Advice For Tenants

Whether this is your first move or one of many, Amelia The King aim is to make it as straight forward and trouble free as possible. Here are a few of the basic steps in becoming a tenant. Register on as many lists as possible and be as clear as you can about your requirements, rental properties can be snapped up as quickly as they come on the market so make sure the agent is looking out for you.

Deposit And Costs

A deposit is always taken from a tenant prior to the occupation of the property. The deposit remains the property of the tenant throughout the tenancy and it is recommended that this amount be held by the letting agent whether they are instructed to manage the property or otherwise. They will not release these funds unless you are satisfied with the check out report at the end of the tenancy. The deposit is held against dilapidations and would not be accepted as a rental payment, nor should it be used for any purpose other than a stated in the agreement. 

What You Need

Once you find one you like you will need to provide references and a deposit. You then need to concentrate on the move itself getting in touch with utility providers to arrange your gas and electric connection, protecting your possessions is also something you should look into. 

Advice For Landlords

The type of tenant you go for will depend on your requirements. The majority of tenants are working professionals, on company relocations, or overseas relocations. Which ever, you need to be sure they will be fully referenced with FCC PARAGON and the relevant information forwarded to you for your approval. Make sure you give the letting agent of your choice the profile of the type of person that you wish to let your property to, at the same time you need to be mindful that the tighter you are with your requirements the longer it can take to find you a tenant.

The Tenancy Agreement

The letting agent will prepare a professionally drafted tenancy agreement to suit your requirements. Some companies, in particular banks prefer to use their own agreements, these are usually drafted by the relevant legal department and suitably prepared. Which ever, you will be provided with a copy of the same in order that you may familiarise yourself with the content and take advice if necessary. Letting agents will be happy to offer any additional information if you request it, many are personally assisted by a firm of solicitors with the specialist knowledge of the property law and are continually informed of any changes in respect of the same. 

About Inventories

All landlords are advised to provide a detailed inventory when renting out their property. This is necessary to protect any possessions remaining in the property. It is impossible to make deductions from a tenants deposit without a schedule of condition of all the items before commencement of tenancy and afterwards. Once an inventory has been prepared, it may be possible to use the same for a number of years, by simply updating it. Why not let us prepare your inventory for you and save yourself the hassle. 

Tax Implications

Income tax is payable on all rental income arising from property in the United Kingdom regardless of the residential status of the landlord. Landlords living in the UK should include details of their income and expenditure when completing their income tax returns in the usual manner. Under the 1995 Finance Act, the lettings agent is obliged to advise the Inland Revenue that a letting has been arranged for a landlord who is non resident for UK tax purposes. 

The Agent is liable for the payment of any tax, which arises from the letting and must therefore retain monies at the current tax rate, to cover this liability. Non resident landlords can apply to the Inland Revenue for an assessment on income from rental property. If this is granted, then the Inland Revenue will issue an exemption certificate and the agent will then be no longer bound to retain tax on the rental income. 

Agents do not undertake to submit your tax returns and would recommend that you appoint an accountant to handle your tax affairs. 

Lettings And Your Mortgage

If your property is under mortgage then you are required to inform the lender of your intention to rent out the premises. There will usually be no objection, provided payments are up to date, but there maybe an annual administration charge applicable, which will vary from lender to lender.
