Ready to let your house?

The Checklist:

Please follow our simple checklist. If you would like to talk to us, or need us to visit your house, please just call and ask.

First Steps

The checklist below is ideally a reminder of what you need to do after our visit. Everything below can be explained further during our visit or in the office.

1. Signed Agency Agreement (yellow copy), having read both sides, with the necessary sections completed
2. Two full sets of keys plus another two front door keys and any alarm instructions
3. Completed permissions sheet and property information form

Once steps one, two and three are completed, we can assist you with everything else whilst starting to market the property.

• Energy Performance Certificate – this must now be a minimum rating of E, so should be high on your agenda
• Landlords’ Gas Safety Certificate
• PAT Tests (for furnished properties only)
• Electrical condition report (5 yearly)
• Landlords’ building and/or contents insurance policy
• Consider health and safety (see H.H.S.R.S.)
• Install one smoke alarm on every floor and a carbon monoxide detector in every room, with a gas appliance or solid fuel fire (with the exception of cookers/hobs)

If we organise works before the property is let we will endeavour to take the funds from your first rental income, but reserve the right to request payment earlier for any works organised on your behalf.
