Why it matters
Most problems with a tenancy start on move-in day. A deposit registered a few days late, a check missed or a document not served can cost you a penalty, and can stop you getting the property back later. The rules changed again on 1 May 2026, and most landlords don't know what they don't know. You agree the tenant and the move-in date. We do everything else, and a person checks every step.

Common questions
Why not just use an online template?
You can, but nobody checks it. One mistake, like a deposit registered late or a missing document, often only comes to light when you need the property back. We check every step before the tenant moves in.
What is a written statement of terms?
Since 1 May 2026, landlords in England must give new tenants a written statement setting out the key terms of the tenancy. We prepare it and serve it for you.
When does the deposit need to be protected?
Within 30 days of receiving it, with the prescribed information given to the tenant in the same period. We do both.
What happens after move-in?
You can manage the tenancy yourself, or join Compliance Watch, where we keep your certificates up to date and review the rent with you each year for a monthly fee.
Do I need to use Rentals and Sales as my letting agent?
No. These are standalone, fixed-fee services for self-managing landlords. You keep managing your property and we do the one job you have paid for.
Which properties do you cover?
Residential lets in England. We are based in Wimbledon and most of our work is in south-west London, but paperwork-based services can be delivered for properties elsewhere in England.
