I have been getting letters in the post addressed to a name I don't recognise. After several months, I opened one.
It is generally illegal to open someone else's mail according to the Postal Services Act 2000, but there are exceptions under the "reasonable excuse" element. Opening mail suspected to be from an enforcement agent regarding a previous tenant is likely a "reasonable excuse" to protect one's own interests. It is advised to mark mail "not known at this address, return to sender" instead, to avoid potential fines or imprisonment. The article also discusses contracts with builders, gifting money to avoid inheritance tax, stamp cost increases, cash ISAs, defence spending, electric cars, bank branches, house prices, car production ending, pensions, and investment hotspots.
