Compliance and Insurance

We understand all the residential property management challenges landlords must face while simultaneously running the business, so we have developed an end-to-end property management service that ensures a smooth and effective tenancy process from start to finish.  Kerr and Co Residential offers a full property management service that allows landlords to maximise their return on investment without it taking up any of their time whilst giving peace of mind that their investments are being properly looked after by a professional managing agent.

Our team of experienced property managers will keep you updated on current legislation, repairs and maintenance  and advise you on everything related to property management.

What about inventories?

These are essential and it is recommended that an inventory is made by a professional company to avoid omissions or errors. They should always be made at the start and finish of the tenancy to identify missing items, breakages and damages liable to be covered out of the tenant's deposit.

What other regulations could affect a landlord?

Regulations are constantly changing, particularly with regard to safety. Currently these cover furnishings, gas and electrical installations. Kerr & Co Estate Agents will be able to advise you about compliance with these new and difficult regulations and recommend companies to carry out testing. New regulations came into force in 1996 on responsibility for tax liabilities on rental income for non-U.K. resident landlords (N.R.L. Scheme). Kerr & Co Estate Agents will advise you of your liabilities and the procedures to be followed to satisfy the Inland Revenue.

As a landlord or a tenant, I want to know, what is management?

Management is a service provided by the estate agent to protect and maintain a property to the standard it was in at the beginning of the tenancy, fair wear and tear excepted. It includes all maintenance and running repairs, except for those items that are clearly the tenant's responsibility.
