Viewings
Prospective tenants are able to view your property, either in person or via video call. If your property is currently tenanted, we will liaise with your current tenants and provide them with 24 hours notice before each viewings. All viewings are carried out in line with government covid guidelines.
Choosing the
right tenant
Every tenant has their own individual circumstances. Reference checks are highly advised to our landlords. They allow you to find out very important information regarding the tenants financial and living history. The duration of the tenancy agreement, break clauses, children, pets, smoking and why the tenants are moving properties are also key factors, which need to be taken into consideration. Click will advise you and let you know if there are any warning signs.
Admin
Once you have accepted an offer, our administrator will ensure that all of the legal paperwork has been completed by the relevant parties. We will also ensure that all monies have cleared into our bank account before keys are handed over to your new tenant.
Management
When opting for our management service, you will be assigned your very own personal agent, who you can contact should any issues arise.
Costs Involved When Letting Out a Property
Making your costs transparent when letting your property
Letting Agent Fees
There are three options available; Let Only, Rent Collect or Full Management. Your typical high street estate agent usually charges you a percentage of the annual rent as their fee, this is generally between 8-15% depending on the service chosen. Click, being an online agent are able to keep your costs low and offer you a flat fee with no commission and hidden fees
Maintenance
Maintenance – It’s always a good idea to set some money aside each month in order to fund any repairs, should they arise. £100 a month is usually our recommendation.
Landlord Insurance
There are 3 type of landlord insurance:
1. Buildings insurance which covers the structure and protects against fire and flood damage.
2. Contents insurance which protects all of the furniture and appliances inside the property.
3. Landlord liability insurance which protects the landlord should someone get injured inside the property with
the landlord judged to be responsible. The prices can range from very little to potentially
thousands depending on the property being insured.
Safety Certificates & EPC
If the property has gas supply, then as a landlord, it is your responsibility to provide a valid gas safety certificate to each tenant before the tenancy commences. This costs approximately £100. You are also required to make sure that the electrics are in good working order and are safe for use. If the property is classed as a HMO, then you will require a EICR (Electrical Insulation Condition Report) and PAT (Portable Appliance Test). These cost approximately £100 each.
Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) – EPC’s are mandatory with the sale or let of any property within the UK. If the property is let out under a AST (Assured Shorthold Tenancy) then the EPC rating must be between A-E. EPC’s are valid for 10 years and generally cost between £60 - £100.
Rental Protection Policies
Rental protection policies – These can be arranged to protect you, should your tenant default on their rental payments. Plans generally cost between £100 - £300 depending on the size of the property and can be easily arranged.
Income Tax
This will be due to HMRC when you declare your rental income on a self-assessment form each year.
