Thanks Sarenco, touchy subject raising rents, could trigger a revolt with tenant and seeking this, that the other to be replaced, thus wiping out any gain. I know better the next lease what to include as I nearly got caught for the water charges.
I am always cognisant that any rise only gives a 50% further to the taxman while I get 12.5% W&T per year on replacement items.
House A may come back to me soon enough as tenants are there a few years and will eventually move. In that scenario I will seek to restructure. Key question is, do Central Bank rules apply or ones ICB and repayment history?
