  Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

Before marketing, you will need to provide use with an EPC for your property. If you don't have one, we can arrange for an assessment to be carried out and a certificate issued. Please ask us for a quote.

An EPC contains information regarding a property's energy use and typical energy costs, as well as suggestions for reducing energy consumption and saving money.

In England, it is a legal requirement for rental properties to have an EPC rating of at least E.

We will also notify our database of registered tenants who are looking for properties like yours. 

Our attractive boards can create quite a buzz around a property, so we recommend having a sign too.

  Prospective Tenants

Once we have found you a tenant who would be a good match for your property, we will put them forward to you for approval before proceeding to tenant referencing and checks.

Should you wish to go ahead, we will collect a holding deposit equivalent to one week's rent from from the tenant and move to the next stage.

  Tenant Checks

Although there is high demand for rental properties, finding one suitable for your particular property can make the difference between it being well cared for and respected, and your rent being paid on time.

That's why when we find you a tenant, we carry out diligent referencing checks that includes:

• Credit Check
• Employer References
• Affordability Checks
• Proof of Address
• Proof of Identity
• Previous Landlord Reference
• Right-to-Rent Check (legally required)
• Guarantor Checks (if required)

  Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements (AST's)

The majority of tenancy agreements are Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreements. which we can prepare for you.

Providing your tenant with a tenancy agreement is a legal requirement and protects you, as well as your tenant.

  Security Deposits

 A security deposit can be no more than the equivalent of 5 weeks rent.

Deposits must be registered with a government endorsed Tenant Deposit Scheme within 30 days of the tenancy starting. 

In most instances, we collect deposits on behalf of landlords and register them with our DPS.

  Inventory and Check-In

To avoid disputes at the end of tenancies or issues arising during them, it is advisable to us an inventory at check-in. This lists everything that is in the property, their condition, including any marks, scratches or damage to paintwork or any other goods supplied with property. This can then be used as reference at the end of tenancy to make deposit disputes less likely. 

We can arrange for an inventory to be created and full check-in procedures to be carried out. 

  Rent Collection Service

Collecting rent each month can be time consuming and tedious. Inside Homes keeps on top of rental collection and chases any late payments promptly. We make sure our landlords are kept informed if there appears to be any difficulty in collection rental payments and will advise on appropriate action should it become necessary.
