Trust & transparency

Editorial policy

LetCompliance publishes guides on UK private renting, compliance and safety. Because these topics affect money, housing and the law, we treat them as high-stakes (YMYL) content: we aim for clarity, honest limits, and sources you can verify.

Official sources first

Where a rule, form or deadline is set by government, we prioritise links to GOV.UK and other primary materials (e.g. legislation on legislation.gov.uk). Blog articles summarise and contextualise — they are not a substitute for reading the current official text, especially before you serve notices, sign contracts or rely on a date in court.

Information changes — we revise guides

UK landlord law and guidance change (for example energy rules, possession routes, and fee structures). Articles show a published or “last updated” style date where relevant. When we learn that guidance has moved or a section is outdated, we update the page or add an explicit note at the top. Law and local council rules can still differ from any summary — always confirm the live position on GOV.UK or with a qualified adviser.

Not legal, tax or safety advice

Our blog and marketing pages are general information for landlords researching compliance. They do not create a solicitor–client relationship. Gas, electrical and fire safety must be handled by competent professionals. For tenancy disputes, possession, deposits and tax, use a qualified solicitor, accountant or adviser.

Product vs editorial

We may mention LetCompliance features where they genuinely help (e.g. reminders or document tools). Sponsored or paid placements, if we ever use them in editorial spaces, will be labelled clearly. Today, our compliance guides exist to help landlords find accurate information and, where appropriate, discover software that reduces missed deadlines.

Corrections

If you believe something on our site is wrong or misleading, please tell us. We review reports and correct factual errors where we agree they affect landlord decisions.
