TIPS ON RENTING IN HAMMERSMITH
- Let lots of agents know what you are looking
for so you get a really good selection to choose from.
- Inform the agent of your criteria (location, budget,
furnished/unfurnished, occupation date requirement, tenancy period
and any other aspects that are important to you).
- Expect to pay a deposit of at least one months
rent, possibly more. Possibly some administration charges.
- You may be required to provide references.
- Ensure you read and understand the tenancy agreement.
The Citizens Advice Bureau may check this for you. Clarify what
is NOT included in the rental fee, such as council tax, utility
bills, ground maintenance etc.
- Examine the inventory prepared by the agent and
keep a copy.
- Check restrictions: sub-letting, pets etc. Can
you redecorate?
- Notify defects in writing as soon as they become
apparent (even if you do not want them remedied).
- Establish what is covered under maintenance (boilers,
refrigerators, radiators etc.).
- Usually, you will not have to deal with the landlord
directly. Should you have any problems or queries, direct them
to your agent first.
- Other issues to consider are, parking, neighbours,
noise levels, public transport availability etc.

TIPS ON LETTING OUT YOUR PROPERTY IN HAMMERSMITH
Choose a letting agent that is registered with one
of the following:
- The Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA)
- The National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS)
- The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA)
- The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)
- The UK Association of Letting Agents (UKALA)
- Ombudsman for Estate Agents (OEA)
Get a good contract which will be the Tenancy Agreement.
Think about any restrictions you wish to place on the tenant and
the use of your property.
Try not to be too tough - if you exclude smokers,
pets, students, small children and short term lets, you will narrow
the market for your property considerably.
Ask for a rent that is realistic and affordable to
your potential tenants. The big difference in profit at the end
of the year will be dependent upon how long the property stood empty
- reduce the voids!
Examine our 'buyers tips' for guidelines on presenting
the property in an attractive manner.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
Energy Performance Certificates, or EPCs, are set to be available to all new tenants from October 1st 2008.
Outlining the energy efficiency rating and the environmental impact rating of a property, potential landlords will
be able to gain access to both the estimated running costs of a property, the carbon footprint created by the
property and also show any recommendations that could be made to improve the energy efficiency of a property.
The rating offered by the EPC will range from A to G, where A is very efficient and G is very inefficient,
with the typical rating for a home being either D or E. These simple ratings will allow potential tenants to compare homes
of interest to gain an insight into the difference in potential running costs.
EPC Advice for Tenants
- Be sure to check the EPC rating before agreeing to rent a property, a house with a
poor rating could be liable to greater running costs compared to a similar house with a better rating.
- Be aware that landlords are under no obligation to improve the EPC rating of their property.
- Look into the possible grants and schemes offered by the Government to help tenants improve the energy efficiency of their home.
- Make sure that the EPC assessment has been made by an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) - details can be found at www.epcregister.com
- Check how long the EPC has been in effect for, EPCs will be valid for up to 10 years.
For more tenant information on Energy Performance Certificates go to http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/epcsrentingtenants and view the Government released booklet that helps to explain EPCs in even greater detail.

EPC Advice for Landlords
- Commission your EPC now: an EPC will have a shelf life of 10 years so if you have a high turnover of tenants, don’t wait until the current ones are about to leave - commission your EPC now to save time and hassle further down the line
- Use an accredited DEA: ensure you use an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) - details can be found at www.epcregister.com
- Be prepared: before the DEA arrives make sure you have all the information they will require, ready - date of when the property was built, info on whether the property has been extended or double glazed, whether walls have been insulated etc - a full checklist can be found at www.communities.gov.uk/epbd
- Follow the recommendations: take time to review the recommendations in your EPC - if your property has received a relatively poor rating (F or G) then take steps to improve its energy efficiency such as cavity wall insulation
- Get help: There are Government schemes available which will allow landlords to work with tenants to improve the EPC rating of their property.
- Get advice: if you’re not sure on what changes will provide the greatest energy savings contact the Energy Savings Trust who will be able to give you impartial advice - www.energysavingtrust.org.uk
For more information on Energy Performance Certificates go to
http://www.communities.gov.uk/, and view the Government released booklet that helps to explain EPC’s in even greater detail.
