Property Compliance
In today’s ever-evolving regulatory landscape, staying on top of property compliance is more important than ever for landlords and property owners.
Compliance spans a wide range of areas, missing even one requirement can expose landlords to fines, legal disputes, or restrictions on regaining possession of their property.
Our role is to help you navigate this complexity with confidence. We keep you informed of your responsibilities, flag any compliance risks, and can arrange the necessary inspections, certifications, or documentation to bring your property in line with current regulations.
We can arrange or advice on all essential certifications, ensuring your property meets the latest legal standards.
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
This certificate assesses the energy efficiency of your property, providing a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It is a legal requirement when renting or selling a property and helps tenants understand energy costs while encouraging energy-efficient improvements.
Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
This report evaluates the condition of electrical installations in a property, highlighting any potential hazards, defects, or areas of non-compliance. It ensures the electrical system is safe for continued use and is legally required for rental properties.
Gas Safety Certificate
A mandatory annual check for properties with gas appliances, ensuring that boilers, gas stoves, and other gas-powered equipment are safe and meet regulatory standards. A registered Gas Safe engineer must conduct this inspection to prevent carbon monoxide leaks and other hazards.
Fire Risk Assessments
Essential for rental properties, particularly HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation), this assessment identifies potential fire hazards and provides guidance on improving fire safety measures. It includes checking escape routes, fire doors, and smoke detection systems.
Legionella Risk Assessments
This assessment helps prevent Legionnaires' disease by evaluating the water systems in a property for potential bacteria growth. It is particularly important for properties with water storage tanks or complex plumbing systems.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Compliance
Landlords must ensure that smoke alarms are installed on every floor of a rental property and that carbon monoxide alarms are placed in rooms with solid fuel-burning appliances. This service ensures compliance with legal requirements and enhances tenant safety.
HMO Licensing Compliance
For landlords renting out properties with multiple tenants, obtaining and maintaining an HMO license is crucial. This process involves meeting specific safety, space, and management standards, and we assist landlords in ensuring full compliance with local council regulations.
Right to Rent Checks
Landlords are legally required to verify that tenants have the right to rent in the UK. Our service ensures full compliance with immigration laws by conducting thorough checks on tenant documentation, helping landlords avoid penalties and legal issues.
Deposit Protection Compliance
Tenant deposits must be secured in a government-approved deposit protection scheme. We assist landlords in ensuring deposits are correctly registered and managed, safeguarding both landlords and tenants from disputes.
Property Licensing Support
Some properties require additional licensing, depending on the local council's regulations. We help landlords navigate the application process, ensuring their properties meet all necessary requirements for compliance.
Tenant Safety Checks
Helping landlords monitor the overall condition of their rental properties through periodic visual inspections. These checks can highlight potential safety concerns, ensuring the property remains in good condition and reducing the risk of non-compliance.
PAT Testing (Portable Appliance Testing)
Electrical appliances provided in rental properties must be safe for tenant use. PAT testing involves checking the condition of electrical items, such as kettles, microwaves, and washing machines, to prevent electrical hazards and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
