Pack a “survival kit” so you and your family will be comfortable in the new house until the movers arrive—or until you have the energy to unpack the moving boxes. Major moving companies recommend packing:

1. Kitchen items. Disposable plates, cups, and utensils. Can and bottle openers. Tea and coffee (don’t forget filters and pot), aluminum foil, napkins, paper towels, sponge, and dish soap.

2. Bedroom items. Sheets, blankets, and pillowcases.

3. Bathroom items. Towels, toilet paper, soap, and toiletries.

4. Household items. Flashlights, scissors, light bulbs, trash bags.

5. Tools. Hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, nails, box opener, masking tape, and thumbtacks in case you need to put sheets over the windows as temporary curtains.

6. Personal items. Depending on the timing of your movers’ arrival, it may be useful to take clothing, toiletries, an alarm clock, and other items you’d need overnight.

7. First aid kit.

If you make up the beds as soon as they arrive, you’ll save yourself from having to do this chore when you’re so exhausted all you want to do is go to sleep!

I love maisonettes! This may seem extreme sentiment from a hard bitten landlord and investor and I will explain. But first; a maisonette to the uninitiated is ostensibly a flat, with the unusual feature of having its own front door. This building type seems to have descended from no where during the 1960’s and 70’s to inhabit pockets of our urban landscape. The concept I guess arose out the demand for high density small unit accommodation, suitable for a low-rise environment. The result is that they have little or no garden, but in the...

Rental period confusion One of the most confusing aspects of letting out a property is calculating the final rent payment.

This quaint system means that we have a series of months of varying lengths from 28 day to 31 days and then just to confuse things even more we even have one month that doesn’t know whether it is 28 or 29 days long! ...
