For landlords in England who manage their own property
Doing it right is not the same as being able to prove it.
Section 21 is gone, so a possession claim now turns on what you can show. Most landlords we speak to believe they are compliant. Almost none can produce the paperwork.
realgood checks a tenancy against all 29 obligations, tells you what is missing, and produces the evidence when someone asks for it.
Free, and you do not need an account.
A signature and a date
Notices go by Royal Mail Signed For. Nobody else in this market posts anything, which is why nobody else can prove it arrived.
All 29 obligations
Plain English, about nine minutes, no account. Everything the law now asks of a landlord in England.
Escalate when needed
When something needs a solicitor, we hand it to a regulated firm rather than guessing.
The Information Sheet requirement is in force. If you have not served it on your tenants, you are in breach now, and the breach continues until you do.
Services
Everything here leaves you with proof
Buy one at a time, or take a plan and most of these are included. Every price is on the pricing page.
Information Sheet — Tracked Post
We print and post the official Information Sheet to every tenant by Royal Mail Signed For, giving you a named signature and timestamp. You cannot get that with a stamp or by handing it over in person.
Rent Increase Notice
The prescribed Section 13 notice, with the correct form, notice period and frequency checked. This is now the only lawful way to raise rent.
Section 8 Readiness Pack
Section 21 is abolished, so every possession claim now runs through Section 8. We assess whether your paperwork would survive one, before you need it to.
Written Statement of Terms
For verbal tenancies, where you cannot serve the Information Sheet. We generate the written summary of key terms the law requires you to give your tenant.
Deposit Protection Audit
We check every deposit against the five-week cap, the 30-day protection deadline and the Prescribed Information requirement. Breaches carry a penalty of one to three times the deposit.
Compliance Monitoring
Deadline alerts, regulation change notifications and annual health checks. One flat fee for your whole account, not per property, because gas, electrical, EPC and licensing all run on their own clocks.
Buy any service on its own, or take a plan and most are included.
How it works
It takes three steps, and the first is free
01
Check where you stand
Answer 29 questions and see the full result. No account, no payment, and you can stop halfway and come back.
02
Close the gaps
Anything you flag comes with a plain next step and a link to the official guidance. Where we can do it for you, we say so.
03
Keep the proof
Documents, Royal Mail signatures and expiry dates sit in one place. Not a list of what you did, but evidence of it, dated.
Trust
You are telling us about your property. Here is how we treat it.
We are a compliance company. Being careless with your data would be a strange way to prove the point.
The free check stores nothing
Run the compliance check without an account and your answers stay in your browser. Nothing reaches our database unless you ask us to email the result.
Encrypted, and separated per account
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access rules are enforced in the database itself, not just in the interface, so one account cannot reach another's records.
Identity documents are deleted
Where a check requires a document, we keep it only as long as the check it supports, then remove it. We do not keep copies for any other purpose.
Addresses are verified, not typed
Property addresses are checked against Ordnance Survey where we send documents on your behalf, so a notice goes to the address on the record rather than whatever was typed at eleven at night.
We never sell your data
No data broker, no advertiser, no letting agent. Our sub-processors are named in the Data Processing Agreement and each is bound by data processing terms.
realgood is a trading name of Real Good Compliance Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 17379321. We are a compliance administration service, not a law firm, and we do not give legal advice.
