Legal & compliance

UK letting agent obligations

Letting and managing agents in England must belong to a government-approved redress scheme, hold Client Money Protection, and display their fees. The management agreement should record who is responsible for statutory compliance including gas safety, electrical inspection, EPC and deposit protection.

Signatures captured on SigningVault are Simple Electronic Signatures under the Electronic Communications Act 2000 and the UK eIDAS Regulation. Every signature is stored with the signer's name, email, IP address and a UTC timestamp in a tamper-evident audit trail, so the agreement stands up if it is ever challenged.

  • Legally binding in England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
  • Tamper-evident audit trail with IP address and UTC timestamp
  • Signed PDF and certificate of completion for both parties
  • Fully editable — change any clause before you send it

FAQ

Common questions

What does full management usually include?+

Marketing, referencing, tenancy set-up, deposit protection, rent collection, repairs coordination, inspections and renewals. The template lets you tick what applies.

What is Client Money Protection?+

A mandatory scheme in England for agents holding client money, ensuring landlords and tenants are reimbursed if the agent misuses funds. The agreement records the agent's membership.

Who arranges gas and electrical safety checks?+

The landlord is legally responsible, but the agent commonly arranges them. The compliance clause records exactly who does what.

Can commission continue after termination?+

Some agents charge renewal commission while the introduced tenant remains. The template makes any such term explicit and time-limited.
