Things to consider

Whether you want to handle everything yourself, some of it, or absolutely none of it, we’ve got you covered! At Lemon Street Lettings, we deal with all aspects of lettings with tailor-made packages to suit all landlords.

Landlord Responsibilities

Energy Performance Certificate

An EPC is a document which sets out the energy performance of the property – This also helps determine running costs.

This is valid for 10 years. All landlords are required to purchase an EPC before letting a property.

Gas Safety Certificate

This is to ensure all appliances, pipes and flues are in safe and working order – this must be carried out every 12 months by a qualified Gas Safe Register engineer.

Electrical Installation Condition Report

An (EICR) identifies any problems with your properties electrical systems. This allows a qualified engineer to fix any problems, bringing your home up to a safe and legal standard.

From April 1st 2021 this becomes a l egal requirement.

Rental Guarantee schemes

Rent guarantee insurance covers your rental income if your tenants stop paying their rent.

With thousands of tenants going into arrears each year, renters insurance can provide landlords with peace of mind and valuable back-up.

Fire Safety

All landlords must provide installed and working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on their property. There must be at least one smoke alarm installed on every story and a carbon monoxide detector in any room containing a fuel-burning appliance.

Financial Responsibilities

It’s important to factor in the day to day running costs of a property into your financial calculations for rental yield.

For example:

Fit for habitation

In 2019 a new law came into force to make sure rented properties are ‘fit for human habitation’ meaning, it’s safe and free from things that could cause serious harm.

Having worked for a large Estate and Letting agent within Cornwall, I felt it was the right time to make the move and start Lemon Street Lettings Ltd. I am from the local area and have lived in Cornwall for most of my life, apart from a few years where I moved to London to learn the financial markets.

Customers reviews

'If anyone needs to find a place in Truro, this is the place to go! I went here and had a chat with Kirsty, the office is lovely and fresh. Kirsty was very welcoming and listened to the requirements I was looking for. I needed to move quickly and she accommodated and made sure my mind was put at ease. When I moved in, I had a brilliant welcome pack that had all the information I needed. I would strongly recommend Lemon Street Lettings to anyone.'

'Kirsty is absolutely amazing, her office is clean and professional, and not only is she incredibly professional but she actually cares about clients unlike a lot of places you will find. She managed to find my Dad and I the perfect apartment for us with no ridiculous over the top fees, and very little fuss. The welcome pack contains everything you need it to once you have moved and looked incredibly professional and well down, we could not be happier with our new home. If you’re looking to move home then Lemon Street Lettings is the ONLY choice!'
