Hope someone can help with this and apologies if any of this was answered previously.
A landlord with a 3 bed property wants to do a whole house renovation, no PP required as no structural alterations or extensions. When the renovation is finished his options are to re-let or to sell. He wants to make sure he does everything correctly, he knows the tenants will have to move out for health & safety reasons because the house and garden will be like a building site and will have no heat, no kitchen, no bathroom, days without windows, workmen and builders tools on the premises etc etc. The builder will be on site for several months. The problem is the landlord doesn't know if he should give a NoT for renovation purposes or a NoT for sale.
If it's for renovation , he can get the cert from the architect to comply with the RTB but he's not clear about offering the tenants the option to re-occupy.
The NoT for renovation has to specify the dates the works will be done and the duration. However, builders never seem to finish on time so what happens if there are delays and the renovation takes longer than the estimated time.? Is he obliged to re-let the house and is there a time limit on when that has to happen after the work is finished?
If he decides not to re-let the renovated property, can he put it for sale? In that case, should the NoT be because he is selling and not because of renovation.
Any information appreciated.
