We quote from Her Majesty The Queen’s speech: “Proposals will be brought forward to ban unfair tenant fees, promote fairness and transparency in the housing market, and help ensure more homes are built.” It now looks likely that a draft bill will be published later this year, and with cross-party support, it probably won’t encounter […]
Congratulations to Verity from our Insurance team who has won the LegalforLandlords employee of the quarter award. Verity has won £250 towards a break away. Well done Verity, well deserved!
If you think that Airbnb is just a great way to find inexpensive accommodation for your next city break, think again. Airbnb and similar platforms are widely used to advertise rooms for subletting – a nasty business that can get private landlords into a lot of trouble. You should have a clause prohibiting subletting in […]
The best-laid plans of mice and men do have a habit of lurching off the track. If one thing is certain, this post-election morning, it’s that Theresa May’s decision to call a snap election has not, for her or her party, gone according to plan. And the result – in the short term at least […]
Not every promise made as part of a manifesto makes it into the real world. Priorities and budgets change and political systems crawl along. Some promises remain things the parties would like to do rather than things they manage to implement. But we thought it a good time, with the general election looming, to peek […]
Now that the dust has settled over the introduction of Right to Rent checks, the smaller details of the rules are beginning to cause some concern. We’ve just about got to grips with the idea of the initial check and the documents we’re required to keep, but what happens where all the checks are fine […]
We feel like apologising for yet another increase in the standard rate of insurance premium tax (IPT) which will apply to policies with effect from 1st June 2017, but of course, we don’t have much say in Government policy. The Chancellor’s decision to increase the rate from 10% to 12% seems harsh. Only two years […]

The company, which has become one of the brightest and best providers of tenant referencing, insurance and legal services […]
Tax relief changes are in progress. Are you prepared? At the time of writing, it’s a week since the Government’s changes to mortgage tax relief allowances for landlords started to bite. Of course, you haven’t noticed the hit in your pocket yet. It’s when you do your tax return that the real costs will finally […]
LegalforLandlords annual Easter Egg competition was a great susses again this year. As well as four raffles for the staff a collection was also made to Alder Hey children’s hospital in Liverpool. Along with kind donations from Shergroup Enforcement we were able to put a smile on many children’s face on Easter Sunday when the […]
If you’re old enough to remember Green Shield Stamps or used to collect ‘Tiger Tokens’ when you filled up your car, you’ll know all about incentive schemes where it took forever and cost a small fortune to earn a wine glass or a teapot. That’s not how we do things at LegalforLandlords. For a start, […]
We’ve mentioned it before and we’ll probably mention it again, but changes that have a long lead time are easily ignored until the last minute – then, there’s a panic. Think about the system crashes at HMRC when everyone tries to file self-assessment tax returns on the last day. We’re putting this in big letters […]
In January the LegalforLandlords team attended Clue HQ Warrington as part of a team building exercise. Teams are locked in a room and given 60 minutes to find clues and solve puzzles, using the items they found to try and work out a way to escape. Unfortunately despite working well as a team our four […]
This year’s masquerade Christmas party was a huge hit with the LegalforLandlords team who really got into the spirt of the occasion and looked amazing. Thanks for a wonderful evening of glitz and glamour. We combined the celebration of Christmas with our annual awards ceremony, where we recognise the efforts of those members of the […]
We do love getting into the Christmas spirit. One of our favourite ways to do this is with the Christmas hamper collection. This year was no exception with one of our biggest collections to date. It was so successful that lots of members of the team walked away with a jam-packed hamper all ready for […]
We believe in giving back to those who are less fortunate than ourselves. As well as our usual charity events, we wanted to do something that would have an impact closer to home. In the run up to Christmas, we started collecting funds to buy much-needed supplies for our local food bank. A massive thank […]
At LegalforLandlords we love holding charity events and couldn’t resist getting involved with both Children in Need and Macmillan’s big coffee morning. As usual, our tombola was a great hit with many of the team walking away with fantastic prizes. We also encouraged the wearing of pyjamas in the office and a few people turned […]
That headline might look ridiculous, but it’s not just an attention-grabber. It’s the reality of changes that come into force on 6 April 2017. From that date, local authorities’ powers under the Housing Act 2004 are being strengthened in two key areas: Rent repayment orders Fixed penalty notices. The Government crackdown on criminal and irresponsible […]
The annual ARLA Propertymark conference is one of the year’s key industry events. 2017’s recent gathering was the biggest – and we think the best – yet. Held at London’s ExCeL, the conference provided a much-needed focus point for a sector with plenty to talk about. With many delegates concerned about the impact of recent […]
