With so many changes affecting the buy-to-let sector and a heap of regulations to adhere to, wouldn’t making landlord admin that bit quicker be more effective for your lettings business?
While there are certain circumstances where you must provide a paper copy (for example, with section 21 notices), there are instances when mounds of paperwork can be avoided.
If you’re looking to take on new tenants and will soon be issuing a tenancy agreement, wouldn’t it be easier to have documents returned within minutes without having to organise a face-to-face meeting with tenants and print off copies of contracts?
Making Landlord Admin Quicker for You and Your Tenants
Now, there is an online application that could help you make the lettings process more time and cost effective.
Signable is an electronic signature application, which already helps many UK landlords save time, money and become more secure. Signable allows documents to be signed on any device, meaning that tenancy agreements can be signed securely on the move at any time of day. This way, tenants can get everything back to you quickly and efficiently – Signable reports that documents are returned under 30 minutes on average.
Electronic signatures, or e-signatures, allow someone to agree the contents of an electronic message, such as an emailed copy of a tenancy agreement. With Signable, all documents are securely stored.
And don’t fear – Signable complies with the latest electronic signature laws in the UK and EU. Under the Electronic Communications Act 2000, documents signed electronically are just as legally binding than paper-based signatures.
Signable can be used for a variety of documents, including tenancy agreements and inventories. They can be created, signed and filed electronically, all from the Signable app, making the whole process easy for you and your tenants.
The firm’s Rob Bluck explains: “Along with saving time and money, landlords who use Signable are able to make the complete document-signing process easier for tenants.”
Landlords are currently using the service for the following: AST documents, application forms, guarantor forms, holding fee forms, direct debit/payment forms, deposit forms and feedback forms.
If you are an HMO landlord, it is also good to know that you can have various tenants sign the same document using Signable.
