We have reported a number of times in the past about 'disaggregation' – whereby individual units within a property are each charged council tax separately. So, for example, a 7-bed HMO might be charged a Band D council tax charge as a single dwelling but increasingly, they are being re-banded and billed as 7 individual Band A properties.  

We normally discourage attempts to sell to our membership - we all get enough without the PDPLA doing it too, but Neil Shaw of Chinneck Shaw was a long term PDPLA member and his team thought this property, which they have been asked to sell, would suit one of our members.

The other reason we chose to highlight it, is because like many Portsmouth properties, it will be unsellable if PCC's proposed new standards are adopted. 

Do fit induction hobs in your properties when you upgrade them - it reduces gas usage, is cleaner and safer, much easier to clean between tenancies and looks so much better.

BUT - When showing prospective tenants around, do also check whether anyone in the household has a pacemaker and if they do, make sure the individuals concerned know that they cannot safely get within 60cm of the hob when in use.
