If you own property and are keen to enter the rental market, or are an experienced landlord seeking a new tenant there are a number of things to consider. Firstly, that the property is legally compliant. Since 2013 the legislation has begun to change and in more recent years it is now changing more regularly and at a faster rate.
We can provide a full management service or rent only service.
- Insuring any deposits held
- Registering as a landlord (only lasts 3 years)
- That the property rented has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
- If furnished, has the furniture fire resistant tags
- The property has legally compliant smoke alarms/heat detectors and possibly carbon monoxide detectors
