We are in the process of preparing a 'Let Only' agreement and, under section 48 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987, I understand that a landlord is required to furnish an address in England or Wales. Unfortunately this poses some problems as our client is overseas. We have a contact address for him in the USA, but his employers in the UK are prepared for their address to be used. Is this satisfactory? |

Yes, the use of an employer's address is permitted in this instance. However, I would suggest to the landlord that he appoints you as his agent in order to keep a close eye on the property on his behalf. Some tenants could find themselves liable for deducting tax from overseas landlords and accounting to the revenue for it. It really would be much better if the landlord used some form of agent (could be a relative) to manage the property whilst overseas. |
