Fire Safety Regulations

Provide and test a carbon monoxide alarm in any room containing an appliance that burns solid fuel such as a coal fire or wood burning stove.
Check that escape routes are always accessible.
Ensure that any furniture and furnishings, including curtains and carpets, supplied with the property are ‘fire safe’. One way of doing this is checking for a label which states that the item complies with fire safety regulations.
Provide fire alarms and extinguishers if the property is a house in multiple occupation (HMO) with at least three storeys and containing at least five tenants.
Cleaning
Cleaning your property from top to bottom is an essential step when preparing to let your property. The tenant will be agreeing to keep the property in the same good quality state during the tenancy, with an allowance for normal “wear and tear” of course, so you want to set the standards high!
Inventory
A detailed digital Inventory with sufficient photographs is an essential factor before the tenants move into the property. This will ensure the easy deposit claim against any damages at the end of the tenancy.
Landlord Insurance
