What do you really get for your money when you work with agents and who is ultimately responsible when it comes to fines and legislation failure?

Did you know that as the landlord, even if you’re paying an agent 8-12% of your monthly rental income to an agent, you are still liable for ensuring all the correct legislation is in place, protecting the deposit and ensuring that the tenant has all the correct paperwork. If your agent fails to do so - the fine will be landing on YOUR doorstep.

So what do you really need to know about working with agents - and how could you save money when letting your property? We're joined by a lettings expert to clarify what your liability is, so you can make sure that everything is just as it should be.

Suddenly, those higher rents don’t feel so guaranteed. So how do you handle rent arrears?

Paul Shamplina joins us to talk about:

* How to minimise your risk of rent arrears

* How to handle rent arrears when they first happen

* When to consider legal intervention
