The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) has purchased property safety certification provider Safe2 to help its private landlord members meet required standards.
Safe2 is designed to provide landlords with a single service to ensure gas, electrical safety and energy performance certificates are up to date.
When a safety check determines that a property has not met legal minimum standards, the platform can provide a quote for the required remedial work.
NRLA members will be entitled to a 5% discount when using any of Safe2’s services.
The association has also rolled out a free online platform management tool called ‘Portfolio’, which will allow landlord members to manage all aspects of a tenancy in one place.
Ben Beadle, CEO at the NRLA, said: “With major reforms to the sector on the way, we want to make it easier for landlords to meet all their legal obligations, manage their properties, and provide the best service possible to their tenants.
“The investment being made by the NRLA in new technologies and digital services will help us to achieve these objectives.
“It will ensure responsible landlords are easily able to meet their legal requirements, at the same time as giving tenants greater confidence that the properties they rent are safe and secure.”
