Common Questions Landlords Ask Us
How often should a landlord replace carpets uk-wide? The legal answer is "as often as fair wear and tear requires" — there's no hard rule. In practice, rental carpet has a lifespan of 5-10 years. Letting agents generally expect carpets replaced every 7-8 years; a heavy-use HMO might need new carpets every 4-5. Our blog posts on this topic break down the legal, financial and inspection angles for UK landlords.
Our most-read compliance guides cover landlord gas safety certificates (CP12), EICRs, Awaab's Law, and HHSRS damp assessments. Every guide is plain-English with a clear "what you must do" checklist at the end. Bookmark them — most landlords reference them at every tenancy turnover.
Pricing guides on end of tenancy cleaning, house clearance, painting and decorating, and full void turnarounds — all UK-focused, all updated each year. We use real data from our Lincoln and Lincolnshire jobs to ground the figures, with regional variation noted for England and Wales.
