Legal Q & As

 

Can we sell alcohol from our home?

My husband and I have been thinking about selling our friend's homemade wine from our garage to friends and neighbours. Is there anything to stop us doing this?

How can I benefit from the Green Deal?

I have recently heard of something called "the Green Deal". What is it, how does it work — and how do I get a slice of the action?

How do I sack my useless letting agent?

I have been renting out a property via a letting agency for about five years. I don't find the service they offer necessary, so I decided to terminate. They don't seem to have any of the documents for my tenants. What should I do?

Can my grandmother keep her dog in her new flat?

My grandmother has just bought a flat with a small courtyard she thought would be perfect for her small terrier. Since moving in she's been told dogs aren't allowed. How can this have happened and what can she do?

How can I speed up receipt of my completion documents?

I completed on my new home in November. Despite repeated prompts to my solicitor I still don't have the final documents. How can I pressure the solicitor to speed things up?

Who should pay to repair my roof?

I am the owner of the top flat in a two-storey building. The roof is in a very bad state and is in need of attention. Is it my sole responsibility or a shared expense with the flat below?
