PACKAGE 2 - TENANT FIND SERVICE - £995 (inc VAT)
85% inc VAT of the first months rent (Min. fee £995 inc VAT) Fee covers the following:
A full inventory of the property can be carried out by yourself; however, from our experience, we would recommend that an inventory specialist carries this out on your behalf.
Our inventory specialist takes very detailed notes, which are signed by the tenant upon check-in and check-out. In our opinion, this service is beneficial in the event of any damage to the property, as the detailed document could be used in an arbitration case.
As the Landlord, you will need to provide an up-to-date Gas Certificate, which includes a full check of all gas items such as the boiler, gas hob and gas fires.
Gas Certification is a legal requirement and should be carried out yearly. Upon your instruction, we can arrange this certification on your behalf with a reputable Gas Safe Engineer.
Landlords are required to provide a satisfactory, up-to-date Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), which is valid for 5 years.
An EICR is a legal requirement and, upon your instruction, we can arrange this certification on your behalf with a reputable electrical engineer.
The regulations require at least one smoke alarm on every floor of the property where a room is used wholly or partly as living accommodation.
A carbon monoxide alarm must be installed in any room containing a solid fuel-burning appliance, such as a wood burner, coal fire or biomass appliance, or a combustible appliance such as a boiler.
Pricing is available on request for supply and installation.
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required for properties when constructed, sold or let. The EPC provides details on the energy performance of the property and recommendations for improvements.
We have a local EPC company that can arrange a timed appointment and undertake this for you. Pricing is available on request.
The minimum EPC rating required for letting out a property is E or above.
