Andy's advice for getting your property compliant

Is your investment property compliant?

In recent months, there has been a number of legislation changes in the past couple of years, with plenty more to come. And we understand that it can be overwhelming trying to keep on top of it all! That's why we're here to help. We'll always provide updates on any changes and make sure our landlords are compliant in all areas.

In this video, Andy provides essential guidance on making your rental property compliant, covering the following key areas:

• Electrical Installation Condition report (EICR): provides a comprehensive evaluation of the electrical wiring, circuits, sockets, switches, and other fixed electrical installations. It's a legal requirement for landlords to obtain an EICR for their rental properties, ensuring they meet electrical safety standards and regulations.
• Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs): EPCs rate the energy efficiency of your property on a scale from A to G. It's a legal requirement for rental properties to have an EPC rating between A and E, providing valuable information to tenants about energy costs and efficiency.
• Gas Safety Certificates: If your property has gas appliances, a gas safety certificate is a must. This ensures that all gas appliances comply with safety regulations and are safe to use. Remember to conduct an annual gas safety check by a Gas Safe engineer and provide the certificate to tenants.
• Smoke Alarms: Install smoke alarms on each floor of the property for early detection of fires. Regularly check and replace them to ensure they are in working order and compliant with safety standards.
• Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Protect tenants from carbon monoxide by installing alarms in rooms with gas appliances or solid fuel burning devices. Ensure they are in working order and replaced as per the stated expiry date.
