If you’re a landlord, you’ll understand that protecting your assets is a top priority. Property law can be confusing but it’s important that landlords understand the basics to ensure their investment is protected.
There are many property law services available specifically for landlords and a professional lawyer can ensure that you’re getting the most out of your investment. If you’ve recently invested in property or become a landlord for the first time, see below for some of the property law services available for landlords.
Tenancy agreements
A tenancy agreement is a legal contract between you and your tenants. It’s arguably the most important document you have as a landlord so it’s important to get it right! A property lawyer can help you draft a tenancy agreement and ensure that all your desired legal terms and conditions are included.
Debt recovery
Unfortunately, sometimes rent can go unpaid, even if this breaches the terms of your tenancy agreement. If you want to show your tenants that you’re serious about collecting unpaid rent, debt recovery services can help. Services can include sending a pre-court action letter, or sending a team of debt recovery specialists and bailiffs to the property.
Tenant eviction
Eviction of tenants can occur for several reasons; perhaps they’ve failed to regularly pay rent on time or haven’t maintained the property to the required standards. A property lawyer can help you with the eviction process by sending a legal notice on your behalf or representing you during court proceedings.
Mortgage information
Property lawyers are on hand to offer general advice and information about your mortgage. This can help you understand the terms and conditions of your mortgage and ensure you’re getting the best possible deal. Buy-to-let mortgages are specifically designed for landlords who want to take advantage of the rental income and potential capital appreciation, and a property lawyer can make sure you fully understand what’s involved.
