Does anyone have experience of using Open Rent for a property in the following circumstances. If so what documents did you use to prove ownership of property?
Husband and wife with wife having LPA for husbands finances. Needs to rent out a property on husband name (has been rented privately for 40 plus years) using Open Rent as it’s so much safer than private renting. Can you use an LPA certificate?
I had an EPA for my Mum and they accepted that. It was a few years ago now, so I can’t remember the exact process, but I don’t remember it being difficult.
I managed the property though my own account too.
You should be able to use a letter signed by your husband granting you consent to let the property. You can then act as the sole landlord. For tax purposes, the rental income would remain with the actual owners.
You can use title deeds off the land registry as proof of ownership.
Regarding LPA I used a solicitor to be formally registered on government LPA website.
You then provide whichever body with access code to show them the LPA.
