An energy performance certificate (EPC) gives home owners and tenants a detailed assessment of a property’s energy efficiency rating in terms of its environmental impact. The government introduced EPCs in 2007 to help the country reduce its CO2 output. An EPC lasts 10 years.

Letting your property with an energy performance certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement whenever a property is advertised for sale or rent. Letu can arrange the EPC for you, giving you one less thing to worry about.

Having good-quality photos and a floor plan will always help when advertising a property for rent. Photographs let tenants see your property at its best, and a floor plan will give them a good idea if the property’s layout and dimensions would suit their requirements.

As a landlord, you must put any deposit taken in a government-backed tenancy deposit scheme if you rent your home on an assured shorthold tenancy that started after 6 April 2007. The maximum amount you can take as a deposit is the equivalent to six weeks rent. More information on deposit protection can be found here.

Once all tenants (or their guarantors) have passed referencing with our partners at Rent4sure, your tenancy becomes eligible for rent guarantee insurance. This covers you against non-payment of rent and legal expenses incurred should you have to evict your tenants. For more information on rent guarantee insurance, select the property for which you have found tenants and press the 'Contact me' button – a member of the Rent4sure insurance team will be in touch.

Our Full Reference includes all the features of a Credit Check, plus full Income and previous Landlord / Managing Agent references. The Income Report provides confirmation of multiple sources of income, bonuses(guaranteed or non-guaranteed), savings, employment contract dates, and a personal declaration as to whether or not their employer finds the applicant honest, reliable, and trustworthy. The Previous Tenancy report provides confirmation of the rent they paid, the condition they left the property in, any arrears, and whether or not the Landlord would re-let to the applicant.

Essentially, an inventory is a listing of all the contents of a property and a record of the condition of each item, as well as the condition of the property itself. An inventory is designed to help keep track of the condition of a property and any furniture, fixtures, fittings and white goods before a tenant moves in and when they leave, so it can be made clear what damages, if any, need to be paid for by the tenant and what could be considered fair wear and tear.

Any deposit protection scheme will want an inventory as evidence of the property’s condition if there are any disputes over the return of the deposit at the end of the tenancy.
