Obtain written permission from your mortgage lender before letting. Check that your buildings and contents insurance covers rental use — standard homeowner policies often don't.
Annual gas safety certificates from a qualified engineer, electrical checks (EICR), Legionella Risk Assessment, smoke detectors (mains-operated and interlinked), and carbon monoxide detectors are all mandatory.
