Eiddo iola jones Properties provides a range of letting and management services, tailored to meet your individual needs. You can be assured that we have a detailed understanding of the residential lettings and management sector and will ensure that you are given the best possible service.

Our aim at Eiddo iola jones Properties is to provide a personal and flexible service to reflect the diverse needs of our clients. For example, a client who does not have the necessary time to achieve the best return on their portfolio, a non-resident landlord who needs an agent they can fully rely on to manage their property or someone who just feels a little out of their depth to keep up with Rent Smart Wales regulations. We pride ourselves on providing a totally trustworthy and excellent value for money service. Our rates are highly competitive, fair and transparent. Your investment is our business.

WHERE TO START?

1. Local Lettings Agent – we would suggest strongly that you find a local agent who is associated to a Trade Association. In choosing us, you have come to the right place - Eiddo iola jones Properties is a member of ARLA, The Property Ombudsman (TPO) plus is registered with Rent Smart and takes the necessity for compliancy very seriously indeed.

2. Having chosen your agent, you will be required to prepare your property for rental and below we list a few guidelines to assist you:

The rental market is competitive therefore, in order to obtain the best possible Tenants; it is worth presenting your property in the most effective way. We are more than happy to visit your property for a more detailed appraisal.

• Interior walls should be neutral colours and carpets plain
• Fabrics and Furnishings (if any) should be able to withstand reasonable wear and tear, be of suitable quality and comply with The Furniture and Furnishings Regulation 1988
• Pet odours should be eliminated
• The front door should be clean and the Entrance Hall clear of any obstructions as first impressions are important
• The entire property should be clean and well-aired and the garden tidy.
• If the weather is cold, heating should be turned on and, in warmer conditions, windows opened
• For any other advice contact your Agent

 
3. Other important considerations for Landlords before Letting
• Written consent must be obtained from your Mortgage Provider/Freeholder (if property is leasehold).
• Your Insurance Company must be notified that the property is to be rented out and appropriate insurance obtained for a tenanted property. There are specialist insurance companies who can provide this and we would be happy to assist you.
• The Inland Revenue must also be informed within 6 months of letting your property, flat or apartment in the UK and failure to do so will incur penalties, interest and other consequences. The Inland Revenue are apt to deal harshly with Landlords who do not declare rental income and it is always best to seek advice on tax planning and Capital Gains Tax from a fully qualified Accountant.
• Mail should be redirected with the Post Office.
• Further copies of keys will need to be provided, at least two if you have Management Agents acting for you.
• Utilities such as gas/electricity/water/telephone & Council Tax will have to be transferred to the successful Tenant.
• An Inventory and Check In should be drawn up. This is an important legal document which forms an integral part of the Tenancy Agreement and, as such, it is a false economy to prepare your own in most cases.

 
The Inventory is required whether the property to let is furnished or unfurnished and accurate descriptions of the overall condition of wall/floor coverings, kitchen and bathroom fittings to name but a few are essential. Amounts cannot be withheld from the Tenant’s deposit unless the loss or damage is proved to have been caused by the Tenant.

In the event that any dispute concerning loss or damage to your property is not amicably resolved then the matter will be referred to arbitration and the Courts but it should be noted that any judgement will be on the basis of written documentation – the Inventory.

A basic inventory report is included in our letting fee, but for an additional cost you may prefer to utilise an independent service which provides a full, detailed report.

4. TENANCY – The Housing Act 1988 (amended 1996) has given rise to two types of Tenancy: Assured and Assured Short hold Tenancy as well as the existing Company Tenancy and Contractual Tenancy.

A) ASSURED TENANCY

Certain criteria have to be satisfied for a tenancy to qualify for assured status. Assured Tenancy gives the Tenant security of tenure but at a market rent negotiated between the parties. The Landlord may request back possession of the property let on an Assured Tenancy but must obtain a COURT ORDER. This has its advantages but is not as flexible.

B) ASSURED SHORTHOLD TENANCY (AST)

This Tenancy is attractive to Landlords as it offers market rents without security of tenure beyond the contractual term and the majority of Tenancies are based on this format. However, certain criteria must first be met:

  a) The Tenant must be an individual
  b) The property must be the Tenant’s main residence/home
  c) The rent cannot exceed £25,000 per annum
  d) The Landlord must not occupy the same property

If the property is let under an Assured Short hold Tenancy, the Landlord can issue a Section 21 Notice to guarantee possession provided the term of the Short hold is expired and not less than two months notice has been given by the Landlord stating he requires possession.

If court action is needed, this can be obtained on a number of different grounds against the Tenant.

However, it should be noted that is a criminal offence under the Protection from Evictions Act 1977, for a Landlord to threaten or forcibly evict a Tenant from their property.

C) COMPANY TENANCY

This is governed by contract law and is not regulated by the Housing Acts of 1988 or 1996. It is used when a Private or Public Limited Company (excluding partnership or sole trader) want to enter into a Tenancy. There is no security of tenure and rental payments are often made on a quarterly basis by prior agreement.

D) CONTRACTUAL TENANCY

Contractual Tenancy also falls outside the provisions of the Housing Acts of 1988 and 1996 and is not regulated by statute. It is most commonly used where the rent exceeds £25,000 per annum and both parties have the freedom to contract as they choose, but must then rely solely on the provisions of that Agreement.
