What Landlords Need to Know

• Legal Compliance: Landlords are responsible for ensuring their properties meet current safety and legislative requirements, including gas, electrical, and fire regulations.
• Deposit Protection: All deposits we hold are registered under the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) to safeguard tenants and landlords.
• Insurance & Tax: We recommend landlords maintain adequate buildings and contents insurance, and consider tax obligations on rental income—our team can provide guidance and documentation for your accountant.
• Communication: We provide honest feedback and regular updates, ensuring you remain informed without the day-to-day hassle.
• Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES): Rental properties must hold an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of at least E, unless a valid exemption applies. We can guide you through any improvements or exemptions required.
• Right to Rent Checks: In line with current Home Office regulations, we carry out the legally required Right to Rent checks on all prospective tenants to ensure full compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to live locally to let my property through TW Gaze?
No. Many of our landlords live outside the region or overseas. Our full management service ensures everything is handled on your behalf.

How quickly can you find a tenant?
This depends on market conditions, but our wide-reaching advertising and strong local network mean many properties let within a few weeks.

Can you help if I already have tenants in place?
Yes. We can take over management of existing tenancies, including long-term agricultural agreements or Assured Shorthold Tenancies.

What if a tenant stops paying rent?
Our experienced team will handle the situation professionally, advising on next steps and legal requirements.
