LANDLORDS
DON’T TAKE THE LAW INTO YOUR OWN HANDS
For Shropshire landlords exposed to over 170 regulations the risks are too significant to ignore. With the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) providing 29 intricate subsections alone, the stakes couldn't be higher. But fear not, because Samuel Wood Lettings Specialists stand ready to shoulder the burden and navigate the complexities on your behalf. With Government introducing new regulations, landlords must keep abreast of changes. Arguably, the biggest shake up in the private rental sector, The Renters (Reform) Bill has brought about legislative transformations to test the mettle of landlords and managing agents. Of course, such action has attracted increased attention from local authorities
who seek to prosecute non-compliant landlords, with the HHSRS framework providing markers for intervention. Many existing landlords are already overlooking key existing pieces of legislation which can range from allowing safety certificates to expire, not registering a deposit, not conducting right-to-rent checks to more complex issues such as licensing. Whatever it is, all these common mistakes carry a lot of liability. Picture this: hundreds of properties across Shropshire seamlessly managed by our team of experts. Our dedicated tenancy managers, under the guidance of our experienced ARLA-qualified Head of Lettings ensures that every aspect of your property portfolio is meticulously handled with care and precision.
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to proactive risk management. We are locally renowned for our free compliance health checks, educational Landlord webinars (which our competitors attend!) offering invaluable insights into potential hazards and regulatory pitfalls that could threaten your investment and personal reputation.
But here's the kicker: the consequences of neglecting these risks are far too great to gamble with. From legal liabilities to financial losses, the fallout can be devastating, even a custodial sentence in the worst-case scenario.
At Samuel Wood we want to support and inform landlords how to stay safe and compliant while enjoying the benefits of property investment. With this in mind, and the emergence of new regulations most landlords are choosing to opt for a fully managed service, garnering the benefits of tenant vetting, avoidance of void incomes and optimisation of rental returns.
Where necessary, bespoke packages are tailored to meet the needs of landlords who prefer to assume specific roles and responsibilities themselves.
To further underpin our commitment to quality, our lettings team works in collaboration with a specialist rostrum of approved tradespeople who carry out day-to-day and emergency maintenance works.
It is this panel of approved contractors who ensure a quick and reliable service is delivered 24/7 to benefit both landlord and tenant alike.
It is not just ‘hearsay’ that Samuel Wood boasts a reputation for quality and performance, praise from satisfied customers is testament to our lettings service and the gratitude felt:
“I moved my portfolio of several properties to Samuel Wood Lettings as our previous agent was consistently falling behind and provided only a moderate service.
In contrast, the Samuel Wood team is highly informed and proactive.
I would strongly recommend Samuel Wood to any existing Shropshire landlord who is dissatisfied with their present arrangement and would not hesitate to refer any new landlords who are looking for a no-nonsense approach and professional guidance.” RW
