News from our sister site at Etsy:



In the world of Residential Letting, the sole current topic of conversation is Compliance.  Why?  Because, by December 27th 2025, local authorities will have much greater powers to demand that Residential landlords have completed all the necessary actions to be legally compliant with the many requirements now placed on them -, with stiff penalties for landlords who are not compliant.  Such compliances include, for example, gas safety, electrical safety, fire safety, standard of insulation, Registration (increasingly insisted upon by the London Boroughs), documents that must be handed over to tenants at the start of a tenancy, money laundering checks etc. etc.  

Fortunately, some help is at hand for overstretched landlords with a new guide from the Rivey Publishing Company covering in detail the Compliants that they must meet and even including sections to record what actions they have undertaken and when.  Click the link below to go to the Menzsoft shop on Etsy to order your copy.  It is entitled " Legal Compliances for Letting Agents & Landlords" and is being sold as a digital download,

Please note that we are currently offering a paper copy of the same publication through Ebay.  Search on Landlord legal compliances and similar.
