Let to the Council for Guaranteed Rent!

1.
Connect with Us:

We complete a form detailing basic property information: type and description of accommodation, furnished or unfurnished, heating type, window glazing, etc.

After a meeting with you when we outline how the Guaranteed Rent Scheme works and our landlord process, we confirm what we discussed in a letter to you that outlines our rental payment details, our fees, inspections, repairs, council tax liability, utilities, furniture requirements and vacant possession, etc.

We attach our General Standards guide, giving you more detailed information on our general property letting standard requirements and a Furniture Requirements checklist, room by room.

2.
Council Partnership:

We send you a letter of offer with details of what is needed: proof of ownership, proof of appropriate Building Insurance cover, safety reports, inventory, items to be removed or replaced, repair works if any, etc. and, if required, a Pre-letting Authorisation form, also to be completed (if we are required to carry out any or all of the following on your behalf, prior to the letting of your property – Gas Safety report, NICEIC Electrical Installation report, Portable Appliance Test report, Energy Performance Certificate, etc.).

On completion of all necessary works and submission of all appropriate documentation, we ask you to complete and sign a ‘Landlord Instruction to Manage’ agreement. It’s a 1-page straightforward document confirming contact, rental, your account details for payment, etc.

Enjoy Guaranteed Payments:

Once we have let your property, we send you a confirmation letter with management start date, date of first rental payment and your closing utility readings: gas, electricity and, where applicable, water.
