Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms

From the 1st October 2015 new legislation is coming into force whereby landlords must provide all residential properties with a fitted smoke detector on each storey and also fit a carbon monoxide alarm in rooms with gas appliances and/or a solid flue. Landlords must ensure all safety alarms are tested at the start of a new tenancy granted after this date and failure to do so could result in fines of up to &5000.00. Although these new regulations do not apply to any existing periodic tenancies it would be best practice to install them as soon as possible.

Local fire and rescue services are distributing FREE alarms to encourage landlords to meet their safety obligations so why not get in touch with them now?! Alternatively please contact your local agent who can assist with providing information/costs/installation of the safety alarms, click here to locate your closest Hunters branch.

Rent arrears – What would you do?

Rent arrears are always a big concern for Landlords when renting out your property and the Accounts Department at Hunters work hard to ensure your tenants are making prompt payments. We are very proud of the fact that as a company Hunters rent arrears as of 1st May 2015 were just 0.83% on the total rent roll.

If you have concerns about your Tenant falling into rent arrears Hunters can offer a Rent Recovery product which would pay out on non-receipt of 2 months’ rent and covers all legal fees.
