Here is the link to the legislation https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/electrical-safety-standards-in-the-private-rented-sector-guidance-for-landlords-tenants-and-local-authorities/guide-for-landlords-electrical-safety-standards-in-the-private-rented-sector

One of our recent managed landlords commented "it’s become a real pain to manage it ourselves. Plus, I don’t think I’m doing all the right things, which worries me".

Financial penalties Local authorities may impose a financial penalty of up to £30,000 on landlords who are in breach of their duties.

Anthony Kempster, our founder and local property expert comments “What with everything else going on in the private sector rental market, Covid 19  and Brexit looming its easy to forget your ongoing compliance with legislation  – which could cost you dearly and cause significant difficulties regaining possession of your property”

“If you are feeling overwhelmed then now is the time to consider having your property managed by professionals ……. you may be pleasantly surprised how stress free and cost effective this decision could turn out to be”

An unexpected swim in the river leam!

Pippa at the team meeting Woof Woof

So, Pippa recounts the story….

Woof, Woof, I was out with my human enjoying a morning ‘lockdown’ walk  – socially distanced from other dogs.. obviously! 

It was lovely and sunny and I knew there was a river somewhere…and went looking …and found it through the bushes… 

I jumped in as you do.. and paddled around then… Oh no.. can’t get out! I paddled and paddled looking for a place to get out and was getting panicky..

Then my human saw me… 

My human called me over and tried to grab me but guess what.. it was so slippy and he fell in as well…

Oh dear.. my human won’t be happy… it is really deep!

Anyway, my human waded over to me, grabbed my harness and hauled me out for a shakedown.. all ok.. nice swim!

Then my human scambled out… very wet… and realised he had his mobile phone in pocket… it looked poorly….

Anyway, all’s well that ends well…. my human got new mobile phone on order… think I am in the doghouse!

Woof Woof
