Anyone rented their place out recently? Advice please

Being a private landlord is now a legal minefield. It may be worthwhile using professionals (you'll pay for their expertise mind) to see you through this, at least for your first tenants. How keen are you on hands-on management (arranging repairs etc.)? - if you are local and know tradesmen, good, otherwise maybe delegate.

We use Daisylets to do the marketing finding tenants references inventory etc and signing up. Then we manage it ourselves during the tenancy. Very satisfied with Daisylets and the tenants were happy as well.

I used OpenRent and had no issues... you can do everything through them..... background checks and contract, inventory if letting furnished and register the deposit.


I?m not sure the fees agents are charging these days really match up to the service you get from them, when there are alternatives online...

I second OpenRent - put my property on using their site -?49 all in - including all the credit checks etc..


The property was posted on Zoopla, Rightmove, Gumtree - had 17 queries all managed on the website, including setting up the times to view property..


Also put a board up.


Let my property in less than a week and all for ?49 !!

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
