This specialised service helps landlords increase their revenue by up to 50% whilst reducing rent per tenant by up to 25%.

Our expert knowledge of HMO regulation takes into consideration the property size and amenities and optimizes the available space for residential use in accordance with the requirements of fire regulations and licensing standards.

Get the most out of the property license, boost your revenue, and give your tenants a better deal by allowing sharers to use spare rooms and/or available reception rooms, as explained in our article Opening Up Space in Bristol.

If you have an HMO with bills included, we can help!

No more worries about tenants overusing utilities or energy prices going up and leaving you out of balance. Our HMO addendum to your tenancy agreements comes with a clause of Fair Usage for utilities and a clause of Price Variation and in both cases, you are able to claim an increase of rent for both reasons, at any point in the tenancy.

We calculate the baseline charges per tenant with historical data and the price per energy unit at the point of signing the tenancy contract so that any significant change in usage or price (generally 25% up or down) can trigger an extra rent charge –or refund. The clause and initial calculations to include the price ranges in the contract cost £245 if required, and you can easily monitor the usage and price variation thereafter.

Our inspections are the opportunity for the tenants to raise any concerns they have with the house as well as to make sure the property is looked after appropriately. The Inspection Report (View PDF) you get after each visit shows the standard of the property up-keeping and complies with state-of-the-art legal requirements.

Any change of the terms of the contract, including tenant changeover, rent and/or dates modification, addendum, etc.

Alarms will be supplied & fit when and where required (price p/unit).

Once the tenants have left, we check the state of the property and make sure any damage is either repaired by the tenants or discounted from the deposit.

We renew all certificates required by the safety regulations, including:

• GSC Gas Safety Certificate - £60
• PAT Portable Appliance Test - £60
• EPC Energy Performance Certificate - £60
• EPC must be produced before the property is put on the market, therefore payment may be required in advance.
• Smoke Alarm Certificate - £60
• For mains, interlinked LD3 grade systems only.
• Emergency Lights Certificate - £60
• EIC Electrical Installation Certificate - £15 per circuit - Min. £75
• Soft Furnishing Certificate - £45
• Legionnaires' Risk Assessment - £40 / Yearly Review - £40
• Residential Property Risk Assessment - £75
• Fire Safety Evaluation - £55 
• All these certificates are charged at contractor's price, which may vary without notice depending on the contractor's fees. We only add our 12% fee (Min. £20) the first time the assessment is done.

If you are too busy to pay a bill or an invoice, or to collect an item at your property, we can do this and charge for it directly from the rent (service available for Managed properties only). This does not include any claim or legal proceeding, nor any mortgage or insurance contract which are the direct responsibility of the landlord.

We will process your application, which includes gathering all the required information, complying with the requirements of the form, and submitting the final application electronically in your name. Note that a £50 discount in the license fee will be granted by the Council thanks to our belonging to the Rent With Confidence Membership Scheme.

Whenever necessary, we produce disclaimers and waivers to protect the landlord's responsibility or their property. The following documents will be signed by the tenants if required:

• Pet Addendum Cat/Dog: sets the requisites for tenants to have pets, including the need to contract Pet Insurance to cover any damage to the property.
• Appliances Disclaimer: to transfer the responsibility of appliances to the tenants for them to keep and maintain the appliances.
• Solid Fuel Notice: to get the tenants on board on how to use, maintain and keep a solid fuel appliance safe.
• Soft Furnishing disclaimer: when the landlord transfers the soft furnishing to the tenants, including any associated responsibility.

If you have an HMO with bills included and you are worried that your tenants might overuse the utilities or that the energy prices might go up suddenly and leave you out of balance, we can help. Our HMO agreements come with a clause of Fair Usage for utilities and a clause of Price Variation by default and in both cases, you are able to claim an increase of rent for these reasons, at any point in the tenancy. We can help calculate the baseline charges per tenant based on historical data, and the price per energy unit at the point of signing the tenancy contract, so that any significant increase in usage or price further down the line can trigger an extra rent charge. The initial calculations to include the price ranges in the contract cost £245 if required, and the monitoring of the price variation is included in our management service.

When the landlord takes their property back and doesn't require our services any longer, we issue a final invoice for terminating our contractual relationship and sending over any pending document that the landlord may require.
