EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION

LANDLORD MARKET INSIGHTS EXPLAINED

At JeffreyRoss we believe in getting the important things right which is why we look at property value very differently to our competitors. We have put together our market insight for landlords across Cardiff and the key areas that we cover to enable you to get a full understanding of what is happening with the rental market in your area.

Our market insights will help you to make informed decisions on your next property transaction, whether that be buying, selling, renting or letting.

We have teamed up with the industry leader Dataloft Inform to provide these insights. Dataloft compile comprehensive data sets based on property transactions, size, type as well as comparisons that date back to the early 90s!

Dataloft use resources from the ONS and Land Registry to compile this data, updated every 4 weeks allowing us to have our fingers on the pulse when it comes to property transactions in all of the areas we cover.

Elliott Hooper-Nash

Most importantly, it empowers us to not only justify the values we set, but to help clients understand where the valuations come from and how the market is reacting.

These landlord insights will be released every 6 months and will focus mainly on the lettings market in Cardiff and surrounding areas along with featured properties and expert commentary from various fields like conveyancing, construction, finance, project management etc.

We hope you find this information both insightful and useful when considering your next move.

AREAS WE COVER

WE KNOW CARDIFF & THE VALE

Pontcanna / Canton

Pontcanna has long been recognised as one of the most popular and expensive areas to live in South Wales, despite still not being recognised by Cardiff Council as an official area. CF11 9 is the postcode that covers the entire territory and the postcode data we base our findings on.

The Canton postcode has seen increasing popularity through lockdown and post-covid thanks to the size of the gardens in the area. The area covers everything from Llandaff Road, Cowbridge Road West, Aldsworth Road and joins back along one side of Pencisely Road back to the top of Llandaff Road.

Postcode areas:

CF11 8, CF11 9, CF5 1

Cardiff City Centre features a mix of apartments of all shapes and sizes with a varying price difference. The City Centre values have seen a marked improvement in the last 12 months which is thankful to both Central Quay and Central Square developments, as well as the electrification of the train line meaning shorter travel times to Bristol and London.

TENANCIES AND LICENCES CHANGES

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR PRIVATE LANDLORDS

On 01/12/2022, the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 ("the Act"), came into force. The Act can be difficult to understand and interpret, especially in relation to the form of a tenancy agreement, the duties of landlords and transition into the new occupation contracts.

Now is the time to become compliant with the Act or secure possession of your property, if you consider the new obligations imposed on you to be too onerous.

LG Williams and Prichard specialise in landlord and tenant matters, both contentious and noncontentious. To assist with becoming compliant, we can provide advice and guidance in relation to the Act and your duties.

We will also shortly be offering template and bespoke occupation contracts as well as written statements for converted contracts. Alternatively, if in addition to finding compliance onerous, you are concerned with the associated cost, we have considerable experience of possession proceedings and can help you secure an order.

To help you consider whether you wish to remain as a landlord, or secure possession of your property, below are six questions we are frequently asked (with answers).

PRIVATE LANDLORD FAQs

1. DO ASSURED SHORTHOLD TENANCY AGREEMENTS STILL EXIST?

In simple terms, no. Assured shorthold tenancy agreements can no longer be entered into (in Wales). If you wish to let your property, you must now enter into an occupation contract. If you had a tenancy agreement in place immediately prior to 01/12/2022, it converted to an occupation contract on 01/12/2022.

Michael Spees

2. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AN ASSURED SHORTHOLD TENANCY AGREEMENT AND AN OCCUPATION CONTRACT?

For most, an occupation contract will not differ greatly from a standard assured shorthold tenancy agreement. The main terms that will remain are; the names of the parties and the property (“Key Matters”), details of possession and landlord obligations (“Fundamental Terms”), details of day to day matters (“Supplementary Terms”) and details of specific noncommon terms (“Additional Terms”).

3. DOES A CONVERTED CONTRACT REQUIRE A FRESH AGREEMENT WITH AN OCCUPANT (“CONTRACT HOLDER”)?

No, however, a landlord must provide a contract holder with a written statement of the converted contract no later than 31/05/2023.

4. HOW MUCH NOTICE MUST NOW BE PROVIDED TO A TENANT IN AN EVICTION NOTICE?

For new occupation contracts, a non-fault eviction notice cannot be issued within the first 6 months of the occupation.

Any notice issued cannot provide less than 6 months for the contract holder to remain i.e. with a non-fault eviction, a notice to terminate cannot take effect for at least 12 months.

If the contract was converted, a non-fault eviction notice can be issued at any time up until 31/05/2023, but cannot provide less than 2 months for the contract holder to remain.

In either case, if the contract holder does not leave upon expiration of the notice, it can be some weeks before possession is secured through the Court.

5. WHAT SANCTIONS ARE THERE FOR NOT COMPLYING WITH THE ACT?

There are various sanctions for a landlord, some are similar to those imposed by the Housing Act 1988. For example, if a landlord fails to provide a written statement to the contract holder, the landlord is liable to pay compensation (s.35 of the Act), which is similar to the Housing Act 1988 and, if a landlord fails to comply with their obligations for an authorised deposit scheme, they cannot issue a non-fault eviction notice.

