Invaluable Guide for Landlords & More | Davis Blank Furniss

With the property market being continually squeezed, now isn’t a great time for residential landlords and things aren’t set to get much better in the short term. One of the main challenges they face is finding and retaining reliable tenants but also adhering to ever tightening legislation. So, the Commercial Litigation team at Davis Blank Furniss – the Manchester based law firm – has compiled and launched its own Top 10 Tips to help guide landlords through the maze and to ensure they take the necessary steps to protect themselves.
The easy to read two page document, which is available now, contains useful information on the key issues for the sector including; how to carry out full tenant checks, the importance of tenancy agreements, protection schemes, service charges and the specific requirements for houses with multiple occupancy. The bespoke guide can be obtained and is free of charge.

Andrew Ryan, a partner at Davis Blank Furniss and co-author of the document, commented; ‘Property is still seen by many as a sound investment but managing a buy to let can be a complicated and bureaucratic nightmare. All too often, we see our clients making basic mistakes that end up costing them dearly. If a few simple rules are followed then the process can be relatively painless which is a blessing during such tough times.


Andrew continued; ‘We hope the Guide clearly spells out what’s important and that it ultimately protects landlords and stops them from making avoidable errors.’


Davis Blank Furniss’ Top 10 Tips for Residential Landlords is available now.

Excellent experience start to finish – always very responsive to any queries and the turnaround on the property I was buying was very quick, even in the busy time leading up to stamp duty deadline. Jenny was always very helpful and went above and beyond to close on a short timescale.

Ben Armitage

“Very approachable, practical solutions to problems, but most of all very responsive which I personally think is very important because if you need help, you need it quickly, or at least to know someone is looking at it for you”.

Joanne Rowe, Finance Director, Greater Manchester Chamber

“Always able to contact, very approachable, friendly and professional”

Nives Feely, JAM Recruitment

“I believe I have been able to establish a professional working relationship with everyone I have come into contact. Importantly, I sense the relationships which have been established give me the confidence that I can make contact with Davis Blank Furniss at any time and on any matter. I would also like to express my thanks to the very impressive “gatekeepers” who work in reception, not only for making me very welcome, but also for their professionalism”

Bill Pryke, CEO, Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for the ongoing support and assistance the firm has offered to our parents over the years. I hope also that we may be able to call on you if necessary in the future.”

Valerie Fisher (Probate Client)

“Jo always provides great service, understands our needs and delivers on her promises. Our needs are relatively simple but the complexity arises out of the volume of work and short time frames, Jo always delivers.”

Peter Fernandez, Corporate Director at Royal Bank of Scotland

“A big thank you to all who dealt with my wife’s claim… We would not hesitate to recommend Davis Blank Furniss to anyone that may be in a situation like we have been…”

Anon (Personal Injury client)

“Before putting my case in Kirsty (Morbey)’s capable hands I’ve met a couple of other solicitors. None of them listen to me as intently as Kirsty and showed me as much empathy and understanding as she did. Simultaneously she was able to look at my case from legal perspective, explain all the options and follow each of our meetings with written summary of the discussed matters (in timely manner). Her advice was invaluable and led me to successfully ending the case matter (hopeful for good). I’m forever grateful for he work and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable and committed solicitor”.
