Keeping Up To Date With Regulations
The world of private tenancies is constantly evolving, with new regulations introduced to ensure fairness and protection for both landlords and tenants. The Private Tenancies Act (Northern Ireland) 2022 is a recent example, and staying informed about its implications is crucial for landlords.

At Alexander Reid & Frazer, we understand that navigating these changes can be complex, which is where our expertise comes into play. As members of ARLA (Association of Letting Agents), the leading professional body for letting agents in the UK, our membership demonstrates our commitment to the highest standards of practice and ongoing industry knowledge. For landlords this means that we can act as your trusted advisors to ensure you are ready when it comes to changes such as notice periods, tenants' rights, and rent increases.

By partnering with Alexander Reid & Frazer, you can navigate the ever-changing landscape of private tenancies with confidence. Our lettings team will keep you informed about the latest regulations and ensure your rental practices remain compliant, protecting you from potential legal issues and encouraging a positive relationship with your tenants.

Finding Your Ideal Tenant

We'll take the stress out of finding the right tenant for your property. Alexander Reid & Frazer�s comprehensive marketing strategies showcase your property to a wide audience of potential renters.

We conduct thorough reference checks, including previous tenancy history and employment verification, to ensure financial stability and responsible living habits. We'll also guide you through the legal aspects of tenancy agreements, ensuring everything is clear, concise, and adheres to current regulations. This meticulous approach minimises the risk of late payments or property damage, giving you peace of mind.

Understanding Your Responsibilities

As a landlord, you have a legal obligation to provide a safe and habitable property for your tenants. This includes ensuring essential repairs are addressed promptly. Maintaining up-to-date gas and electrical safety certificates is crucial, guaranteeing the safety of your tenants and the property itself. The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of your property. We can advise you on these regulations and connect you with qualified professionals if needed, ensuring your property meets the necessary standards.

Rent Collection & Management

Managing a rental property can be time-consuming. We offer a range of services to streamline rent collection and property management, freeing you up to focus on other priorities. This can include sending monthly statements to tenants, handling deposits securely, and overseeing any maintenance concerns that may arise. Our team will work diligently to ensure rent is collected on time and any maintenance issues are addressed promptly and efficiently, minimising disruption for your tenants. For added peace of mind, we offer rent guarantee services. This protects you from any loss of rental income in the event of a tenant defaulting on their rent payments. Let us take the worry out of rent collection and ensure a steady stream of income from your investment property.
