Local Authority Benefits
Following the introduction of new legislation the SafeUKation service enables local authorities to regulate the holiday letting market the same as other rental accommodation.
Local authorities can easily create a cloud-based public register of all short-term lets in their district, which allows them to monitor property usage as required by the new National Short-term Let Registration Scheme and also enforce UK health and safety standards.
Account Setup
It is a quick and easy process to create a local authority account on SafeUKation and does not require any software installation or complex product training. Once created, council's should instruct all short-term let landlords in their district to register their properties with SafeUKation and implement an appropriate Service Plan, so all the required safety regulation documents will be uploaded to their landlord account, such as Fire Risk Assessment and Gas and Electrical Safety Certificates. Subsequently council's can review these key safety documents via their SafeUKation account to make a decision on approving a rental or issuing a licence via the National Short-term Let Registration Scheme.
Finally the SafeUKation report facility enables councils to be periodically emailed a report showing properties whose safety regulations are due to expire so their landlords can be issued a reminder to renew them and therefore avoid any non-compliance.
