How am I protected as a Landlord during Covid19?

Quick Read- Some information and tips on how to ensure you are best protected as a Landlord during the pandemic.

Are you a landlord or thinking of a buy to let property? Don't be daunted by the changes brought upon us by Covid19, there are many ways in which we are here to protect you and your property. Here are just a few:

ARLA Qualified- if you are using services provided by Lesley Hooks you can rest assured that you are Property Mark protected. We have a number of staff who are ARLA or NAEA qualified, meaning you are in safe hands. What is the Association of Regulated Letting Agents? Click here for more info. We therefore have a wealth of knowledge and experience and can give you up to date advice on changes to legislation.

Rent Guarantees- think about obtaining Rent Guarantee Insurance, this could cover you if your tenant doesn't pay their rent.

Upfront Screening & Referencing- asking lots of questions and gathering information before a tenancy is agreed can save you a lot of headache down the line. That's why we go above and beyond the normal referencing process to try and choose the best tenant for your property.

Daily Rent Chasing- whilst we try to avoid arrears at all costs if your tenant does find themselves in this position we have a dedicated Staff Member who chases these up. The pandemic has results in increased unemployment and so sometimes your tenants may find themselves unable to pay due to no fault of their own. We have advised all our tenants to work with us not against us in these circumstances, we have had many scenarios where this has happened and payment plans have been arranged and arrears cleared quickly. We don't want either our landlords or tenants to be left in a financially difficult position due to the Covid19 pandemic and so making manageable plans to keep up payments is a big priority.
