Letting a Property: Letting a property can seem very daunting at first and it
is very easy to ignore the rules and regulations so as to
make life easier for yourself. This is a deadly trap and
although you may get away with it to begin with, one day
you will be caught out – especially as many tenants
now have access to web sites such as ours where they can
seek advice and read about the laws governing rental property.
It can go horribly wrong and cost the landlord money that
he can ill afford to lose as well as potentially face imprisonment.
Therefore as a landlord it is imperative that you have access
to information and help that will ensure that you abide
by the rules and make money rather than lose it. All
too often we hear of cowboy landlords who have been caught
out and it is hoped that by reading this booklet and implementing
the various bits of information that you will remain above
board and have a happy time renting your property. We also
feel that should you use an agent you will have a good understanding
about what to look for in the agency to ensure that you
are not getting trapped into working with a sub standard
agency. Again there are no regulations as such that prohibit
anyone from running a lettings agency and the sums of money
that these people handle can be rather large. |
