Stay on the safe side of regulation, hire an agent

With the increasing number of regulations affecting the private rental market, the safest way to comply with all of it at a minimum cost is to hire an agent.

This strategy will avoid common mistakes like complex safety certificates that are often overlooked, but it will also rule out potential hefty fines that are targetted to landlords, as this article highlights.

More importantly, agents are professional, they have the experience, they have the knowledge, and they are liable for the quality of their work and advice to the landlord, and therefore, their responsibility is always covered.
