Hippogriff Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I have to assume the buyer could want it as a home for themselves though....in which case what are my rights as a tenant. Do the new buyers have to see out my 10 month remaining tenancy or would they have to give me the statutory 8 week notice??? If you are in a fixed term it is as binding on the Landlord as it is on you. If the property is sold to a new Landlord they just step into the shoes of the current Landlord. Your tenure will not be affected unless by mutual agreement. Rest easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (Sigh) There is NO stamp duty on land/property, only on stocks/shares. The SD rate of 0.5% is unchanged. Stamp Duty Land Tax is an entirely different tax- different in its application, rates, the lot! See https://www.gov.uk/stamp-duty-land-tax/overview Was anyone confused by calling it stamp duty, and not STLD? With regards to purchasing houses I've never heard anyone actually call it STLD. Using the correct term doesn't alter what I said. 2nd houses, be that for BTL or any other reason, now attract an additional 3% tax on the purchase price.

Hippogriff Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I've never heard anyone actually call it STLD. Probably because that isn't what it's called, to be fair. It's not Sexually Transmitted Land Duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjames Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Get what money back? For the contract renewal? There are no grounds for getting any money back here. There is. Through the bank. For contract renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Do you believe that the contract has been cancelled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjames Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Do you believe that the contract has been cancelled? That's what the OP said. It's on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 You don't know much about assured shorthold tenancies do you, nor have you read the replies to the OP. Post number 4 spells it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
