Letting, done properly.

Let Only is 6%, Rent Collection 10%, and Full Management 12% of rent collected — see the full fee breakdown below.

Yes — every tenancy we manage meets Gas Safety, EPC, electrical safety and the other requirements set out below.

Yes — we can take on management of a tenancy that's already in place, picking up compliance, rent collection and day-to-day contact from wherever you are now.

With Let Only we advertise your property, find and reference a tenant and prepare the tenancy agreement, and you manage the tenancy from there. Rent Collection includes all of that, plus we collect the rent, register the deposit and provide statements on demand. Full Management adds property inspections every four months, maintenance handling and a dedicated team for day-to-day care of the tenancy. Which suits you depends on how hands-on you want to be.

You need a Gas Safety Certificate from a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months (if there is a gas appliance), an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) at least every five years, a valid EPC with a rating of at least E, working smoke alarms on every floor used as living accommodation, and carbon monoxide alarms in any room with a fixed combustion appliance (gas cookers excepted). Tenants must be given copies of the gas safety record, EICR and EPC. Local authorities can fine landlords who don't comply.

Currently a rented home needs an EPC rating of at least E. In January 2026 the government confirmed that privately rented homes in England must reach the equivalent of EPC band C by 1 October 2030, with a cap of £10,000 on what a landlord is required to spend per property. Check your property's current rating on the GOV.UK EPC register now, so you can plan upgrades such as insulation well ahead of the deadline.

From 1 May 2026, Section 21 "no-fault" evictions were abolished and almost all tenancies became assured periodic tenancies with no fixed end date. To regain possession you now need a valid ground under Section 8 — for example if you want to sell or move in. Rent can be increased once a year with a Section 13 notice, and rental bidding is banned. A national landlord database starts rolling out from late 2026, with a Landlord Ombudsman to follow. We can prepare and serve Section 8 and Section 13 notices for you.

Possibly. Enfield Council runs three schemes: a mandatory licence for houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) with five or more people from more than one household; an additional HMO licence, borough-wide since 1 September 2025, for three or four people from two or more households; and selective licensing for other private lets (one or two people, or one family) in designated wards. The selective scheme covers 17 wards from 1 September 2026, including Edmonton Green, Upper Edmonton and Lower Edmonton. Letting without a required licence can lead to penalties, so check with Enfield Council before you let.

Profit from letting is taxable income. You pay income tax on the rent you receive less allowable expenses such as agent fees, repairs and insurance. Mortgage interest isn't deducted; instead you get a tax credit worth 20% of your finance costs. The November 2025 Budget announced separate property income tax rates of 22%, 42% and 47% from 6 April 2027. Rental profit is generally reported on a Self Assessment tax return — an accountant can advise on your own position.

We compare your property with similar homes let, or on the market to let, nearby, taking into account size, condition, furnishings, location, transport links and current tenant demand. A realistic rent usually lets faster and with fewer empty weeks than an optimistic one, which protects your income over the year. We offer a free rental valuation with no obligation.
