Landlord Advice

Matching the right tenant to your property is crucial to a successful tenancy. That’s why we work that little bit harder during the screening and pre-qualification process to make sure everything is in order before moving on to the next stage.

You are required by law to supply an EPC before we can market your rental property. If you don’t have a current valid one, we can arrange for one to be completed on your behalf.

Cost: from £90.00


As of April 2018, it has been a legal requirement for every rental property to have an energy efficiency rating of at least E.
Any property with a rating of F or G will be deemed unfit for rental and appropriate measures will need to be taken to improve the energy rating to the minimum E rating. We can obtain quotes for you to bring your property up to the required rating if required.

NON-UK RESIDENT LANDLORDS

If you reside outside of the UK for more than 6 months, you are classed as a NON-RESIDENT LANDLORD by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and we are bound by law (Non-Resident Landlord Scheme) to deduct basic rate tax from the rent we receive on your behalf and pay direct to HM Revenue and Customs.

However, you can apply to have rent paid to you without any tax deductions. An application should be made to HMRC to receive rental income with no tax deducted and once approved, HMRC will normally send directly to us an approval letter/certificate in order to authorise us to pay to you the rental income gross i.e. without the deduction.
You would need to notify HMRC that we are the letting agent, and fill in the appropriate Non-Resident Landlord (NRL) form – please visit this website for more information: https://www.gov.uk/tax-uk-income-live-abroad/rent

Our NRL agent code (which you will need when completing the form) is: NA004692.
You may choose to appoint an Accountant who will assist you accordingly.

Please feel free to contact us for any further information you require.
