Legislation worries

Legislation worries

178 pieces of legislation to keep up to date and on top of. A letting agent can ensure you stay on the right side of the law.

At the last count, there are 178 pieces of legal legislation that all landlords in the UK must adhere to. Did you know that? Could you name them all? 

If you are considering renting out your property, it is almost impossible to abide by these rules if you don't know what they are. And sometimes, it may not even be a piece of legislation but a process that needs to be followed to the letter within set time frames to ensure that you are compliant. 

And if you don't get it right? It could mean you can't evict the tenant, even if they are in arrears with the rent. You could even be fined or imprisoned if you get things wrong - a total nightmare! 

It is frankly impossible to keep up unless you have passed the exams and work in the industry all day, every day. So, put your faith in our team to keep you right and everything ship shape.

At Christopher Stokes, we are regulated members of ARLA Propertymark, so we can ensure that we are fully up to date with any changes in legislation.
