At Millennium residential we take great pride in managing your property or property portfolio – making your investment(s) stress free.

 

A tailored service designed to suit you

Deposit

It is compulsory that all deposits are registered. Under new legislation introduced on 6th April 2007, any deposit taken can be registered with; Deposit Protection Service, (DPS), My Deposits or Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). Whichever scheme is used, we will give all tenants the information for them to read and sign prior to move in.

 

Gas

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 deal with landlords duties to make sure gas pipe work, appliances and chimneys/flues provided for tenants are safe.

It is the landlords responsibility to comply with the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998, Which states that a Landlord must arrange a Gas safety Inspection at the property to be carried out by a GAS SAFE registered engineer. This must be done every 12 months. As part of our management service we organise this on your behalf.

 

Electrical

Landlords must ensure that all electrical appliances and the electrical supply is ‘safe’ and will not cause danger. Millennium residential therefore suggest that you arrange for your local Electricity Board or a self-certified NICEIC qualified electrician to carry out an inspection of the wiring and all electrical appliances throughout your property prior to any letting. As part of our management service we organise this on your behalf.

 

Furniture and furnishings

The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 (as amended in 1989, 1993 and 2010)

It is the landlord’s legal responsibility to ensure that any furniture in the property (whether originally provided or added during the Tenancy) complies with these regulations. You will need to ensure that the furniture in the property carries the manufacturer’s permanent and fixed label showing compliance at the point of sale. If compliance cannot be proved, the item must be removed and replaced. The regulations basically apply to all upholstery and upholstered furnishings, loose fittings, permanent or loose covers, manufactured after 1950. The offence carries a punishment of six months imprisonment or a fine to a maximum of £5,000 or both

 

Tax advice for overseas landlords

Under the Finance Act 1995, any landlord considered a non-resident for tax purposes has to pay United Kingdom Income Tax. Millennium residential are obliged by law to deduct tax from rental monies received unless we receive an ‘Exemption Certificate’ from the Inland Revenue. Whilst it is the landlord’s responsibility to obtain the ‘Exemption Certificate’, we can advise you on how to go about applying for it.
