Landlord Today: The licensing of private landlords is on the horizon. This regulation has cross-party support and is in the pipeline to be completed in the next few years. If you’re already a private landlord you will automatically qualify for licensing but moving forward new landlords will have to meet the regulation.

 

Property Investors Today: Will retail to residential property conversions continue to grow? Vast changes forced by COVID-19 have brought into sharp focus the dilemmas that high-street retailers are facing right now. Retailers are looking to use the space of their properties to incorporate residential property also.

• If you have a HMO property and one of your tenants falls pregnant you must contact them to further understand their plans as you cannot have a HMO tenant with a newborn baby. In this situation you can retain the tenant buy offering them a single-let property as an alternative.
  
  

You must do your due-diligence with tenant references. As a landlord, there are three further checks you can do to ensure you’re entering into a contract with your ideal tenant. 1. Ask them for 6-months previous paycheck/proof of rental payment. 2. Ask the second to last landlord for their reference. 3. Use a credit check platform to check their eligibility to let your property.
