Afraid I can't help with your enquiry, but could you tell me how you
achieve a long term residential rental? What sort of agreement is there
between landlord and tenant?

Or do you mean you own it, and intend to rent it out long term?

Started out as a standard short let, just rolls on as a continuous "Assured
shorthold tenancy" re-let as the landlord is quite happy with the situation
and has no plans nor need to change anything. He maintains structurally
everything within the law, expects quiet enjoyment to be just that, and does
not interfere with ideas or "improvements" if we let him know first and
it's legal.

The other 7 semi detached properties have tenants ranging from us, 6 years,
to next door 50 years with much the same leases.

I suppose technically he should do the whole paperwork thing every now and
then, but as he's got a couple of million, invests his time in doing as much
leisure time pursuits as he can, and has 20 or more other properties I don't
suppose anytime soon it will change. Even given the current economic climate
it's good income for him. He owes nothing to anyone, is related to a *very*
large shipping concern family by marriage, and needs no other form of
income. If he dies then we'll wait and see.
