Letting Agents & Estate Agent in Letchworth
Legislation
We always keep abreast of industry legislation concerning the sale of residential property as well as the latest laws relating to tenancies and the letting of residential property. Laws can, and do change from time to time so we are able to supply our clients with up to date information on all relevant legislation and how this could affect them.
In addition to this we are proud members of the The Property Ombudsman who offer a consumer redress service should they need to be called upon. We adhere to their strict code of conduct giving our customers complete piece of mind when using our services.
As a condition of our membership with TPO it is neccesary to hold professional indemnity insurance and insurances for public liability, ensuring full protection to our clients and thier homes.
Our client money is protected using the Deposit Protection Service where all tenancy deposits are impartially lodged. This is a governement backed organisation providing alternative dispute resolution in the event this arises.
It is important to understand how government changes can have a bearing on our everyday lives, more specifically the UK housing market. In April 2016 we saw significant changes to stamp duty (SDLT) for investors purchasing secondary homes and we are seeing the impact of this on the market now.
The legal process of transferring property from one owner to another is known as a conveyance. In order to carry out a transaction you will need to enlist the services of a property lawyer or solicitor in order to carry out the due dilligence work on your behalf. This typically involves checking the title, applying for searches, making enquiries and providing you with advice on all property related matters throughout the sale or purchase.
We are able to recommend a choice of excellent property lawyers, so please do ask us for more details.
