Landlord visit?

CarMe

Hi, my landlord is due to come visit in a few hours time. I've never met heh before as it was done through an agency so Im looking forward to meeting her. Just wondering though, is it the norm for her to come and visit? I hope she's not selling as we love the house and also will she go into all the rooms, bedrooms?
It's no problem if she does i just want to know what to expect!

not even wrong

Your landlord is legally entitled to carry out an inspection at reasonable intervals, as long as she gives notice in advance. She will probably want to go into the bedrooms as she needs to see what condition the entire property is in. However stuff like opening drawers or rummaging around your possessions is beyond what I would see as a reasonable inspection.

If you are in the middle of a fixed term lease then you have nothing to worry about.

If you dont have a fixed term then its a bit different.

Once you have been in the house for 6 months, you acquire Part 4 rights which allow you to remain in the property for up to four years.

You don't have to sign a new fixed term lease at the expiry of the present one, but it is more secure than a Part 4 in that the landlord can only remove or evict you if you are in breach of your obligations.

With a Part 4 lease, the landlord can gain possession of the property under certain grounds, the two main ones are if he wants it for his own use (or a member of his immediate family) or if he wants to sell it.

Very informative thanks!
It went really well she just wanted to meet us, i asked would she ever consider rent to buy and she seemed delighted though neither of us knew much about it it's a plus in my eyes because Im very attached to the house!
She didn't even look around though i did offer her to.
