Landlord Compliance Bundle in Hawick
Arrange a Landlord Compliance Bundle for your Hawick rental without the ring-around: we confirm price and availability, the certificate arrives digitally, and the renewal date is tracked for you.
Straight answer
Most rentals in Hawick run on the same certificate clock: gas annually, electrical on a cycle of up to 5 years (England, Scotland and Wales), the EPC every 10 years at re-let, alarms evidenced each tenancy. A bundle syncs those cycles into a plan — anchored on the annual gas visit — rather than four separate scrambles.
Booking
How it works
Live booking isn't switched on for Hawick yet — vetting comes before listing, in that order. Leave your details and you'll get a straight answer by email: whether we can cover the property, when, and for how much. No obligation either way.
Letting property in Hawick
Letting in Hawick: the practical points
The bundle's contents flex by nation; its administration flexes by council. Scottish Borders Council sets the local licensing layer — HMO conditions, evidence expectations — and the bundle file is built to answer exactly those requests for a Hawick property without a scramble.
The inspection
How the bundle is assembled
Expect one coordinated day or two scheduled visits rather than literally one person — gas and electrical are different registrations. Alarm checks and a legionella review ride along with either visit at little extra time. Certificates arrive digitally as each is issued, and the renewal dates go into one tracked calendar instead of four.
The law
Why Landlord Compliance Bundle matters for Hawick landlords
The legal detail that catches landlords out is the mismatch of cycles and triggers: certificates expire on dates, but duties often bite at events — tenancy start for alarms and copies, re-marketing for the EPC, licence renewal for HMO evidence. A bundle mapped to both dates and events, with Scottish Borders Council's licence conditions folded in, closes the gaps single bookings leave.
The bundle is a convenience, not a legal product: your CP12, EICR, EPC, alarm check and PAT record are each issued under their own rules, by appropriately qualified professionals, on their own renewal cycles. We coordinate the diary so nothing lapses.
Penalties stated are statutory maximums or court-set; Scottish Borders Council is the local housing authority for Hawick.
Pricing
What the bundle costs
What moves the total: whether the property has gas at all, how many appliances and circuits there are, whether the EPC is actually due this year, and any licence extras. An honest bundle quote itemises per certificate — you should see what each document costs and what the bundling saves, not a single opaque number.
Credentials
Who you're letting in
A bundle is only as good as its weakest registration, so ours are assembled trade by trade: Gas Safe registration for the gas record, recognised-scheme electricians for the EICR, accredited domestic energy assessors for the EPC — each verified individually before booking, never covered by a general handyman ticket.
FAQ
What Hawick landlords ask us
What is a landlord compliance bundle?
A combined booking that covers the recurring safety certificates a rental needs — typically the annual gas safety record, the 5-yearly EICR, the EPC when due, and alarm checks — arranged together instead of piecemeal.
Why bundle certificates rather than book separately?
Fewer visits and access requests for your tenant, aligned renewal dates that are easier to track, and typically better pricing than booking each certificate on its own. One file of documents also simplifies licensing and agent requests.
What does a Hawick rental legally need in the bundle?
For most gas-supplied rentals: an annual gas safety record, an EICR at least every 5 years (England, Scotland and Wales), a valid EPC when letting, and compliant smoke and CO alarms. Property-specific extras — HMO fire doors, PAT for supplied appliances — depend on your setup and licence conditions.
How do I keep track of renewal dates?
Anchor everything to the annual gas visit, diarise the EICR expiry and EPC expiry when each certificate arrives, and re-check the alarm evidence at every tenancy change. A single spreadsheet per property with four dates covers the core cycle.
What's the combined exposure if certificates lapse?
Each regime carries its own enforcement: unlimited fines for gas offences, up to £30,000 per EICR breach in England, up to £5,000 per MEES or alarm breach — plus blocked Section 21 notices in England and licensing consequences. Lapses tend to compound, which is the case for tracking renewals together.