6. IS MY PROPERTY FIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION (“FFHH”)?

This depends on the specific condition of your property, however, whilst the Act does not properly define what amounts to FFHH, we consider that a property would be, where a landlord has complied with all of their duties imposed by legislation and a reasonable person would consider the property to be in a good state of repair.

ON AVERAGE WE SAVE CLIENTS 30+% ANNUALLY WITH RTM SWITCH.

WHAT IS RIGHT TO MANAGE (RTM)?

A GUIDE TO RIGHT TO MANAGE WITH SEEL & CO

Right to Manage (RTM) was introduced through the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, giving leaseholders the statutory right to take control over the management of their property from a landlord. If at least 50% of leaseholders in a block wish, they can exert this statutory right by setting up a special company - a Right to Manage company.

BENEFITS OF RIGHT TO MANAGE (RTM)

Seel & Co has helped thousands of leaseholders to acquire RTM and all have benefitted from:

Greater control - with RTM there is no landlord making decisions on the behalf of leaseholders about how a property is managed.

Reduction in Service Charge costs - because of this control, leaseholders are able to choose which contractors to use and what specifications of works and services should be.

For Seel & Co clients, this results in an average annual saving of 30+% (see table below).

WHAT’S THE PROCESS TO ACQUIRE RTM?

With the help from Seel & Co, RTM is a simple, stress free process. Each of the flats wishing to acquire RTM completes an application form from Seel & Co which simply asks for a name, address and signature. One or more flat owners will also need to agree to become Directors of the RTM company and further information will be required by those individuals.

Once the application form is completed, Seel & Co will start the following process:

Karl Reid

1. Due Diligence - Seel & Co will ensure the application is valid and will highlight any perceived risks.

2. Create RTM Company - It is the RTM company that actually acquires the RTM on your behalf (not Seel & Co). Some leaseholders will need to be Directors.

3. Issue Invites & Notices - Invite non participating flat owners to join. Issue claim notice to landlord, advising of the intention of the leaseholders to acquire RTM.

4. Address Any Disputes - Address any counter claim notice by the landlord (typically, these are rarely upheld). Go to tribunal for judgement if needed.

5. Confirm Acquisition - Confirm date when RTM company will take control. Landlord terminates existing maintenance contracts.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER RTM?

All leaseholders who participated in the RTM will be members of the RTM company: those who didn’t participate can become members at any point. The Directors will make decisions on behalf of all the leaseholders want to manage the block themselves or engage a managing agent. As a managing agent, Seel & Co has put control and transparency at the heart of its services and has created flexible packages based on how much involvement leaseholders wish to have.

Whether using a managing agent such as Seel & Co or not, the leaseholders will control how the block is managed and what works are undertaken, hence ensuring leaseholders start to see the savings in annual service charges.

SEEL & CO SURVEYS

CHARTERED SURVEYORS TRUSTED BY RICS

Property is one of your most valuable assets, so it is essential that you understand what you’re buying and what it’s worth. Seel & Co can advise on and conduct a wide range of RICS-backed valuations and surveys to ensure you have the best information available about your property.

WHY DO YOU NEED AN RICS HOME SURVEY?

Because forewarned is forearmed. Choosing the right survey will help highlight any serious problems and advise you of the specific risks before you commit to the process of buying or selling a property.

RICS has three different levels of survey (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3). These can only be conducted by RICS qualified surveyors.

• RICS Home Survey Level 1 - Choose this report if you're buying or selling a conventional house, flat or bungalow, built from common building materials and in reasonable condition.

• RICS Home Survey Level 2 (survey only)Choose this report if you need more extensive information whilst buying or selling a conventional house, flat or bungalow, built from common building materials and in reasonable condition.

• RICS Home Survey Level 2 (survey and valuation) - As the RICS Home Survey Level 2 above but also includes the surveyor's professional opinion of the market value, an insurance reinstatement figure and a list of problems that the surveyor considers that may affect the property value.

• RICS Home Survey Level 3 - Choose this report if dealing with a large, older or run-down property, a building that is unusual or altered, or if you're planning major works.

Reliable and cost effective, these reports carry the full weight of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors - the industry’s most respected authority on surveying.

BUYING A HOME

It’s important to remember that your mortgage lender’s valuation report is not a survey. It merely tells your lender whether or not the property is reasonable security for your loan.

RICS surveys will tell you the actual condition of the property. That’s vital information that can be invaluable during price negotiations, and will also help you avoid expensive surprises after you’ve moved in.

SELLING YOUR HOME

RICS surveys can be an aid to selling your home. They will show you any problems that may delay your sale or cause price reductions later in the process.

STAYING AT HOME

A survey of the current condition of your home will warn you of defects and help you avoid escalating repair and maintenance costs in the future.
