Free Tenancy Health Check

Most landlords think that if the rent is coming in and the tenants are not complaining, everything must be fine. But beneath the surface, many tenancies are quietly falling out of compliance and 2025 is set to raise the bar even further.

With over 170 pieces of legislation now governing the private rented sector and more on the way staying compliant isn’t just best practice… it is essential risk management.

That’s why we’re encouraging all  landlords with properties in Eaton, West Earlham, Golden Triangle, Threescore and in around the Norwich City Centre  to schedule a free tenancy health check this month.

What’s Involved?

Our tenancy health check is a simple but powerful review that helps you spot gaps and risks in your current setup. Here’s what we look at:

 Tenancy Agreements – Are They Still Legally Sound?

Many landlords are still using outdated contracts that don’t reflect current law—or the significant changes coming later this year under the Renters’ Rights Bill.

We’ll check whether:

• Your agreement is compliant with current legislation

• The clauses protect your rights (especially with the end of Section 21)

• You’re prepared for the shift to periodic tenancies, which will affect notice periods and renewal processes

 Compliance Documents – Are You Protected?

It’s easy to overlook a missing certificate or document—but these errors can result in penalties, compensation claims, or invalidate eviction notices.

We’ll help ensure you have the full set of legally required documents on file:

• EPC (Energy Performance Certificate)

• Gas Safety Certificate (updated annually)

• EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report – required every 5 years)

• Deposit protection and prescribed information

• How to Rent Guide

• Evidence of smoke/carbon monoxide alarms and right to rent checks

 Property Condition – Will You Meet the New Decent Homes Standard?

The Government is consulting on extending the Decent Homes Standard to the private rented sector for the first time. This means landlords may soon be required to:

• Ensure properties are in a reasonable state of repair

• Maintain modern, reasonably efficient heating systems

• Provide clean, safe, and functional kitchens and bathrooms

• Eliminate serious damp and mould risks

We’ll help you assess whether your property is likely to meet these future standards or whether preventative action is needed to avoid costly upgrades later.

Rental Value & Tenant Fit – Is Your Setup Still Working for You?

Even a good long-term tenancy can stagnate. It’s worth asking:

• Is the rent still at market level—or has it fallen behind?

• Is your tenant profile still aligned with your long-term strategy?

• Could a refurbishment unlock more income or better tenant retention?

• Is it time to update the property, adjust the rent, or restructure the agreement?
