Tenancy transfer

Options, risks and opportunities for landlords

If you're a landlord considering switching letting agents, it's essential to understand what a tenancy transfer involves, the risks of doing it incorrectly, and how to protect your legal and financial position.

​

We'll explain why landlords choose to transfer their tenancy to Let with AMRP, how the process works, and which opportunities become available once stability and compliance are restored.

Tenancy transfer explained

A tenancy transfer is the formal process of moving an existing tenancy from one letting agent to another.  While it may appear straightforward, a poorly managed transfer can expose landlords to serious risks - including invalid notices, deposit disputes, compliance breaches, and difficulties regaining possession in the future.

​

At Let with AMRP, tenancy transfers are handled through a structured, compliance-led process designed to stabilise your tenancy, protect your position and give you full visibility and control moving forward.

How can we help?

Why landlords transfer their tenancy to Let with AMRP

Many landlords reach a stage where they begin questioning whether their current letting agent is still delivering value, clarity and, protection.  We regularly support landlords experiencing:

  • Poor or inconsistent communication

  • Unclear or unsupported maintenance costs

  • Limited visibility over property condition

  • Missing documents or historic compliance gaps

  • Rent arrears that are not being proactively managed

  • Portfolios that no longer align with original investment goals

​

At Let with AMRP, our role is not just to "take over" management - it's to restore structure, transparency, and confidence in your tenancy.

The three biggest "pain points" and how we fix them.

1

Communication and transparency

Poor communication is the most common reason landlords decide to change agents.  

​

Our systems are designed to remove uncertainty and provide accountability through:

​

  • Office-based call handling with automatic missed-call alerts

  • Proactive weekly updates for vacant properties

  • Rent issue updates on the 1st and 15th of every month

  • Full team Calendly booking links for structured communication

  • 24/7 emergency maintenance support for tenants

2

Maintenance and property condition

Landlords often tell us they lack confidence in the accuracy or justification of maintenance charges.

​

We provide full transparency using Fixflo, combined with structured inspections and reporting:

​

  • Full photographic and video inventories via InventoryBase software

  • Routine interim inspections with clear written reports

  • Fixflo maintenance trackingw ith photos, quotes, invoices and timelines

  • Pre- and post-works images for full visibility

  • Contractor accountability and quality control

  • Use of vetted, trusted contractors only

3

Financial clarity and rent stability

Uncertainty around rent payments and statements is another key frustration.

​

Our financial systems provide:

​

  • Twice-monthly automated rent statements (1st and 15th)

  • A "rent due" management structure for proactive arrears handling

  • Clear PDF statements with all contractor invoices attached

  • Audit-ready records suitable for accountants and lenders

Our two-stage tenancy transfer audit

Many agents will agree to take over a tenancy with minimal checks.  Very few carry out the level of auditing required to properly protect landlords.

​

Let with AMRP follows a strict two-stage tenancy transfer audit.

1

Property compliance audit

We review:
​

  • Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)

  • Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)

  • EPC compliance

  • Legionella risk assessment

  • Smoke & carbon monoxide alarm compliance

  • Selective or additional licensing requirements

  • Any outstanding enforcement or maintenance issues.

2

Tenancy documentation audit

We check:

  • The tenancy agreement and execution dates

  • Proof of deposit protection and prescribed information

  • Right to Rent documentation

  • Evidence of service of mandatory documents (How to Rent guide, EPC, gas safety, EICR)

  • Inventories, inspection reports and any compliance-affecting gaps


Where documents are missing, incorrect, or served late, risks are identified and corrective action is taken to protect your future legal position.

What does this achieve?

A fully stabilised and legally protected tenancy file, enabling:

  • Safe, compliant ongoing management

  • Preserved future possession rights if ever required

  • Improved rent stability and reporting

  • Clear foundations for future planning

Opportunities once stability is restored

Once your tenancy is compliant and under control, Let with AMRP supports landlords with wider investment opportunities
