AUTOMATED VEHICLE BILL ANNOUNCED IN KING'S SPEECHDuring the opening of Parliament, King Charles III's speech announced the plan to introduce the automated vehicle bill. This has taken several years and multiple public consultations. Key elements will be who is held responsible and in which situations, along with companies being held responsible for exaggerating their system's capabilities. The devil will be in the detail, however.

BMW TO LAUNCH UK ‘HANDS FREE EYES ON' SYSTEM IN 2024BMW is bringing a system that humans cannot handle, with their Level 2+ ‘Motorway Assist'. This is, similar to Ford's BlueCruise, that requires the driver to continue to watch the road even though they are not holding the steering wheel. To repeat ourselves, there are many studies that show humans cannot manage this task, but that is not stopping the deployment and that the driver will still be help responsible for something they are being set up to fail.

Rejecting your car under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 When rejecting a new car or used car, many consumers and businesses of sale are not aware of the operation of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. In the event of a rejection, it allows certain rights to both the car buyer and the Car Seller. Short term right to reject a car – Within the first 30 days from purchase If a consumer has purchased a new or used car and: Within 30 days from purchase it has developed a fault; and The fault was not present at the point of purchase Then a customer can reject the car and receive a full refund. No deductions can be made. Also, a consumer does not have to accept any repairs or replacements offered by the dealership of sale. Final right to reject – The first six months from purchase If a consumer has purchased a new or used car and: A fault develops before the expiry of the first six months from purchase; and The fault has developed after the first 30 days from purchase has passed Then a consumer may elect to reject the car. However, the dealership of sale may be able to apply a reasonable deduction for use and this may reduce the total refund. Also, prior to exercising their right to reject, a consumer must give the dealership of sale a one-time opportunity to repair the car. If this one-time attempt to repair the car fails then a consumer may consider the final right to reject. Final right to reject – six months after purchase If a consumer has purchased a new or used car and: A fault occurs after the expiry of the first six months; Then the burden of proof shifts from the dealership of sale unto the carbuyer. The consumer must now show that the fault was present at the point of sale. Therefore, the passage of time makes rejecting a car more difficult, though not impossible. Thus, the longer a consumer has a car and the more use a consumer has from it, the harder it may be for a consumer to reject a car based upon a defect that manifests after the passage of time.

Hello and welcome to E107 of Front End Chatter, Britain’s most biodegradable biking podcast, oralised by Martin Fitz-Gibbons and Simon Hargreaves, and supported and recycled by the green bins at bikesocial.co.uk and Bennetts, the bike insurance specialists. And in this fab, decidedly retrospective episode we have: under-achieving factory Aprilia rider Andrea Iannone is in trouble with the FIM after a urine sample is found to contain performance-enhancing drugs. Mr Iannone is understood to be seeking a refund from his dealer under the Consumer Rights Act as the year crawls to its conclusion like a slug looking for the exit sign, FEC goes back 12 months to watch ourselves gazing into our crystal balls and compares what we thought we’d be saying then to, er, now... ...and as the decade grinds to a crushing defeat we also look back at the trends and changes we’ve seen in motorcycling over the last ten years, the look forward to what’s to come in the next ten... plus more of your FEC-sack emails, including subjects as varied as helmets turning to cork, possibly thanks to corrosive perspiration, and/or adding a Best Before date to the lining, sat navs v smart phones part deux, semi-active Fireblade Öhlins v upgrading suspension, why some endurance race bikes have yellow headlights and much much more.... Thanks for listening, you’ve still been wonderful. Props to my man at bikesocial.co.uk – a tumescent repository of motorcycling wisdom – and Bennetts, whose insurance superstardom continues to include 10% off at Halfords on top of goodness knows what else.

The Tenant Fee Act is now in force from the 1st June 2019. The Tenant Fees Act sets out the Government’s approach to banning letting fees for tenants. The key measures of the Act include: Tenancy Deposits must not exceed the equivalent of five weeks’ rent (unless the annual rent exceeds £50,000 in which case deposits are capped at six weeks’ rent). Holding Deposits will be capped at no more than one week’s rent. The amount that can be charged for a change to a tenancy will be capped at £50 unless the landlord demonstrates that greater costs were incurred. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is amended to specify that the letting agent transparency requirements should apply to third-party websites. Alongside rent and deposits, agents and landlords will only be permitted to charge tenants fees associated with: A change or early termination of a tenancy when requested by the tenant. Utilities, communication services and Council Tax. Payments arising from a default by the tenant where they have had to replace keys or a respective security device, or a charge for late rent payment (not exceeding 3% above the bank of England base rate). A breach of the fees ban will be a civil offence with a financial penalty of up to £5,000. You can see all the government guidance on the Tenant Fee Act by clicking here. New How to Rent Guide and Section 21 Form It’s also worth noting that the government released a new updated version of the Right to Rent Guide as well as a new Section 21 Form to factor in changes from the Tenant Fee Act. Please see links to the updated documents here: How to Rent Guide Section 21 Form So that concludes this episode of Ask the Estate Agent Podcast.

This week, Rob is joined by residential lettings manager, Matt Justice BSc, to discuss the Tenant Fee Ban which is being introduced into England on June 1st, 2019. Their discussion covers everything from its positive aspects to its negative attributes, and the wider implications of what promises to be one of the most controversial pieces of legislation to hit the rental market in decades. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS The premise behind the ban was to do away with fees charged to tenants by agents for things such as referencing, inventory costs, deposit registration, replacement keys etc. The ban aims to do away with all these costs for tenants. When it comes into force, tenants will only be liable for the rent, a holding deposit, and a security deposit. An overview of the Tenants Fee Ban: Tenancy deposits must not exceed the equivalent of five weeks rent unless that rent exceeds £50,000. Holding deposits will be capped at no more than one week's rent. The capped fee for changes to the tenancy agreement is to be no more than £50, unless the landlord can demonstrate that higher costs were incurred to do so. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is amended to specify that the letting agent transparency requirements should apply to third party websites so that renters are aware of any fees from the very first instant. As Matt points out, the deposit situation is different for HMOs, and must be understood completely by landlords, as charging the wrong amount will result in hefty fines. If a tenant has incurred bills or fees from utilities during their tenancy, then the landlord is entitled to settle such bills using funds taken from their security deposits. Matt believes that the ban has been introduced because of areas like London, where tenants have been subjected to exorbitant fees. In some cases, application fees alone have been greater than the first month's rent. The problem with the ban is that some of the agent's fees are completely justified, and the only way to really recoup these costs is for the rents to increase. Sometimes legislation seems to be in reaction to a sensationalised, and somewhat singular case of a landlord or lettings agent abusing their position. In Rob's opinion, more research should be done about the broader picture before legislation is introduced, ensuring that it is warranted, wise and active instead of reactive. One way of circumventing the referencing fee issue is to offer optional referencing. Passing on the entire search fee, or a percentage of the cost to do so, may be necessary to ensure that the landlord still gets a reliable tenant, and the lettings agent still covers the cost of the search. If rents are increased due to the Tenant Fee Ban, then it will cost the tenant far more in the long run, especially for long-term lets. If these higher rents cannot be met, then it will cause massive social problems BEST MOMENTS ‘It's going to be an eye-opener' ‘Sometimes when the government do a blanket ban on things, they don't always specify what they mean' ‘If the costs have got to be covered, naturally where's it got to go?' ‘Think about people kicking off at the cost of Freddos!' ‘I don't want to say that it'll be catastrophic, but it could potentially be catastrophic' ‘We don't want to lose landlords, and hopefully landlords still have use for lettings agents!'
