I've decided to let my property , What do I need to know to ensure I let a property properly to tenants


Our Answer

By ludlowthompson
Estate Agent

There are a lot of things to consider to ensure you are meeting the legislative requirements when letting out a property to tenants.

These will include:

  • Ensuring the property is safe, for example through gas safety records, electrical safety, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, providing safe electrical equipment and services, water safety, and furniture safety
  • Ensuring the property is prepared for let - cleaning, inventories, documents available to tenants
  • Ensuring the process prior to let - finding and identifying the right tenant, referencing, tenancy agreements
  • Types of tenants and tenancies
  • Ensuring the deposit is managed properly, registered and tenant advised
  • Redress schemes and selecting an Arla PropertyMark Agent
  • Ending a Tenancy properly

The government provides a useful 'How to let' guide to assist current and prospective residential landlords in understanding their obligations with useful links and tips: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-to-let/how-to-let

If you are considering letting out your property the best place to start is with a property valuation. You can get an instant property valuation by applying for a ludlowthompson My Account, where you will get access to even further advice and guidance on the letting process.
