property InsiderLAndLord v TenAnT: Avoiding And resoLving disPuTes

demand in the lettings market continues to be strong, with a lack of quality supply in much of the UK resulting in

around five tenants chasing each available property. According to recent research by Countrywide, 15% of properties now spark a bidding war and achieve more than their asking price.

This demand does not mean that landlords should be complacent, however. Finding quality tenants and keeping them happy is a vital part of avoiding costly void periods. Data released last week by Property Let By Us suggests that tenants are becoming more demanding about the standard of their homes, and the government is continuing its push to adequately punish rogue landlords.

Finding and keeping the ideal tenant can be tricky, and even if you have carefully vetted your new tenants before signing a contract, there is still a chance that the tenancy may end in a dispute. With an appropriate contract in place and good communication between both parties, most disputes can be solved relatively easily, and only a small minority of cases end with the intervention of the Deposit Protection Scheme or small claims court.

do your bitIn addition to obtaining employment and landlord references and credit checking

your new tenants, make sure you have completed all of your legal obligations before letting the property, including obtaining a gas safety certificate and taking out landlord insurance. Also ensure that you are clear and concise when formulating the contract, avoiding common disputes such as who is responsible for dealing with mould and maintaining the upkeep of the garden.

talk it throughThe most common problems between landlords and tenants surround the big three – deposits, rent and repairs. In addition to ensuring that you are covered in instances of rent going missing or the property being damaged, sit down with your new tenant and discuss each other’s responsibilities. Forging a positive relationship and making yourself

approachable increases your chances of avoiding disputes. Most landlords are okay on this front, with a recent survey revealing only 12% of tenants would like their landlords to be more approachable and friendly.

deposit protectionYou must place the deposits of your tenants in a Deposit Protection Scheme. These government-backed schemes ensure you will receive

appropriate remuneration should your tenant fail to pay rent or damage your property. This service also acts on behalf of the tenant, ensuring they will receive a reasonable amount of their deposit back if they behave in line with the terms of their contract. In the event of a dispute at the end of the tenancy, the scheme holds the deposit and offers a free dispute resolution service until terms are agreed between the landlord and tenant. Both sides can provide evidence to support their case and an independent decision is reached.

evictionIf there is no way back and evicting your tenant is the only solution, there are strict procedures you must follow to avoid illegal eviction. The gov.uk website provides a detailed guide to this process.

PAPER FROM

whathouse.com

R7134 Cover.indd 2 22/09/2014 14:04

Welcome…to the third edition of Whathouse? local.

there haven’t been many headlines over the past couple of weeks that were not associated with the Scottish referendum,

but there was a fair bit of coverage on the new house price figures from the Office of National Statistics.

The July numbers showed a 7.3% annual rise in house prices in the West Midlands, quite a way short of the 11.7% national increase, which is admittedly severely skewed by huge price surges in and around London. The adjusted average price for the West Midlands is now £198,000, up £4,000 from

June and a whopping £14,000 from just a year previously.

Interestingly, across the nation, the average price paid by first-time buyers increased by 13.5% year-on-year to £209,000, demonstrating more than ever that assistance schemes such as Help to Buy and Shared Ownership are invaluable to first-timers struggling to make their savings keep up with ever-higher deposit requirements.

Separately, estate agency group Countrywide reported that average rents in the Midlands went up £4 between July and August this year, from £662 to £666. Year-on-year, average rents in this region actually went down 0.6%. On a national level, the group reported five tenants chasing each rental property, up around 25% from just a year ago.

Remember you can find daily news and features about the property market at www.whathouse.com. You can of course catch up with us on Facebook and Twitter (@What_House), too.

We hope you find this and every issue of WhatHouse? Local a useful tool in your property search.

Happy house-hunting!

Why Rent When You Can Buy?

The Help to Buy scheme makes it possible to buy a brand new home with as little as a 5% deposit.

With a Help to Buy equity loan the Government lends you up to 20% of the cost of your new-build home, so you’ll only need a 5% cash deposit and a 75% mortgage.

You won’t be charged interest on the 20% loan for the first five years of owning your home.

the government-backed Help to Buy scheme is credited as one of the factors for the level of interest in the Wards Bridge Gardens development of two-, three- and four-bedroom properties in Wednesfield, West Midlands.

Many of the people buying there have been taking advantage of the assistance scheme, which enables house-hunters to secure their home with a deposit as low as 5%. There are two options under Help to Buy: a 95% mortgage or, alternatively, a shared equity arrangement that provides a 20% equity loan, leaving the buyer to find a 75% mortgage. In the latter case, the equity loan is interest-free for five years.

Help to Buy is available on new-build properties up to the value of £600,000 and there is no salary cap for homebuyers using the scheme, though since it was launched in April 2013 it has mainly been used by buyers at the bottom of the market taking their first step on the property ladder in a modestly priced home.

At Wards Bridge Gardens, prices start at £154,500 for the three-bedroom �Dadford� semi-detached house with an open-plan lounge/dining room, a separate fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms (one with fitted wardrobes), a single bedroom and a family bathroom.

House-hunters with a larger budget will find the three-bedroom ‘Easdale� a more spacious option at £190,500. This is a detached house with a large lounge opening out onto the garden through French doors, a kitchen/dining room, guest cloakroom, en suite master bedroom, two further bedrooms and a

family bathroom. This house type also has driveway parking for two cars.

All new homes at Wards Bridge Gardens come with a high standard specification that includes energy-efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.

Transport links from Wards Bridge Gardens are

excellent. The M6 and M54 are both within easy reach and there are regular services from nearby Wolverhampton railway station to Birmingham New Street.

The local area’s amenities include several supermarkets, a cinema and bowling alley, with Wolverhampton city centre just two miles away and Birmingham just 17 miles away. Edward the Elder and St Thomas’ Primary Schools are both rated ‘good’ in their latest Ofsted inspections.

Carl Cooke, regional sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “We’ve had an amazing response to Wards Bridge Gardens, with many buyers using the fantastic Help to Buy scheme to secure their

dream home in this wonderful location. With demand showing no sign of slowing, I would encourage prospective purchasers to get in touch right away to make sure they don’t miss out!”

The Sales Centre at Wards Bridge Gardens is open Thursday to Monday, from 11.00am to 5.00pm. contact www.taylorwimpey.co.uk ; 01902 271481
