How We Let Your Property: Our Step-by-Step Process

We believe in making the letting process as simple and stress-free as possible. Here is how Imminent Realty takes your Walsall property from vacant to let — efficiently, professionally, and without unnecessary delays.

Step 1: Free Property Valuation Our team visits your property and provides a realistic rental valuation based on current Walsall market data, comparable properties, and your property’s specific features. No inflated figures, no guesswork — just an honest assessment.

Step 2: Property Preparation Advice We advise on any improvements that could boost your rental value or reduce void periods. This might include minor repairs, repainting, or furniture decisions.

Step 3: Professional Marketing We list your property on leading platforms including Rightmove and Zoopla with high-quality photography. Our listings are optimised to attract serious enquiries quickly.

Step 4: Viewings and Tenant Selection We conduct all viewings on your behalf, screen enquiries, and present you with the most suitable candidates. We never rush this step — the right tenant is worth waiting for.

Step 5: Referencing and Right to Rent Checks All prospective tenants undergo thorough referencing including credit history, employment status, previous landlord references, and Right to Rent verification in line with UK legal requirements.

Step 6: Tenancy Agreement and Move-In We prepare a legally compliant Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement, register the deposit, conduct a detailed inventory check-in, and ensure a smooth handover.

Step 7: Ongoing Management (if applicable) For landlords on our management or guaranteed rent packages, we continue to handle all communication, maintenance, inspections, and compliance throughout the tenancy.

Legal Compliance: What Every Walsall Landlord Needs to Know

Letting a property in the UK has never been more regulated, and the legal landscape continues to evolve. Non-compliance can result in significant fines, invalid notices, and in some cases, prosecution. At Imminent Realty, we keep our landlords fully compliant — so you never need to worry about missing a deadline or overlooking a requirement.

Key Legal Requirements for Walsall Landlords

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC): All rental properties must have a valid EPC rated E or above before being let. Properties rated F or G cannot legally be let under current Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).

Gas Safety Certificate: An annual Gas Safety Check must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the certificate provided to tenants before or at the start of each tenancy.

Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR): Landlords must have a satisfactory EICR carried out every five years and provide a copy to tenants and the local authority upon request.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Working smoke alarms must be fitted on each floor. A carbon monoxide alarm is legally required in any room with a solid fuel appliance.

Deposit Protection: All tenancy deposits must be protected in a government-approved scheme (DPS, TDS, or MyDeposits) within 30 days of receipt, and tenants must receive the prescribed information.

Right to Rent Checks: Landlords (or their agents) must verify that all adult tenants have the legal right to rent in England.

How to Rent Guide: Tenants must be provided with the current version of the government’s ‘How to Rent’ guide at the start of each tenancy.

Our team stays up to date with all legislative changes — including the ongoing Renters’ Rights Bill reforms — so your property always remains on the right side of the law.
