Frequently asked questions
Yes. The proposed legislation will abolish Section 21 evictions, meaning landlords will no longer be able to evict tenants without a valid legal reason. All evictions must be based on clearly defined grounds.
No. Fixed-term tenancies will be replaced by periodic (rolling) tenancies. This gives tenants greater flexibility, allowing them to leave at any time with two months’ notice.
We use a trusted third-party referencing agency with a minimum affordability requirement of 2.5x the annual rent, which may increase to 3x in certain cases for additional security.
The process includes open banking checks and fraud prevention tools to verify tenant suitability. Where tenants meet the required criteria, the agency can also offer a rent guarantee insurance product to help protect the landlord’s income.
Holding money in a bank offers security and liquidity, but typically lower returns.
Buy-to-let property can provide higher yields and long-term capital growth, particularly when using mortgage leverage. However, it also comes with increased responsibilities, tax considerations, and regulatory requirements.
For this reason, working with the right letting and management agent is essential to maximise returns and minimise risk.
Landlords will still be able to regain possession under specific circumstances, including:
- Intending to sell the property
- Moving in themselves or a close family member
- Tenant rent arrears
- Anti-social behaviour
- Significant renovations to the property
Yes. Rent increases will typically be limited to once per year and must reflect fair market rates. Landlords are required to serve a Section 13 notice.
Tenants will have stronger rights to challenge unfair increases through a tribunal and may continue paying their existing rent until a decision is made.
We operate a strict arrears management process, including regular communication via text, email, and phone calls.
If rent remains unpaid after seven days, we escalate the matter to a third-party debt collection agency.
If rent protection insurance is in place, the insurer will also pursue the tenant and cover rental payments in line with the policy terms.
Yes, this is possible. However, it can significantly reduce your pool of potential buyers – by up to 75% in some cases – as most buyers are owner-occupiers rather than investors. Many buyers’ solicitors will also advise against exchanging contracts until the property is vacant.
While selling with tenants in place may help avoid a void period, presenting a vacant property often leads to stronger demand and a smoother sales process.
Our letting process for landlords
Letting your property with Virelle is simple, efficient, and tailored to your needs. Here’s how we guide you every step of the way:
1. Tailored discovery call
We start with a consultation to understand your goals. Whether it’s over the phone, via video, or in person, we’ll tailor our approach to meet your unique needs as a landlord.
2. Property preparation
Our services exceed those of most other UK letting agents; it’s what makes Virelle special. From ensuring compliance to arranging furniture packs or guiding you through setting up a UK bank account, we identify what’s needed to get you and your property market-ready. A 360 solution that puts our overseas investors at ease.
3. Professional marketing
We capture your property’s potential with high-quality photographs, floorplans, videos and targeted listings on Rightmove, Zoopla and social media. Your property is showcased to attract the right tenants quickly.
4. Rigorous pre-vetting
We only show your property to pre-vetted applicants who meet our strict eligibility criteria. This ensures fewer viewings but higher-quality tenants, saving time, reducing risks and giving you the best foundations for the greatest returns.
5. Comprehensive tenant referencing
Our due diligence is thorough—no guarantors, no exceptions. We go beyond standard referencing to find tenants who will care for your property.
6. Letting and management
For our Let & Manage landlords, once let, we manage your property with care, conducting regular inspections every six months, rent reviews, and annual compliance checks. Our in-house property management team is available seven days a week to support tenants and ensure your investment is in excellent hands.
7. Competitive and transparent fees
Our fair, transparent pricing reflects the quality and efficiency of our service. We focus on well-maintained properties, working with landlords who care as much as we do about high standards.
