Steps To Be A Legal Landlord
....the way the pros do!
Our FREE e-book guides all landlords through the steps that are ESSENTIAL if you want to be a legal landlord
Whether you are a multiple landlord with many years experience, or just starting out in property investment with one or two properties, the regulatory climate is so tough to keep up with.
So we've gathered together the sixty-odd steps (it's constantly growing!) that we control and monitor on every single letting, and bundled them into this invaluable guide.
You can use the pages of checklists to run step-by-step through your own lettings...
...or you can download the app version that allows you to click through your rental property situation in literally minutes.
The app "scores" your compliance. You'll receive an invaluable rating for your letting, and whether it's great, or looking a bit troubled, you'll have the knowledge at your fingertips to probe your issues.
Let's be honest, it takes a special sort of dedication to keep on top of compliance (the sort we have!) but the e-book and app give you a head start on ensuring you're a LEGAL LANDLORD

IT'S LIKE A RENTAL MOT!
Section 21 Notices
Scheduled to disappear with new legislation. How will you manage a repossession?.
EPC’s
If your property doesn’t meet specific standards, it can’t be let AT ALL. And soon to get tougher
Gas Safety Certificates
Failure to issue a GSC (or electrical EICR) could present problems for recovering your property
Deregulation Act!
Did you re-issue your paperwork after October ’18? Want to know why this is important?
Arrears
Do you know the full process for arrears recovery? Most landlords don’t! Getting a CCJ is just the start...
Did you lodge the deposit? Did you issue the How to Rent Guide? No...? Ooops
Lettings rules
Selective Licensing
It's here now, and it's quite painful. If you don't have all your docs together, there's risk of fines
Selling your Rental
It's YOUR property: so how might the sale come unstuck if the rental doesn't comply?
Does your agent follow the rules? Do they keep you posted? Are they compliant themselves?

Would a discovery session in our Landlord Clinic to review your letting property help?
Our friendly guidance has helped many landlords even when they thought everything was fine.
What if your checklist reveals issues that could become real problems?
How would you cope if a single missed signature meant you could not get your property back just when you need to sell?
What if the council is assisting your tenants to claim a Rent Repayment Order? It happens!
What if the documents were fine at the outset of the tenancy, but the years have passed and now....? An all too common situation
We're here to help. We have encountered pretty much every issue and overcome it.
Our menu of services is designed to deal with all eventualities.
Sometimes a brief free chat will resolve a niggling worry.
Other times a full re-set can be involved, but at a reasonable cost.
We can often take a property on a two-year management agreement and resolve the issues, leaving you free to get on with quiet enjoyment of your rental again.
Research shows that even basic compliance is falling short. In a repossession this will be a problem - Courts are disinclined to give the benefit of the doubt, even when it's vital to get your property back

I don’t like Selective Licensing because I have good properties well-managed. But it’s mandatory and I knew I need experts to get them sorted for me, so I used Gosia at Northwood. They know about the whole thing, who to talk to at the Council, and handle all the workload – a real load off my mind
Multiple property landlord, Leicester
I needed help and support applying for my selective license for 2 rental properties. From Day 1, Gosia was on it and made the process simple to understand, accompanying the council officer at the properties. I now have peace of mind and I don’t have to worry about getting stung with a huge fine!

I found Gosia from Northwood, and I can honestly say she has been a game-changer. From the very first conversation, her knowledge and confidence stood out. She immediately understood the issues I was facing and laid out a clear, step-by-step plan to bring everything into compliance.
