Are You A Fit Landlord!

Happy New Year 2018, it’s that time of year when we review our health and fitness and resolve to go to the gym more regularly and acquire a set of abs. ‘Are you a fit landlord,’ is not an enquiry into your personal physique but rather a query into how you are bearing up as a property professional.

The private rental sector has been subjected to so much new legislation over the past 18 months: deregulation, new ways of processing fines, selective licensing, changes in taxes and deductions, as well as being in a recessive period where the returns on savings are small and the criteria for acquiring a mortgage hard to meet, the pressure landlords now weigh heavier than ever before.

During 2018 there is still more to come: general data protection regulations (GDPR), rogue landlord’s register, Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), possible abolition on fees to tenants.

Landlords are just about coming to terms with previous requirements, understanding prescribed information and their duties in compliance with those risk assessments and checks, along with documenting and keeping all of these items current and as required during the life of a tenancy.

Creative Green Energy (CGE) is like personal training for landlords, but we haven’t just devised a tutorial for you to watch and then leave you to get on with it. We provide the information and just like a personal trainer we are here until you are ready to go alone, and you can use our services as much as required, checking in to make sure that the techniques are still correct, adjusting the posture to changes in legislation as it occurs.

Most landlords are proficient at selecting the right tenant, but need assistance with the annual checks and risk assessments. CGE provides the all of the services that landlords need to fulfill the role of the property professionals that they have to be in this legislative environment that is the private rental sector.
