Who it's for

Built for landlords who don't have an agent doing this for them

Most landlords on Merseyside own one to three properties. The new rules apply to you exactly as they do to big portfolios. You just don't have a compliance team.

Self-managing landlords

Know exactly what each property needs, without paying an agent 10–15% to tell you.

Accidental landlords

Decent Homes StandardA minimum standard for the condition of private rented homes, enforced by councils. The start date isn't confirmed yet.
Awaab's LawStrict deadlines to investigate and fix damp, mould and other hazards. The start date for private rentals isn't confirmed yet.
