Hi,
This maybe a bit long winded but would really appreciate a few of peoples insights and advice on the issue am having with my property at the moment.
i have a small two up two down property on the wirral in birkenhead, had it roughly two year now, first year i accepted guarenteed rent for first 12 months, and now the guarnteed is over is where my problems are.
Ive had two tennants (housing benefit) first tennant left property in a state and now the tennant who has just left has left it even worse, filled my backyard up with household waste to just below the window (letting agency said they would get her a bin and never did) but still a bit excessive and also smashed my window inside for good measure, oh and obviously not been paying rent since shes been there.
letting agency who ive used for both tennants hasnt collected a deposit, nightmare to get hold of at time and because of the latest tenant not paying her rent even when i was still on the guarenteed at the time didnt send me a contract through to go onto the normal rental contract of them taking 10% every month.
This has been my first investment property but thinking with all the trouble ive had with it is to just cut my losses sell it and recoup my money maybe a bit more and start again.
Any views would be appreciated and thanks for reading it all if you got down that far
