Landlords' FAQs

This depends on the type of tenant you want to attract. For example, students usually prefer furnished accommodation, as they don’t have the available funds to kit out their rooms themselves, whereas families might already have furniture that they’ll be bringing with them. Please note that any furniture provided must comply with current safety legislation.

Managing a rented property can be time-consuming, not to mention stressful. Our letting management services make being a landlord as straightforward and hassle-free as possible. We take on a range of tasks on your behalf, such as marketing, vetting tenants, collecting rent, dealing with tenant issues, and much more.

By law, you’re required to place your tenant’s deposit in a government-approved tenancy deposit scheme. We’ll handle this for you, or you can take on the task yourself if you prefer. The deposit must be returned to the tenant once the tenancy is over, minus any money to cover the cost of repairs or unpaid rent.

Our team are here to address any issues relating to damage, or failure to pay the rent. We’re the first point of contact for tenants, and we’ll work with them to find a suitable resolution. If required, we’ll obtain funds from them to cover the costs of repairs, or to pay the rent they owe. In the unlikely event that your tenant refuses to comply, we’ll take the necessary steps to protect your property (and finances), and keep you informed throughout, so you don’t feel left in the dark. We can also offer protection in the form of rent insurance for unpaid for rent. Please ask us for more details.

As a landlord, you’ll need to provide a few legal certificates. These include: an EPC (energy performance certificate), safety certificates (gas and electricity), and the deposit paperwork.
