As Big Ben rang in 2020, we were all probably already well under way planning resolutions which will make us richer, happier, thinner and healthier – stoically determined to dig out the dusty cross-trainer from the loft. However long your New Year Resolutions list, 1st January is a great time for everybody to start afresh with good intentions.
For landlords, there are a number of reasons as to why renewing a tenancy is preferable to bringing a contract to a close and then seeking another tenant.
With everything that goes on over Christmas, it can be tough to plan into 2020 until it’s suddenly New Year’s Eve and someone asks you whether you have any New Year resolutions.

Time is running out for Landlords to have their say on the Government proposals to abolish Section 21.
Letting Agents have been required to join a government consumer redress scheme since October 2014. The purpose of this is to give consumers an escalated complaints procedure if they are not satisfied with how their complaint has been dealt with by their Letting Agent.
The Tenant Fees Act will come into force on 1st June 2019. At the centre of the new legislation is a ban on Tenant fees, including admin and agency fees. However this only touches the surface on the changes and their implications for you the Landlord and us as your Agent.
Landlords need to know about three types of licensing: mandatory, additional and selective. Mandatory and additional licensing only relate to houses in multiple occupation (HMOs)
