Renting out a property can seem straightforward, but many landlords unknowingly make mistakes that cost them time, money, and peace of mind. At Eve Empire, we help landlords avoid these common pitfalls to ensure a smooth, profitable letting experience. Here are the five biggest mistakes we see — and how we help you steer clear of them.
1. Choosing the Wrong Tenants
Tenant selection is critical. A bad tenant can lead to missed payments, property damage, and legal headaches. Eve Empire uses a rigorous screening process, including background checks, income verification, and reference collection, to ensure you get reliable, respectful tenants.
2. Poor Property Presentation
First impressions matter. A poorly presented property will sit on the market longer and attract the wrong audience. We help stage and professionally photograph your property so it stands out in listings and grabs the right attention.
3. Incorrect Pricing
Pricing your property too high drives away interest; pricing it too low reduces your profits. Eve Empire conducts a detailed market analysis to price your rental competitively, ensuring faster lets without undervaluing your asset.
4. Ignoring Legal Requirements
From EPCs to gas safety certificates and right-to-rent checks, the UK rental market comes with legal obligations. Eve Empire ensures every box is ticked so you stay compliant and avoid penalties.
5. Weak Documentation
Verbal agreements or outdated tenancy contracts can lead to disputes. We provide up-to-date tenancy agreements, clear inventories, and proper documentation to protect you and your property.
