3. Take Legal Guidance
With so much red tape and legislation governing the industry, landlords face a minefield of legal responsibilities. Breaches of certain types of legislation often have criminal sanctions attached resulting in fines or imprisonment for the landlord. Therefore, it’s essential that all relevant procedures specific to your property are followed. Because we are specialists in lettings, we can guide you through each and every piece of legislation that applies to your particular property.

4. Find Suitable Tenants
Finding quality tenants means conducting thorough referencing checks. Leading letting agents will independently verify the identity, status and background of each applicant. No stone should be left unturned to ensure the applicants are who they say they are and are capable of paying the rent. We only recommend the very best candidates to our landlords. Our referencing standards are stringent because when it comes to our landlords’ properties, there’s no room for error.

5. Tenancy Paperwork
It takes an expert to know how to reflect the scheme and workings of UK tenancy laws within lettings document. We are experts in drawing up legally binding and accurate tenancy agreements and paperwork, such as the inventory, to give our landlords the very best service to protect their property and income stream. We take care of all the necessary paperwork on behalf of our landlords - regardless of whether you go for our ‘Intirely Let’ or ‘Intirely Managed’ service.

6. Rent and Deposit
The first month’s rent and deposit should be taken before the keys are released and a standing order for the remaining rent set up by your agent. Landlords are legally required to safeguard tenants’ deposits under an insured or custodial Government Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). We’re members of TDS and all deposits we take on behalf of our landlords are protected in this way at no additional cost.
