PlanetRent Partners LegalForLandlords
Automated lettings platform PlanetRent has partnered with legal firm LegalforLandlords, to help support landlords with their legal requirements. The Warrington-based legal service has an in-house legal team, but also offers services from a selection of partners, which includes the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Equifax; it provides support from basic legal matters to advice on dealing with difficult tenants. PlanetRent automates key processes in the lettings process such as compliance and marketing, and was developed in-house by residential property consultancy Ringley Group. The announcement comes just a month after the business unveiled its partnership with The360View to offer virtual tours of rental properties.

Let Agreed: This term indicates that a landlord has provisionally agreed to enter into a rental agreement with a prospective tenant, pending additional checks and referencing. It doesn't require the prospective tenant to have paid a holding deposit.
Let: This term signifies an established binding rental agreement between the landlord and tenant.
For both lettings and sales, the guidance addresses additional terms:
New On The Market: This term is used for a property not advertised since its last sale or rental. It should only be used for a brief period.
New Instruction: It applies to a property assigned to an agent for marketing recently, even if it was previously listed with another agent without being sold or rented.
New and Exclusive: This term refers to a property that is either new on the market or a new instruction, exclusively available through a specific agent or portal.
New Method of Sale/Let: This term is used when a property is being marketed for sale or rent using an alternative approach to the original advertisement, such as transitioning to an auction or sealed bid.
Reduced: This term indicates that a property's price has recently been reduced. The reduction should be genuine and comply with the Chartered Trading Standards Institute's guidelines on pricing practices.
