We wish to pass on our heartfelt thanks to you all for the patience and understanding that you have shown our teams during the past months, as we have had to find new ways to work, dealt with ever changing goalposts and with tenants facing furlough and redundancy. As we write, we hope that the worst is now behind us and that we can now move forward once again.
There has been significant change to property lettings legislation in recent years and the changes continue to arrive, thick & fast. Please take a read of our landlord's update below and contact our team if there is anything you wish to discuss. Those who are signed up to our part and fully managed service, we will apply all changes as a matter of course. Those on our other contracted and non-contracted services, please ensure that your properties are meeting all legislative requirements, or call you local office to discuss the option to move to our fully managed service.
We hope you find this update interesting and useful. If and when you need us, you know where we are.

Right to Rent Checks post 30.06.21
The Brexit Transition is scheduled to end on 30th June. Please stay abreast of Government announcements of the impact this may have on existing and new tenancies with regard to Home Office Right to Rent Checks.
Before the start of a new tenancy, a landlord (or letting agent on behalf of the landlord), must check all tenants aged 18 and over, even if:
- they’re not named on the tenancy agreement
- there’s no tenancy agreement
- the tenancy agreement is not in writing
Please note, it’s against the law to only check people you think are not British citizens. You must not discriminate against anyone because of where they’re from.
