Landlords Guide
Key information to support landlords throughout the letting process.
Our experienced lettings team advises landlords on tenancy types and the legal requirements applicable within the private rented sector. All tenancy agreements are prepared to ensure compliance and clarity for both parties.
A security deposit (typically equivalent to four weeks’ rent) is taken before the start of the tenancy to cover damage, missing items, or excessive wear. Deposits are held as stakeholders for the duration of the tenancy and refunded at its conclusion, subject to deductions.
All deposits for Assured Shorthold Tenancies are protected in accordance with the Tenant Deposit Scheme regulations.
Comprehensive references are taken on all prospective tenants, including affordability, employment, and previous landlord checks where applicable.
An independent inventory company prepares a detailed inventory report, conducts check-in at the start of the tenancy, and check-out at the end.
​
Typically, the landlord covers the check-in and inventory, while the tenant covers the check-out, often deducted from the deposit. A full inventory protects both parties and is essential when assessing any deposit claims.
Rental income from UK property is subject to income tax. Landlords are responsible for declaring rental income in their annual tax return.
Non-resident landlords must apply to HMRC for approval to receive rental payments without tax deducted at source. Further guidance is available via our team or directly from HMRC.
Landlords are responsible for insuring their property and contents during the tenancy. Insurers must be informed that the property is let, as it may affect cover and premiums.
​
For leasehold properties, building insurance is typically included within the service charge; however, we advise landlords to confirm this with the freeholder or management company.
Furniture & Fire Regulations
It is a legal offence to let a property containing furniture or furnishings that do not comply with current fire safety regulations.​
Gas Safety Regulations
Landlords must ensure all gas appliances are maintained and a Gas Safety inspection is conducted annually. A valid Gas Safety Certificate must be in place before a tenancy begins and remain current throughout the letting.We recommend properties are presented in good condition prior to marketing to attract suitable tenants and achieve favourable rents. We can arrange decorative works or refurbishments upon request.
