There are a few legal obligations with regards to the following:

  • Gas appliances
  • Electrical equipment
  • Energy information
  • Furnishings and furniture
  • Repairs
  • The property’s general condition

The property must be safe and well-maintained. For more information on any of the above see the Government website or contact our free landlord’s advice line.

As well as this, you might wish to make cosmetic alterations for commercial purposes. Upgrading the property is likely to increase the amount of rent you’re able to charge. You might also wish to modify things to meet the requirements of your target tenant demographic.
