Landlord Address for Service

Landlord Discussion Legal
1

I live abroad and I want to rent my property out in the uk, but I am required to provide a Landlord Address for Service in the uk, which I am struggling to find, as I would like to self manage the rent. Does anybody know what options I have apart from the ones of solicitors, estate agents, etc.

Nothing new, it dates back to 1987 legislation

Under Section 48 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987, landlords in England and Wales must provide tenants with a physical address in England or Wales for serving notices (including legal proceedings)

Here is a list of the types addresses that landlords typically provide:

  • Landlord’s home address
  • Business address
  • Landlord’s solicitor’s address
  • The address of the letting agent or managing agent.
  • Address of a friend or relative (popular for landlords who live abroad)

Can the Section 48 Notice be a PO Box?

No. The postal address cannot be a PO box. It must be an actual, physical address.

Best
