The Darwen Property Blog: Legionella Legislation - the importance of adhering to it.

Friday 7 August 2015

Legionella Legislation - the importance of adhering to it.

How would a £20k Fine affect your property investment model?

For us Landlords there doesn't seem to be a month goes by without us having to take on board and make adjustments to our business to accommodate yet another piece of legislation.

Bonkers or what?

Some of this legislation, I know is bonkers, but the tightening up things to minimise the risk of our tenants becoming exposed and potentially very ill (sometimes fatally) is certainly one thing we must not ignore.

It's serious, very serious.

What if I don’t comply with the new rules?

If you fail to carry out the basics listed above, basically causing your tenant to contract the disease you can receive a criminal prosecution and a fine of up to £20,000 per breach; per property.

If you are using a good agent, they should be upto speed on this matter. But might just be worth putting a call into them to make sure.

Looking for Property Investment Opportunities in Darwen or East Lancashire, well your in the right place.

In this blog, I will talk about what is happening in the Darwen property market itself, even looking at specific streets and estates in Darwen. At other times, I will post what I consider decent buy to let deals in the town. Some will be on the market with me (as I also sell property and source for investors from all backgrounds and levels of experience), but most will be on the market with other estate agents in Darwen. I like to look at the whole of market and give you, what I consider the best investment opportunities, regardless of which agent is selling it.
