We offer two options: We can safeguard the deposit on your behalf, or we can transfer it to you to secure through one of the official deposit protection schemes.

An inventory is vital. It meticulously records the property’s condition at the start of a tenancy, facilitating a transparent assessment of any damages or wear and tear when the tenancy ends.

As of April 1st, 2020, it’s a legal stipulation for all rental properties to have an EPC rating of at least E. This ensures energy efficiency and is in the best interest of both landlords and tenants.

An annual gas safety check is compulsory for all rental properties. This ensures that all gas appliances and installations are safe and compliant.

While not legally mandated, as a landlord, you are responsible for ensuring the safety of all electrical devices. Regular inspections, even if informal, are advisable to ensure continuous safety.

All necessary furniture should be equipped with a “permanent label” verifying its fire resistance. We can offer a comprehensive list of items that need to comply with fire safety standards upon request.

For properties under our full management, we handle rent collection and transfer it directly to you. If we’re only managing the property’s listing, you’ll need to arrange the rental collection with your tenants.

Typically, the tenant covers the council tax for the duration of their stay. But note, landlords are responsible for council tax in Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO). Outside tenancy periods, the burden falls back to the landlord.

If the property comes with a television, you as the landlord are responsible for the TV license. If the tenant brings their own TV, it’s up to them to manage the license.

An assurance check or a routine visit is our way of ensuring your property’s condition remains impeccable during a tenancy. It’s a check-up to ensure tenants respect the property and adhere to the tenancy agreement.

Damages caused by tenants can be compensated using their deposit at the end of the tenancy. If damages are extensive, leading to a contract breach, eviction processes can be initiated.

All tenants sign contracts that mandate timely rent payments, barring a few exceptional cases. We pride ourselves on vetting and choosing reliable tenants to minimize such issues.

Should you wish to evict a tenant mid-tenancy, it requires a valid reason or mutual agreement. Breaches in the tenancy agreement are legitimate grounds for eviction.

TPO, or The Property Ombudsman, is an impartial organization dedicated to resolving disagreements between property agents and consumers.

‘Right to Rent’ is a mandatory governmental check ensuring tenants are legally authorized to rent in the UK.

Improving an EPC rating can be done in several ways: switching to LED bulbs, adding insulation, installing efficient boilers or smart meters, and opting for double or triple-glazed windows.

Yes, tenants can contest a rent hike. The best approach is a dialogue, aiming for a mutually agreeable amount. Should there be no consensus, you retain the right to terminate the lease post the current contract.

Controller Required

To harness the full potential of this device, a Smart Home Controller is essential. This specialised hub acts as the command center for your smart ecosystem, ensuring robust, direct communication between devices without relying on the internet. This means increased reliability, enhanced security, and a faster response time.

Investing in a Smart Home Controller translates to a seamless, more efficient smart home experience. It enables advanced automation, allows for complex tasks, and provides a stable platform that future-proofs your setup. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a dedicated system designed to keep your home smart, responsive, and endlessly adaptable.

Standalone

Standalone Functionality

This device is designed to operate independently without the need for additional hardware. It offers simplicity and ease of use, perfect for immediate plug-and-play scenarios. While it can perform its primary functions on its own, integrating with a smart home controller can unlock advanced features, providing seamless interconnectivity with your other smart devices for a more holistic and automated experience.

Controller Recommended

While many of our smart devices operate independently with efficiency, incorporating a Smart Home Controller elevates your experience. It’s not just an addition; it’s a recommendation for those who aspire to a cohesive and synchronised smart home environment. The controller serves as the brain of your smart home, enabling devices to work collectively rather than just individually, thus optimising their potential.

Why a Controller?

  • Full Automation & Enhanced Functionality: While individual devices offer their unique capabilities, a controller weaves these functionalities together, creating a tapestry of smart interactions that anticipate and cater to your needs.

  • Custom Scenes & Centralised Control: Set the stage for any event or time of day with custom scenes that adjust your environment with a single command. Manage all your smart devices from one central location, making it easier than ever to oversee and control your smart home ecosystem.

Even without a controller, your devices are smart. But with it, they become a truly interconnected and intelligent system designed for an unparalleled smart living experience.

Hue Hub Needed

When using our lighting products, a dedicated Hue Hub not only ensures seamless integration and enhanced performance but also offers reliability that stands out.

  • Reliability: Even if the smart home controller has issues, your lights stay on.
  • Speed: Enjoy immediate, lag-free responses with a dedicated mesh network.
  • Backup: The Hub offers a fail-safe to keep lights working smoothly.
  • Peak Performance: Tailored for lighting, the Hub delivers flawless control.

The Hue Hub is the heart of a robust and responsive lighting ecosystem.
