Leasing property is an incredible method for producing second income and building extra savings for retirement, your children's' education or even those luxury things you've generally desired  for were right now suffering with a shortage of property in England and thus making leasing a home significantly more popular. There's never a lack of good tenants searching for property.

1. Responsibility of a Landlord:

• Keep your leased properties safe and free from health risks.
• Ensure all gas and electrical equipment is securely installed and kept up.
• Provide an Energy Performance Certificate for the property.
• Protect your tenant's store in a government affirmed scheme.
• Check your tenant has the right to lease your property if it's in England.
• Give your tenant a copy of the How to lease checklist when they begin leasing from you (you can email it to them.)

2. Check your Mortgage:

If you want to move out of your property and let it out, you will require authorization from your lender. If you don't, at that point you might be in breach of your mortgage conditions.

3. Get Spare Key Set:

Each tenant will require their own set, in addition to an extra set for yourself and one for your letting agent.

4. Finance your Next Move?
 

Many house movers release value from their home by re-mortgaging it as a purchase-to-let to finance their next buy, as well as picking up a property investment and turning into a landlord.

5. Purchase Smoke and Gas Alarms:

It is a legal necessity to fit carbon monoxide and smoke alarms inside a leased property, although where and what number of may need to be fitted will rely on the type and size of your property. We can advise you about this.

6. Tell the Services:
 

Make sure to tell the gas, phone, broadband, electricity, water and council tax people when you are moving out so you can pay your final bills previously transferring them to the tenants.

7. Notify your Insurer:

Perfectly landowners must have extra cover for their property when it is leased. This can incorporate public liability insurance in case a tenant or upkeep person is harmed inside the property. Also, a few landlords insure themselves against void periods when there is no-renting the property for long periods, or against the expenses of removing a tenant.

8. Grab a Gas Safety Certificate:

If your property has a gas boiler then you should have an endorsed engineer visit to check the boiler and its pipe and furnish you with a Landlord Gas Safety Record, a copy of which must be given to your tenants when they move in. You are also required to service the pipework and different gas equipment, for example, heaters to guarantee they are looked after securely.
