Landlord Advice Helpline 

Yes of course we can! HMO landlords have to deal with a range of additional regulatory requirements and licensing agreements that can make managing their rental properties even more difficult and complex.

If you need help with any aspect of managing your HMO property, or if you are experiencing serious issues with your tenants and need urgent legal advice, TheHouseShop are just a phone call away. One of our advisors will talk through any issues with you and give you expert advice on what steps you can take and the best way forward.

If you need help with HMO licensing, we will need to know the location of your rental property, as licensing rules vary throughout the country.

Evictions are one of the most common issues that we deal with on a day to day basis. Landlords with problem tenants need clear and accurate guidance on how to start eviction proceedings. If you fail to serve the correct eviction notice in the correct manner, you could find that you are unable to successfully regain possession of your property.

We can tell you exactly what you need to do to start the eviction process, which notice you will need to serve, how long the process should take and answer any questions you have about the legal side of the process.

In fact, if you sign up to our Premium Landlord Membership you will be able to access our Eviction Service where you will receive Free expert legal advice throughout the process and have the correct eviction notice drafted and served for you by our specialist lawyers

Non-payment of rent and rent arrears are an increasingly common issue for landlords. If your tenants have stopped paying rent, there are a number of different routes you can take to try and recover the funds and evict the tenants.

Our qualified legal experts will talk through the exact circumstances of the tenancy with you to ensure they give you the best possible advice for your current position. We can then advise you on rent collection, debt recovery, evictions and legal proceedings to help you minimise your losses and recover some or all of the funds if at all possible.

Many landlords who let their properties to tenants using housing benefit have experienced issues with the switch to Universal Credit. Our advisors can give you expert advice on how the housing benefit system works, what your options are, who you need to contact and what next steps you need to take.

Simply give us a call and a member of our landlord advice team will be happy to help.
