Our business is supported by several professional bodies to ensure we provide you with a first class service and that all legal requirements connected to renting are met.

Gas Safety
By law the landlord must comply with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and subsequent associated legislation. The landlord must have all gas systems, appliances and flues checked at least every 12 months by a CORGI registered engineer, following which a safety certificate in a prescribed format must be obtained and a copy issued to the tenant. We work alongside reliable and CORGI registered plumbers who provide an excellent service.

Electrical Safety
The landlord is responsible for ensuring that all electrical appliances supplied in the accommodation must be safe for use. We are happy to arrange for the necessary electrical inspections by our qualified electricians to be carried out on your behalf.

Domestic Energy Assessors (DEA)
Under Article 7 of the European Directive on Energy Performance of Buildings, any building which is sold, rented out or constructed must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). This must be issued by a qualified and accredited assessor in an independent manner. Once produced an EPC is valid for ten years. The certificate is accompanied by recommendations on how to improve energy efficiency. These do not however have to be implemented. This part of the Directive has been implemented into law in England and Wales by the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations (2007/991). From 1st October 2008, whenever a rental property is let to a new tenant an EPC is required. Letters of Distinction have reached an agreement with a local DEA, Allhip, to provide the guidance and EPC required for rental properties.
