Landlords<br />
Frequently<br />
Asked Questions<br />
1. How does the Tenancy Agreement work?<br />
The majority of property will be let using an Assured<br />
Shorthold Tenancy Agreement, usually for an initial<br />
period of six or twelve months. At the end of that<br />
term, if the agreement is not renewed or terminated,<br />
the tenancy will continue on periodic basis. We<br />
recommend a further fixed term for the security of<br />
tenure for both parties.<br />
Any property specific additional clauses will be agreed<br />
prior to and incorporated within the agreement, and<br />
we ask both landlord and tenant to read the contract<br />
carefully before signing, and will answer any queries.<br />
Both landlord and tenant sign the agreement (either<br />
by our electronic signature or hardcopy) and these<br />
will be exchanged with both parties receiving the<br />
copy signed by the other for safekeeping.<br />
2. Why is it beneficial for Landlords and<br />
Tenants to use an ARLA Propertymark<br />
Licensed Agent?<br />
ARLA Propertymark is committed to providing the<br />
highest standards within the letting and management<br />
profession. Landlords can be assured that their ARLA<br />
Propertymark agents are up-to-date with legislation,<br />
regulations, case law and market developments. A<br />
landlord’s funds are protected through the Client<br />
Money Protection Scheme and agents are required to<br />
hold Professional Indemnity Insurance.<br />
By choosing a registered agent such as Symonds &<br />
Sampson you can have peace of mind that you are<br />
working with a professional and trustworthy agent<br />
that adheres to the high standards and requirements<br />
of ARLA Propertymark membership.
