Q.
What is an EPC and why do I need one to let my property?
A.
An EPC is an Energy Performance Certificate and is produced by a Domestic Energy Assessor to give a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It’s a legal requirement to have an EPC before you let your property and must have a minimum rating of E. An EPC is valid for 10 years. We can arrange this with a minimum of fuss.

Q.
With a let property, how often do I need to get a gas safety check done?
A.
You will need a qualified Gas Safe Register engineer to check every 12 months that all gas appliances, pipes and flues are in safe working order. We can assist with this. Your tenant must be given a copy of the certificate before they move in to the property.

Q.
Why do I need an inventory / schedule of conditions when I let my property?
A.
It’s important you have an inventory so if there is a dispute over damage at the end of the tenancy, the inventory can be used as evidence of the condition of the property and its contents when your tenant moved in. When raising a dispute with TDS (The Independent Deposit Dispute Panel) they will want to see an inventory or schedule of condition. We can arrange this with minimum fuss.
