extras

As landlords, it's essential to comply with various regulations while renting out a property. We're here to help you with the organisation of these requirements! We are happy to advice, recommend and book these services.

legal requirements

  • An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a comprehensive electrical assessment conducted by a qualified electrician.

  • If your rental property has gas appliances, it is a legal requirement to obtain an annual Gas Safety Certificate. This certificate verifies that all gas installations, fittings, and appliances have been inspected and deemed safe by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

  • PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) Tests: As a landlord, you have an obligation to ensure the safety of any portable electrical appliances provided to your tenants. PAT tests involve inspecting and testing these appliances for potential electrical faults or defects.

  • An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) assesses the energy efficiency and environmental impact of the property, rating it on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient)

  • Landlords are required by law to have at least one smoke alarm installed on every floor of their properties and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room containing a solid fuel burning appliance (eg a coal fire, wood burning stove). You must also make sure the alarms are in working order at the start of each new tenancy.

  • Landlords are obligated to ensure that the risk of exposure to Legionella is assessed and minimised to protect tenants. In order to adequately control the risk, a Legionella risk assessment must be carried out.

optional

  • We highly recommend that landlords carry out regular boiler servicing. A boiler service involves a qualified engineer inspecting and cleaning the boiler, ensuring it operates safely and efficiently. This proactive maintenance helps prevent breakdowns, reduces the risk of carbon monoxide leaks, and prolongs the lifespan of the boiler.

  • Although not mandatory, arranging professional cleaning services between tenancies is a valuable investment. Professional cleaning ensures that your property is thoroughly cleaned and presents well to potential tenants. A clean and well-maintained property enhances tenant satisfaction and increases the chances of attracting high-quality tenants.

  • Having a check-out report prepared by an independent inventory clerk is highly recommended. This report documents the condition of the property at the end of the tenancy, comparing it to the initial inventory report. It helps identify any damages or discrepancies, assisting in fair deductions from the tenant's deposit if necessary.

  • Rent guarantee insurance provides protection against potential loss of rental income in case of tenant default or arrears. It offers financial security and peace of mind by covering the rental payments while legal proceedings are underway.

What’s included

Marketing

  • Our professional photographers capture the best angles, lighting, and features of each property, ensuring potential tenants get a clear and attractive representation of the space.

  • A floor plan provides potential tenants with a visual layout of the property, allowing them to understand the flow and dimensions of the space. This helps tenants make informed decisions about whether the property suits their needs.

  • We craft descriptive and engaging content that highlights the unique features and selling points of each property. Our goal is to create captivating advertisements that generate interest and attract potential tenants.

  • We ensure maximum exposure for your properties by advertising them Rightmove. We guarantee that your listings reach a wide audience of potential tenants, increasing the chances of finding suitable tenants quickly and efficiently.

  • We facilitate seamless communication between you and potential tenants throughout the letting process. Our dedicated team promptly responds to inquiries, schedules property viewings, and provides essential information to interested applicants. We strive to maintain clear and efficient communication channels, ensuring that all parties are well-informed and their queries are addressed promptly.

  • We place a strong emphasis on finding tenants who are trustworthy, reliable and dedicated to maintaining your property. We know that having tenants who respect the property and adhere to the terms of the tenancy agreement is crucial for a positive and hassle-free letting experience.

Tenancy

  • We use an independent referencing company when assessing prospective tenants ensuring landlords receive an unbiased evaluation of applicants, including insights into their financial stability and rental history. This approach minimises risks and enhances the likelihood of establishing a secure and positive landlord-tenant relationship.

  • We provide comprehensive and legally compliant tenancy agreements for our landlords, protecting the rights and interests of both the landlord and the tenant. We facilitate contract signing by all parties.

  • We register all deposits with a government-approved tenancy deposit scheme, providing both landlords and tenants with peace of mind. This process ensures that deposits are protected and can be fairly managed at the end of the tenancy.

  • We provide a detailed inventory for each new tenancy. This process involves meticulous documentation of the property's condition, including any existing damage or defects in each room. The resulting inventory report serves as a valuable reference during the check-out process, assisting in the fair resolution of any disputes regarding the property's condition at the end of the tenancy.
