Are you a tenant? - Considering a tenancy?

From October 1st 2008, Commercial EPCs become mandatory for all newly constructed, sale or rented commercial buildings. 

What do you need to do? contact our HIPs team at Whitchurch.  Remember also that landlords renting domestic properties will also need a Domestic EPC and it is the landlord’s responsibility to provide it.  We also offer a HIPs service,  and all for under £300 ! contact David Ryder at 01948 663361 or david.ryder@henrylees.co.uk

Then did you know there are statutory rights protecting tenants. For example there are tenant's protection deposit schemes in force. Since April 2007 all tenants under assured shorthold tenancies are protected with regard to the deposits they pay to their landlords. Please refer to
