General Information
  • Q. Can you recommend a local Conveyancer?

    On our Help Moving page, we have details for local conveyancers as well as details for other companies you might need to contact before, during or after you sell or rent your home. 

  • Q. Where can I get a tenancy agreement so I can let my flat privately?

    The tenancy agreement is a legally binding document clearly defining the obligations and responsibilities between the Landlord and the Tenant. An assured shorthold tenancy offers the landlord a guaranteed right to repossess his property at the end of the term.  In fact, it does not necessarily have to be ´short´; assured shorthold tenancies set up after 28 February 1997 can be for any length of time the landlord wishes to offer. 

    There are several web sites selling Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements but we would recommend using the Residential Landlords Association agreeement as it has the following benefits:

    • Tenancy Deposit Scheme Ready – The RLA tenancy agreement has been updated to include information related to the handling of deposits and remains legally valid after 6th April 2007. 
    • Proven Protection - The RLA tenancy agreement is in widespread daily use and is widely acknowledged in the industry. It has protected landlords for many years.
    • Constantly Developed - As soon as Housing Law is changed, our tenancy agreement is updated by the RLA. Use in confidence that you will not fall foul of legislation.
    • Free telephone support - On any aspect of the Tenancy is available to RLA members.
    • Completion Instructions - are available along with explanatory notes to assist you in completing the tenancy agreement
    • The RLA Tenancy agreement - has been produced for Landlords by Landlords to protect Landlords.
    • You can now complete the RLA Tenancy Agreement on-screen meaning you no longer have to hand-write the agreement out.

  • Q. My board has been removed how can I get a replacement?

  • Q. How long will the site be free?

    The site will be free for an indefinitate period. We will notify all registered users before we intend to charge a fee.

  • Q. When my property is let can I save the details so that I don´t have to re-enter them when it becomes available again?

    Yes, your property can be still available on our website and you do´t need to enter the details again.

    You Have 2 options, first in your account area under property details you can set the property as "LET" the property would be still visible within search results but the status would be shown as LET.

    Second option is to set your property as hidden. Property would be not visible within the search results for other users but you can access property details from you account area.

  • Q. My tenants are not paying the rent – What can I do?

    You should wait until the tenant owes 2 months or 8 weeks rent, as the Judge is then obliged to make a possession order. You will need to serve a Section 8 Housing Act 1988 notice citing a breach on Ground 8, 10 and 11. Then lodge County Court forms N5 and N119 at the Court following the same procedure as above. A hearing takes place about 6-8 weeks later which the landlord must attend. If the tenant still owes 2 months rent at the date of the Court hearing, the Judge must make an outright possession order.

  • Q. How can it be free to advertise. What´s the catch?

    There is no catch. We are currently running a promotion so that all advertising on the View London Property website is free for both estate agents and private customers. We don´t ask for any payment details from you when you register with us i.e. debit / cedit cards.
