General Information & Points to note before letting your property
This information is given for general guidance only and should therefore not be relied on. It has been prepared by an experienced letting agent operating in the UK market.
It is essential that your property be presented well for letting. It should be well decorated, clean and tidy to attract a tenant who will pay a good rental.
Under the 1985 Landlord and Tenant Act, Landlords have a legal responsibility to ensure that Tenants are “safe from harm”. This means ensuring that Landlords provide housing that is fit for habitation.
A property available for rent, must be supplied and maintained to a good standard. Landlords must ensure the structure, hot water and water supply, lighting heating and ventilation is maintained throughout the tenancy.
