Fixed-fee audit · UK landlords

Would your tenancies survive a council inspection?

The Renters' Rights Act rewrote the rules for private landlords, and the penalties are no longer trivial. We audit your tenancy documents against the current requirements and hand you a RAG-rated report: what is compliant, what needs action, what is urgent, and exactly what each gap could cost you.

The Stakes

What does non-compliance actually cost?

These are the current exposure levels for common failures. Most landlords we speak to are non-compliant somewhere without knowing it, usually on paperwork they believe is fine.

£7,000
Civil penalty for a first breach of many Renters' Rights Act duties, including the required tenant information sheet.
£40,000
Exposure where a breach continues after a penalty has already been imposed.
£30,000
Per breach for electrical safety (EICR) failures. Licensing offences can also carry unlimited fines.
2 years' rent
Maximum rent repayment order for certain offences, on top of any penalty. Councils can also demand documents under investigatory powers.
The Audit

What does the audit check?

A document-based review of each tenancy against the full checklist, with every requirement traced to its legal source.

  • Tenancy terms: whether your agreement is valid under the new tenancy regime and free of unenforceable terms.
  • Required information: the tenant information sheet and prescribed documents, served correctly and on time.
  • Deposit protection: scheme registration, prescribed information, and timing.
  • Gas and electrical safety: current gas safety record and EICR, correctly served.
  • Licensing: whether the property needs a selective, additional or HMO licence, and whether it has one.
  • Advertising and letting practice: the bidding ban, discrimination rules and stated-rent requirements for new lets.
  • Forward obligations: what is coming next under the Act's rollout, such as database registration and ombudsman membership, so nothing catches you late.
What you get: a branded report per property with a RAG rating on every check (compliant, action needed, urgent), the specific penalty exposure attached to each finding, your combined exposure figure, and an action list ordered by urgency. Findings are cited to GOV.UK and legislation.gov.uk, not asserted.

FAQ

Questions landlords ask us

What is a Landlord Compliance Audit?

A structured review of your tenancy documents against the Renters' Rights Act and core lettings law. Every check gets a RAG rating, every gap gets its penalty exposure, and the report ends with an action list ordered by urgency. It tells you where you stand before a council or a tenant's solicitor tells you instead.

What do you need from me?

Copies of your tenancy agreement, deposit certificate, gas safety record, EICR and any licensing correspondence, plus a few details on how the property was advertised. Most landlords gather this in under an hour, and the report follows within five working days.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is a compliance review against published requirements, with every finding cited to its source. It tells you what to fix and flags where a solicitor is the right next step. For a live dispute or possession claim, you need legal advice.

The rules keep changing. How current is the audit?

The Renters' Rights Act is rolling out in stages, and we re-verify the requirements and penalty levels against GOV.UK and legislation.gov.uk before every engagement. The report states the position at the date it is issued, including what is coming next so you are not caught by the following phase.

I use a letting agent. Do I still need this?

The legal duties, and the penalties, sit with you as the landlord even when an agent manages the property. An independent audit is also a clean way to check your agent is doing what you pay them for.
