Buying a tenanted property comes with a legal duty most new landlords miss: you must tell the tenant in writing that you are the new owner, with your name and address, or face a fine of up to £2,500.

This letter does that job and reassures your new tenants at the same time.

In this free template you'll be able to:

  • Meet the section 3 Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 notice duty and give a section 48 address for service
  • Confirm the tenancy, rent and deposit continue unchanged, with no unlawful demand to sign a new agreement
  • Record the deposit transfer, the new scheme reference and where rent is now paid
  • Keep a delivery record for your file, so you can prove the notice was given
