear (i.e. things wear out and that is down to the landlord) This means that the walls don't have to be as new but have to be in a 'four year old' condition. For reference, walls are normally repainted every 5 - 7 years. If you can touch them in without it being obvious that should be fine but if there are a lot of them it might be quicker and easier to simply repaint the wall anyway My advice is to read your tenancy agreement and see what it says. I hope this helps.
  2. Thanks for the advice. Interesting about the company and the fact that they have misdescribed themselves - I will see if the buyer is willing for me to post a redacted version of the invoice up hiding any details that could identify them The warranty was included with the car and there has been a claim made on it but this has not covered the cost of the repairs which were covered by two garages on two separate invoices when the first one, directed by the warranty company, were unable to complete the works and the car had to go to a main dealer to be made safe and drivable without being returned. The aim is to understand what, if anything, could be worth pursuing or if there is just a lot of swearing and stamping of feet on this end and it's written down to experience. Not nice when someone is sold a dangerous car.
  3. I am writing on behalf of a friend so do not have all the information but any help on the following would be appreciated. I was looking to help in preparing SARs and a Letter Before Claim to recover costs incurred due to gearbox issues on the car (Fiat 500L Auto) which have now been repaired at not inconsiderable cost following the direction of the selling garage and the warranty company (RAC Warranty through Assurant). However, before preparing the documents I did a Companies House check on the garage to determine who to address the SAR and discovered that they seem to be in liquidation. As such can anyone advise me on the following: As the sales invoice did not have any reference to there being a limited company (other than a possible reference in an email address) can a claim be brought personally against the selling dealers Can any claim be brought against the warranty company to recover costs that would otherwise be the responsibility of the dealer if the dealer is no longer trading as the car would not have been bought without it being sold as assured by them (although they have since denied this) Any help would be greatly appreciated. It was so frustrating that my friend was sold a car that turned out to be dangerous just after the rejection period and ended up without a car for 6 months due to abdications of responsibility by the garage and warranty company. Thanks in advance A n d r e w
  4. I can confirm that S21 is very much still active and in place and I think its potential ending might not be as good for tenants as many think as a number will end up with at fault terminations instead. (but that's another issue). As S21 is a no fault eviction it may be that the landlord is looking to do something else with the property e.g. sell it and is no reflection on the tenant or their conduct. The determination as to whether you remain as a guarantor until the landlord ends it will depend on the terms of what you originally signed. The form I use limits it to the tenancy period and rather than issue an extension I prefer to issue a new agreement but there are examples where extensions can include for the guarantee to be extended and there is nothing (or little) that can be done about it. Be careful with Citizens Advice as they may not be specialist in Tenancy Law
  5. Good news today - got a letter from Horizon Parking saying that they were waiving the charge. Not sure which of my emails did the job but I never actually contacted them directly. Thanks once again for the help.
  6. I have made the changes and sent the email - I wonder what they say Thanks again for all the help.
  7. @FTMDave Thanks again to you and everyone else for your help. I am planning to send the following to GLL / Better (A charity!) to ask for the scammers to be called off: Dear Sirs, I am very disappointed that I, as registered keeper of a vehicle have received a ‘Parking Charge Notice’ from a company called Horizon Parking asking for payment of £85 because the car was in the York Stadium Leisure Complex South Car Park for a period of 2 hours 18 and there was apparently a time limit of 2 hours on the day (18th January 2023). I wish to point out the following: The time on site was spent visiting leisure facilities including the Hollywood Bowl not any football or sporting event (the occupants of the car did not know there was a match on) No signage was clearly visible on the entrance to the car park or the access from the parking to the bowling complex for which the car park serves (about 20m) Your website – which I visited only after visiting the site – states that stewards will be on site on matchdays when this was not the case The Parking Charge Notice sent on your behalf is not legally valid and will be contested if necessary As such I am requesting that you arrange for the cancellation of the parking charge without delay due to the reasons above. I appreciate you can have issues with parking on matchdays but time limits need to be clear and for people such as those in the car who had no issue with following them even out of courtesy. For the avoidance of doubt. This message makes no statement or comment regarding the identity of the person driving the car only the registered keeper. I look forward to your response. Any thoughts on whether this is ok and suitably non-incriminating would be appreciated. Thanks again. A n d r e w
  8. Thanks again. I did call Hollywood Bowl and they are not responsible and did not know who was - I will just wait to see what happens next
  9. Thanks again everyone - just to confirm: Don't appeal Don't contact them Kindest regards and thanks A n d r e w
  10. Thanks @lookinforinfo this is really useful. For info everyone this is the car park.... Car Park.pdf
  11. Well it is the car park right outside their front door and was built with their buildings so the obvious assumption is that they are attached (I doubt the car was more than 20m from their front door)
  12. Thanks again. There was matchday signage in the Vangarde Retail Park clear as day but nothing that I saw suggesting there were any restrictions when driving in and parking and walking to the bowling alley and Costa. I must admit I don't follow York City but if they are getting crowds that mean that parking enforcement then good for them as they have been through a lot over the years. I am going to contact Hollywood Bowl and see what they say as they will want people to linger there as they will want people to stay there i.e. spend money
  13. Hi All, Thanks for the messages. There is apparently a 2 hour limit for match days but I saw no signage between the parking space and the bowling alley / crazy golf where i took my kids. I apparently exceeded this inadvertently even though i had no idea there was a time limit. No time was spent at the football match. @Nicky BoyI have read that on their website too but only after receiving the notice - I mean who reads a parking website before parking outside a bowling alley and cinema complex? That can't be reasonable. Also there were no stewards present whatsoever. I am also curious how it would work if you went to see a film that was over 2 hours long - not uncommon!
  14. Hi I have received a charge notice for this car park and where it does clearly show my car entering and leaving I do not recall seeing any signage informing me of a maximum time to stay or any other restrictions (as clearly visible in the nearby Vangarde Retail Park). For information all time there was in the nearby Hollywood Bowl which the car park serves and the Costa Coffee next to it. A copy of the information received is enclosed. Any information and advice would be greatly appreciated: 1 Date of the infringement 22nd January 2023 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 1st February 2023 3 Date received 7th February 2023 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] No 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No 7 Who is the parking company? Horizon Parking 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] York Stadium Leisure Complex, South Car Park, York For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. POPLA Thanks in advance for your help.
