Training Programme

All remote assistants become certified under the following NRLA accredited courses:

Landlords Fundamentals

Identify your legal obligations as a landlord throughout the entire lettings process

Gain confidence in knowing what is required to comply with the various obligations you have

Raise awareness of the consistent steps you will need to take as you move into each stage of the tenancy lifecycle

If you are renting out a residential property, it is essential to understand the key legal issues involved. Landlords must comply with numerous legal requirements, and failing to do so can result in significant fines or even criminal charges. This course is designed to guide you through the entire rental process from the beginning to the end of a tenancy. It covers all aspects of tenancy and property management, including creating a tenancy agreement, handling rent arrears, and ensuring property safety. The course will provide landlords with the necessary information about their responsibilities and obligations, outlining the fundamental aspects of managing both the property and tenant relations.

Pre-tenancy and liabilities for EPCs, tax and insurance

Responsibilities of a landlord surrounding tenancy agreements, fees ban, gas safety, HMOs and licensing

Property standards including HHSRS, repairs, dampness and risk assessments

Setting up different types of tenancy agreements, deposits and rent setting

Obligations during the tenancy including periodic visits, tenant obligations, and anti-social behaviour

Ending a tenancy with the relevant notices, what to do if the tenant wants to leave, possession and eviction

HMO Fundamentals

Demonstrate an understanding of the various legislation associated with HMO properties

Have an awareness of the compliance requirements for managing a HMO

Outline the additional processes HMO landlords are required to follow at each stage of a tenancy

Understand the health and safety demands of a HMO and how to ensure the property has adequate standards

A house in multiple occupation (HMO) is a property with several tenants who are not part of the same family or household. Investing in HMO properties can yield high returns, but the management requirements for landlords and property managers are much stricter. The introduction of civil penalties and Rent Repayment Orders has significantly increased the financial consequences for landlords and managers who fail to meet their obligations. It is crucial for both landlords and managers to be fully aware of their legal responsibilities.

This course is tailored for landlords, managers, and letting/managing agents. It covers the fundamental principles of this complex and traditional subject, providing a comprehensive understanding needed to confidently invest in or manage HMO properties. Additionally, the course offers an overview of setting up tenancies for HMOs, detailing the entire process from completing necessary checks to gaining possession of the property.

Agent Fundamentals

Understand the legislation governing the industry 

Learn practical tips on relationship management and other industry best practice

An overview of the entire lettings process and the regulations that must be followed 

Awareness of agent obligations to both landlord and tenant

As landlords have increasing regulations to follow the Letting Agent is required to be fully knowledgeable on all areas of relevant law. This course will help you avoid unnecessary legal action and minimise problems from arising. Ideal for Letting Agents new to the sector along with those with more experience, it serves as both an introduction to the Private Rented Sector and a refresher. We will guide you through the key processes involved when creating and setting up a tenancy right through to managing and ending tenancies and clarify the legal requirements of an agent.

GET TO KNOW

About Us

Stephen Riley and Bruce Marshall began their business journey in 2008, spending over 15 years running a successful estate agency in London. During this time, they sold, let and managed thousands of properties all while hiring and training a diverse range of staff.

GET TO KNOW

About Us

In 2016, the duo turned their focus to building their own property portfolio, concentrating on buy-to-lets, HMOs, and serviced accommodation units. By 2022, they made the strategic decision to sell their estate agency in order to concentrate on growing their portfolio and to launch a new venture dedicated to supporting fellow property professionals.

The sale of the estate agency sparked a transformative approach to their work. Embracing a remote setup with location independence in mind, they began collaborating with remote assistants to develop robust systems and precise standard operating procedures to manage their property portfolio. This innovative approach has enabled their remote team to successfully & completely manage over 80 units for the past two years and counting.
