There is an abundance of things to think about when preparing a new let for tenants – some to do with legal obligations, some to do with marketing the property itself and some to do with the property maintenance.
We’ve put together a checklist of things you may need to consider before renting your property out.
- Arrange an EPC – All landlords are required to be able to provide tenants with an Energy Performance Certificate, better known simply as an EPC.
- Give your property the right exposure- Whether you choose to rent out your property through an Estate agent or off your own back, a good advertising strategy will be crucial.
- Reference your tenants – It’s important that landlords have the opportunity to make an informed decision about who are renting their property.
- Check your landlord insurance – When it comes to renting property, things will sometimes go wrong, costly repairs may need to be made, or matters outside of a landlord’s control could occur and that’s why it’s important to always consider having landlords insurance in place.
