Important considerations for Landlords before Letting

• Written consent must be obtained from your Mortgage Provider/Freeholder (if property is leasehold).
• Your Insurance Company must be notified that the property is to be rented out and appropriate insurance obtained for a tenanted property. There are specialist insurance companies who can provide this and we would be happy to assist you.
• The Inland Revenue must also be informed within 6 months of letting your property, flat or apartment in the UK and failure to do so will incur penalties, interest and other consequences. The Inland Revenue are apt to deal harshly with Landlords who do not declare rental income and it is always best to seek advice on tax planning and Capital Gains Tax from a fully qualified Accountant.
• Mail should be redirected with the Post Office
• Further copies of keys will need to be provided, at least two if you have Management Agents acting for you.
• Utilities such as gas/electricity/water/telephone & Council Tax will have to be transferred to the successful Tenant.
• An Inventory and Check In should be drawn up. This is an important legal document which forms an integral part of the Tenancy Agreement and, as such, it is a false economy to prepare your own in most cases.
