Question 1

What does Landlord Insights actually do?

Accepted Answer

We employ a small editorial desk that reads UK landlord regulation every working day. Each change is structured to a fixed schema, covering jurisdiction, instrument, effective date, and the obligation it creates, and published as a weekly Monday briefing and per-property alerts. The full archive is on the website. The product is the structured feed of obligations, not opinion or commentary.

Question 2

Are you a law firm? Are you giving legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. We are a regulatory intelligence service. We tell subscribers what changed, what obligation it creates, and where to find the source instrument. Where a situation requires specific legal advice, we point towards a solicitor. We are not a substitute for one.

Question 3

How is this different from a newsletter or a forum?

Accepted Answer

A newsletter is a one-way broadcast. A forum aggregates anecdote. Landlord Insights is a structured database of landlord obligations with a publishing layer on top. That structure is what makes per-property routing possible, and what makes the quarterly compliance report defensible as an audit trail.

Question 4

Which countries are covered?

Accepted Answer

England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, at primary, secondary, and devolved levels. We monitor national and devolved government sources plus key London borough bulletins. Local authority coverage is expanding, with new councils added as the subscriber base grows.

Question 5

How quickly do new changes appear in the feed?

Accepted Answer

The median time from publication to a structured entry in the archive is under twelve hours during the working week. Items published on Friday afternoons appear in the following Monday's briefing. We do not update overnight or at weekends, by design, to preserve editorial quality.

Question 6

Do you cover First-tier Tribunal decisions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, where they create or clarify an obligation of general application, particularly rent repayment orders and HMO licensing decisions. We do not cover individual possession proceedings.

Question 7

How is pricing structured?

Accepted Answer

Charged per portfolio, not per property. A landlord with one flat pays the same Essentials rate as a landlord with three. The Portfolio tier covers up to 10 properties, the Professional tier is unlimited, and Institutional terms are negotiated.

Question 8

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fourteen days, full access. Card required — no charge for 14 days. Cancellation is by reply to any email. No dark patterns.

Question 9

Can I expense it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The subscription comes with a VAT receipt from a UK registered company. Many subscribers expense it as a property management cost. Portfolio and Professional tiers can be invoiced via BACS.

Question 10

Do you take advertising or sponsored content?

Accepted Answer

No. The product is funded by subscriber revenue only. We do not take referral fees from compliance product vendors, we do not write sponsored content, and we do not run a commercial services arm. The discipline of the product depends on its independence.

Question 11

How do I correct an error in the feed?

Accepted Answer

Email editor@landlordinsights.co.uk. Corrections are reviewed by the editor on the day they are received and, if upheld, published in the following Monday's briefing with a dated correction note. We treat correction speed as a quality metric.

Question 12

Can I tip you off about a local authority change?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and please do. The editor reads every email. Borough-level scheme designations and Article 4 directions are particularly useful, as publication in those areas can be patchy.
