Landlord Information

Teignbridge Letting Company specialise in the letting and management of residential properties on behalf of private owners in the Teignbridge area. TLC understands that your property is a most important asset and that renting can be a worrying experience. You are assured that it is in professional hands and will be managed with the Tender Loving Care it deserves. TLC aims to provide a value for money service by keeping costs and overheads to a minimum and since no VAT is payable this is an additional financial advantage to property owners.

You do not need to research very far in to the field of Residential Property Lettings to realise that it is actually a minefield of potentially costly errors. Using a reputable and reliable agent can take much of the stress out of the business of letting a property. Of all the things that have to be dealt with when letting out a property TLC believes that the most important thing that a property owner can remember throughout the process is that renting out a house is a business transaction. Using an agent to let and manage your property is a valid tax deductible business expense and could save you so much worry.

Choosing an agent can be difficult but the decision should be made as early as possible.  Your agent can advise you on many areas which may save you both time and money. If you have decided to let out a property that you already own then your chosen agent can give you invaluable advice on what you need to do, and often what you do not need to do, to prepare the property ready for the rental market.  If you have decided to purchase a property to let as an investment then early consultation, even prior to the offer/purchase, could save expense and grief further down the line.

There are so many pieces of Legislation which have to be taken in to account that dozens of books have been written on the subject.  TLC has written some Guidance for Landlords ** which gives an overview but is far from exhaustive.  It does have links to websites with more detailed information on each subject referred to.  Please be aware that not only is the Legislation constantly changing but the interpretation of that Legislation by the Courts can change as judgements are made on individual cases. See our landlord guide.
