Tenant screening and referencing

Reduce arrears and tenant-fit risk with a consistent referencing pack before a tenancy is signed. You keep the final sign-off, we run agreed checks to a clear recommendation. Strong fit for new lets, renewals with new terms, and higher-exposure properties.

• Identity and right-to-rent checks, consent and data handling
• Credit, affordability, employment, and previous landlord follow-up
• Guarantor route where the risk profile needs it; written summary for your file
  Typical next step: agree your acceptance rules (lawful) and a target start date, then we open the file.

Legal compliance and licensing support

Keep licensing, gas safety, EICRs, EPCs, and deposit and prescribed information steps in a dated, repeat-friendly workflow. This is operational and practical guidance, not a substitute for a solicitor where a matter is contentious, criminal, or court-bound.

• Compliance calendar thinking: what is due, and what to store when
• Support for HMO, selective, and other licensing tracks as they apply to your address
• Deposit and prescribed information process support, not a substitute for a deposit dispute strategy

Tenancy agreements and renewals

Clear, issued agreements and disciplined renewals with version control and a paper trail. Right for self-managers who want help with execution, not a replacement for a solicitor on unusual or high-risk terms.

• Agreement issue, clause clarity pass, and renewal timing
• Coordinated tenant/landlord messaging and signature flow
• Not a guarantee of “court-proof” wording, complex cases to a lawyer as required

Eviction support (process, not legal representation)

Cons Property is not a law firm. We help you organise routes, notice hygiene, and evidence so a solicitor, if you need one, works from a cleaner brief. We do not represent you in court or promise possession dates, bailiffs, or a particular outcome.

• Route awareness and what to have on file for your chosen path
• Referral language when a matter is clearly for regulated legal help
• If you are mid-crisis, we start with a confidential review of what you already hold and what to collect next.

Property investment guidance

Stress tests a purchase, refinance, or re-let against voids, compliance load, and management time. Not regulated financial, mortgage, or tax advice, use an authorised professional where the law requires it.

• BTL and HMO, yield and running-cost scenarios
• HMO and licensing operational drag before you offer on a new room count
• Optional portfolio pass for rebalancing a growing book

HMO specialists

HMOs need licensing, room and amenity standards, safety touchpoints, and higher coordination load on inspections and voids. We help you line up the operating model to what your council and layout demand, in addition to the compliance and maintenance lines above.

• Application and renewal support aligned to the scheme that covers your address
• Room-level tenancies, communal routines, and inspection to maintenance handover
• No guarantee a licence is granted councils decide against published rules and your file
