You own the bricks and mortar but not apparently the ground on which they stand according to the small print of the purchase. This gives the landlord who continues to own the ground a chance to increase the rent annually. If it is a development of several flats or homes where there are shared amenities like a garden or grounds then upkeep could account for the rent. However rogue companies have been using this loophole to charge escalating amounts of money each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one case highlighted in the Daily Mail this month Carole Patterson in London was expected to pay a ground rent which doubled every&nbsp;five years. Within 50 years of signing the purchase she would be paying a million pounds annually for no benefit. Sadly cases like Carole\u2019s have become common and some of the worst culprits are well known developers building homes on a large scale. They see it as an easy way to make cash without having to provide a service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government have been aware of the scam for years and have promised to introduced legislation to reform the practice next year. In the meantime if you want to avoid the trap when you buy a home do a Checkaco on the builder or landlord and ensure you read the small print when you sign a contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get the low down on any firm or individual for \u00a37.95 at&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/checkaco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/checkaco.com\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"694\" src=\"https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Anna-Tims-1024x694.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Anna-Tims-1024x694.png 1024w, https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Anna-Tims-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Anna-Tims-768x520.png 768w, https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Anna-Tims.png 1117w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Staycation deposits<\/strong><br>With huge numbers of UK citizens opting for a staycation this year due to restrictions on foreign travel there\u2019s been a growing concern over British holiday companies upping their prices and worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna Timms in the Guardian highlighted the issue of lost deposits where a booked and paid for holiday in advance is suddenly declared to be unavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She wrote of one case in reply to one reader who lost \u00a3900: \u201cI hope your experience doesn\u2019t herald a repeat of last July when Cottages.com, and sister company Hoseasons, cancelled and resold the bookings of scores of customers, including one by author Michael Rosen.

One issue that has been highlighted is where a potential new owner goes to a shared stud to look and choose a horse and when satisfied pays a deposit to the owner. The money however is not always paid to the stud but to a private person who may simply use the stabling facilities at the stud \u2013 or worse have a connection with the stud or its staff which allows them to give the impression they represent the stud. Before paying any cash it is essential to run a credit check on the seller rather than trusting the stud is the owner which may have nothing to do with the seller. It\u2019s not unknown for rogues to give the impression they own the horse for sale, take the cash and simply disappear having used the stud as a front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get the low down on any firm or individual for \u00a37.95 at&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/checkaco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/checkaco.com\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ebike-guardian-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ebike-guardian-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ebike-guardian-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ebike-guardian-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ebike-guardian-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/checkaco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ebike-guardian.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pic: The Guardian<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No ebike for your money<\/strong><br>There is a boom in the sale of ebikes \u2013 those handy electric powered bicycles that make cycling easy for commuting or pleasure.
