Under our Guaranteed Rent scheme, we manage all compliance obligations on your behalf. Here’s everything you need to know as a London landlord.
SAFETY CERTIFICATES
Required Certificates:
Smoke & CO Alarms:
⚑ We can arrange all required certificates on your behalf — gas, electrical, EPC, and PAT testing. Just let us know during the free valuation.
KEY LEGISLATION
Requires landlords to keep in repair the structure, exterior, and all installations for water, gas, electricity, sanitation, and heating
Residential premises must provide a safe and healthy environment for any occupier or visitor. We ensure all properties meet HHSRS standards.
Gas appliances must be maintained safely. Annual check required by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
All portable electrical appliances provided must be safe. Electrical installations checked every 5 years via EICR.
Smoke alarms on every floor. CO alarms in rooms with solid fuel or gas appliances. Tested at start of every tenancy.
Properties must be fit for human habitation throughout the tenancy. We monitor and maintain this standard continuously.
Deposits must be protected within 30 days. We handle deposit protection on behalf of all landlords under our scheme.
Our corporate lease structure protects you from new legislation that affects private landlords. Your rights stay secure.
You are required to maintain valid buildings insurance throughout the contract. We recommend a specialist landlord policy that covers liability to tenants and periods where the property may be uninhabitable. Tenants are responsible for their own contents insurance.
If your property is mortgaged, you must notify your lender that you intend to let it. Written consent is usually required and some lenders may charge an administration fee. If leasehold, check your head lease and notify the freeholder. We'll advise you on both during the free valuation.
Under our guaranteed rent scheme, every legal requirement is managed for you at no extra cost.
