For a normal whole-property let

This is the baseline England assured periodic route for a straightforward whole-property tenancy. Use it when the let is fairly standard and you do not need the extra operational detail in the Premium assured periodic route or one of the specialist products.

The pack is designed to cover the main agreement and the practical paperwork around it without turning a simple tenancy into something bloated or overcomplicated.

What this route covers

  • England assured periodic agreement for a normal whole-property residential let
  • Keeps the wording and support paperwork proportionate
  • Separate from the Premium assured periodic, Student, HMO / Shared House, and Lodger routes
  • Guided setup with a preview before payment

How this lines up with the current England rules

  • Built around the current England assured periodic route from 1 May 2026.
  • Covers the written-information points needed for the main England residential tenancy route.
  • Comes with the practical England support paperwork around the agreement.
  • Where the facts are really student, shared-house, or resident-landlord, use the specialist route instead.

This route is usually right if

  • the tenancy is a straightforward whole-property England let
  • you want the current England route with the core support pack but not the fuller Premium assured periodic schedule
  • you want a clean baseline agreement without specialist student, shared-house, or resident-landlord wording

Pick a different route if

  • you want fuller wording around inspections, repairs handling, keys, contractor access, and handover from the start
  • the main issue is student occupation, guarantors, or end-of-term student turnover
  • the property is really a shared house / HMO or a room let in the landlord home
