Let’s assume you’ve found a property you’d like to rent and that you’re confident you can easily cover the bills and the monthly rent.

Just a few weeks into the job and Chancellor Rishi Sunak has had to deliver a budget at a time of a global health crisis. The possible implications of coronavirus caused stock markets to tumble at the start of the week and this morning, the Bank of England announced an emergency interest rate cut to […]
In this age, there’s a lot of isolation and loneliness. People are often fearful of making connections and sometimes that spills over into a lack of care or compassion for others who live nearby. That’s a shame because good neighbours really do make a difference. And it’s something that’s particularly apt right now as we […]

Okay, that was something of a rhetorical question – there can’t be many agents who wouldn’t want critical information quicker.

So yes, let’s assume that you’d love accelerated referencing. It’s all […]

Academics published a paper last month which addressed the impact of Airbnb on private sector rents in eight French cities. When looking at the biggest cities and investors letting entire homes on a short-term basis, there was a clear significant upward pressure on traditional rents. This phenomenon shouldn’t surprise British landlords. A report has been […]
The title of this blog mentions tenants, but everyone needs to know this information. Carbon monoxide (CO) can be lethal and even if your landlord has fulfilled all his legal obligations, situations could still arise which could leave you or your family at risk. Let’s start by looking at the landlord’s obligations. Landlord’s obligations Carbon […]
There’s always a spike in the property-for-sale listings at the start of a year. Vendors are looking to capitalise on the desire we humans have for the fresh start and so, the house hunting process kicks off. Of course, as a tenant, you’re not immune to this urge for change.

In a crowded and volatile industry, it can be hard to make your mark. It’s a challenge to differentiate your service from the competition, to show your clients that you are not the same, that you care, that you’ll do more for them. Working with LegalforLandlords can help you to stand out. Combining your drive […]
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again: our industry needs to drive out criminal landlords. Despite them being a minority, their effect on the way we are perceived by the public is massive and their impact on the lives of tenants can be devastating. That’s why although I support new funding made […]
Did you see these stomach-churning images on the Daily Mail? LegalforLandlords represented the landlord in gaining possession of her property after a nightmare tenant deliberately left the place in squalor and infested by maggots. Sim Sekhon, Managing Director of LegalforLandlords, commented: “We’ve handled many cases where tenants have left properties in a state of squalor, […]
Tenants are often confused about insurance – whether they need it and whether it’s worth the cost. In this post, we’ll give a few pointers that will help to clarify the picture. Unlike motor insurance, which is a legal requirement before you drive on the public highway, property insurance isn’t mandatory. Broadly speaking, when we […]
Flashback to our 2017 webinar. There’s a huge number of people whose determination to enjoy Christmas means they don’t think about the consequences.

Are you still reading? Good. Budgeting isn’t the most inspiring topic but get it wrong and you’re in a whole world of trouble. Let’s imagine you’re about to take on your first tenancy. You’ve viewed a property. You like it. It ticks every box, but the rent could be a bit of a stretch. This […]
Do you remember the nerves and panic as the deadline for GDPR implementation crept closer? While some businesses were sorted, others were busy trying to get their heads around what the changes meant for their organisation in practical terms. What did they have to do? Which data could they store and use, and what did […]
