| Customer Reviews: Excellent - every landlord needs a copy December 13, 2009 S. Bailey (London) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've heard it estimated that there are more than 50 bits of legislation affecting residential lettings. For new landlords, it can be an absolute quagmire to navigate - and even for experienced landlords, it's hardly easy. Tessa Shepperson is an experienced and knowledgeable solicitor specialising in residential property matters, and she is the perfect person to guide us through the chaos.
The book covers all the areas that a landlord will need to consider, beginning with an overview of the legal framework and all the different regulations that need to be obeyed. There are further chapters on finding a tenant, preparing the paperwork, tenancy deposits, matters which might arise during the life of the tenancy, and the end of the tenancy. A chapter on problem tenants is particularly useful. Everything is written with admirable clarity, and is immensely readable. If you only buy one book as a landlord, make it this one.
What's particularly impressive about this book is that it's updated so frequently. My 2008 edition covers, for example, tenancy deposit schemes and Local Housing Allowance, both fairly recent changes. This diligence from both author and publisher is commendable, and I hope that this will continue for many more editions to come.
Highly Recommended for Both New and Experienced Landlords October 28, 2009 Darcy (UK, Kent) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I work very closely with both landlords and tenants and therefore, I decided to buy this book and I am very impressed by the contents and invaluable knowledge on offer.
The book covers several important topics such as; the legal framework, gas regulations, houses in multiple occupation and more importantly from our perspective; the inventory, which I believe plays a key part if in the unfortunate circumstance, the landlord finds him/herself in a dispute with the tenant or vice versa.
We at Mulberry inventories have come across many disputes, where the landlord has failed to compile an independent inventory. Therefore, it is refreshing to see the author highlight the importance of getting an impartial inventory document compiled.
I have no hesitation in recommending this book to anyone, especially if you are contemplating on letting out your property, as it will in the long-term save you from making a costly mistake.
