Landlords

Introduction

Taking the first steps as a landlord can be both exciting and daunting. With over 150 Acts of Parliament to keep track of it may be difficult to know where to start, particularly if you are one of the many who become 'accidental landlords' through inheriting a property or moving in with a partner. We have put together a Full Management package so you can relax while we do all the work.

Before you can let out your property you will need to consider:

• Who will you be letting the property to?
• Who will manage the property?
• What are my legal obligations?

We will discuss all these points with you and make sure everything is clear and easy to understand.

Our Tenant find and set up service includes:

• Advice on the rent you can expect to achieve.
• Advertising and marketing of your property, including a 'To Let' board where appropriate.
• Advise on your compliance as a landlord.
• Accompanied viewing with prospective tenants.
• Referencing and credit checking applicants to find suitable tenants. We also complete a right to rent check.
• Preparing and arranging the completion of the tenancy agreement and any other documents which may be necessary.
• Collecting a deposit from your tenant and lodging it with Tenancy Deposit Scheme.
• Use a third party to Notify the Council Tax, Water Authorities plus all relevant Utility companies of the change of occupier and meter readings upon commencement of a tenancy.

• General day to day managing of the tenancy. This includes dealing with the tenants issues and arranging contractors for maintenance work. We always get landlords permission before instructing a contractor. Payment to contractors are the landlords responsibility but the invoice is usually paid out of the rent.
• When the tenancy ends we check the property is in acceptable condition, subject to fair wear and tear. If necessary, we will deduct fees from the deposit.
• Return the deposit to the Tenant at the end of the tenancy, provided that the tenant has complied with the terms of the tenancy agreement.
