There are number of steps you will need to undergo before we take on your property. These are industry standard and designed to ensure that the properties under management are in tip top condition. If you are interested in leasing your property through us the following steps will give you an idea of the kind of things we will request.

We will discuss your rent expectation and agree an amount in line with area specific factors.
We will agree the term of the lease (anything between 1 – 5 years typically) and agree upon a guaranteed rent figure. Please note that rents will be paid on or before the 7th of every month by BACS, whether or not the rent has been received from the tenant.

We will use our networks to identify a suitable tenant for the property. Please note that we work closely with Local Authorities and actively work with Housing Options teams to find settled accommodation for homeless households.
We will accompany all prospective tenants when viewing your property.
If the tenant is from the private sector then we will carry out a reference check from the previous landlord. If however the tenant is nominated from one of our 40 plus Local Authority Partners we will work closely with them to evaluate the suitability of he prposed household.

Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998

These regulations make it mandatory that gas appliances must be maintained in a safe condition at all times.

An annual safety check must be carried out by a tradesperson registered with Gas Safe Register.

An annual safety check of each gas appliance/flue/ pipework must be carried out.

The legislation also applies to portable appliances such as LPG (Calor gas) heaters but not those appliances that are owned by the tenant.

Once a check has been completed the engineer will issue a certificate to the landlord.

Gas safety certificates must be kept for two years and a copy must also be provided to the tenant within 28 days of the check being carried out.

A valid gas safety certificate must be in place at the start of the tenancy and the tenant must be given sight of the valid certificate. Failure to comply with this legislation is a criminal offence.

Visit gassaferegister.co.uk or phone 0800 408 5500. Should your property require a gas safety certificate, we can arrange this on your behalf.

Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994

These regulations apply to any portable electrical appliances (such as TVs, fridges, freezers, toasters, microwaves and lamps) which are provided as part of the tenancy.

They should be safe to use and in proper working order. It is a criminal offence to supply unsafe electrical equipment with rented accommodation. As a minimum, appliances should be visually inspected for any faults or damage. Whilst it is not a legal requirement, we require an electrical safety certificate covering all wiring and portable appliances within the property.

Should you require an electrical safety certificate, we can arrange this on your behalf.

Portable Appliance Testing (1994 Electrical Equipment Regulations)

The Health and Safety Executive guidance state the requirement that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition.

The responsibility of safe appliances lies with the person who is the duty holder; this could be the landlord or manager of a premises.

Any portable appliance in the accommodation, from a kettle, to a microwave to even a vacuum cleaner, should have periodic portable appliance testing, especially via a qualified and certified PAT Testing engineer.

A PAT Testing engineer will know exactly what to look for and where to look for it, from plugs and outlets to the casings around any portable appliances.

Energy Performance Certificates (effective 2008)

From 1 October 2008, landlords are legally required to show all prospective tenants the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) relating to their property. Noncompliance of this regulation could result in a £200 fine. An appropriate qualified assessor must complete this certificate. Should your property require an EPC, we can arrange this on your behalf.
