You can see from the above list that there is much that can be done to the house in the coming year. Just how much, will be governed by the funds I can utilise. Ideally I would like to deal with all of these outstanding repairs and refurbishments as swiftly as I can. How quickly and definitively I am able to do this depends on how much I can support of a further loan in addition to the £10,000 pounds spent on the house last year. I would need to take out a further loan of £7500 as a minimum figure in order to fund a full programme of repairs and replacements in an acceptable timescale.

I would prefer this proposal rather than any short term patch and paint operation but the loans have to be covered in part at least by the first increase in rent for over two years. This would otherwise be the third year at the same rent. My original figure of £ 5 per week (£21 pcm) is realistic if we are to fund the ideal programme and any lower negotiated figure would inevitably adversely affect the scope and timescale.

The lowest acceptable increase would be £3.50 p week which would be £ 15 pcm rounded down. The question is how much of the work can be covered now with that lower figure. If I can take it that you will opt for the smallest increase then we need to decide which are the highest priorities.

The new contracts will go from the end of June as will the increase in rent so there will be a balance of £90 which if it helps can be paid in two lots of £45 added to this month's rent and next month's .

.

Two final points :-

The original agreement asked for the payments to be monthly DD's. to reach my account by the 1^st of each month.

I would appreciate your setting this up as otherwise the account goes into deficit and I incur charges. Obviously this cannot start until September.

now by Friday 30^th July. To prevent the deficit balance occuring

Final, final point ! I am not 100% certain how available Phil

is going to be in the short to medium term so we need to decide our priorities and get cracking …
