Landlord Guide to Letting Your Property with Anglo Homes

At Anglo Homes, we pride ourselves on providing a complete, hassle-free property management service. With over 30 years of experience, we have built a reputation for professionalism, efficiency, and reliability. This is why more than eight out of ten landlords and tenants renew their agreements with us year after year.

Letting a property involves much more than simply finding a tenant. From legal compliance and financial management to ongoing maintenance and tenant relations, there are many responsibilities for landlords. Anglo Homes takes care of it all, ensuring your investment is well looked after while you enjoy peace of mind.

Preparing Your Property for Letting

Before tenants move in, landlords must ensure their property is legally compliant, safe, and market-ready. This includes:

Mortgage Consent – Ensuring your lender approves letting the property (if applicable).
Insurance – Arranging appropriate landlord insurance, covering buildings, contents (if furnished), and public liability.
Compliance & Safety – Obtaining and renewing all required certificates:
- Gas Safety Certificate (annual)
- Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR – every 5 years)
- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC – valid for 10 years, rating E or above)
- Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms (must be installed and tested)
Utilities & Bills – Confirming meter readings, supplier details, and council tax setup.
Keys & Access – Providing sufficient sets of keys for tenants and property management staff.
Inventory & Condition Report – Ensuring a professional inventory is prepared to protect against disputes.

Anglo Homes can organise and oversee all of the above on your behalf, ensuring your property meets current legislation and is ready for tenants.

Once your property is prepared, Anglo Homes will manage it throughout the tenancy, including:
