Written and reviewed in the United Kingdom
The person who keeps every LetCompliance guide source-led
Every public guide, council page and dataset is reviewed against primary UK legislation before it ships. The same reading turns those rules into the deadlines, reminders and dated records inside the product.

The founder writes and checks every guide
Last reviewedReviewed by Erdem Volkan
“Every guide and every check on LetCompliance starts from the GOV.UK source and the legislation itself, and is reviewed before it goes live. Nothing is recycled from another site.”
Founder of LetCompliance, landlord and property management software for England. Leads the product and its editorial standards: the lettings and rent tools, the Section 8 (Form 3A) and Section 13 (Form 4A) notice builders, the repair response tracker, the 0 to 100 certificate score and the SA105 and Making Tax Digital tax pack. Reviews every public guide, glossary entry and city / council page against primary UK legislation (Housing Act 1988, Housing Act 2004, Deregulation Act 2015, Renters’ Rights Act 2025) and GOV.UK / HSE / MHCLG publications before publication.
Areas of expertise
How a single guide gets to the homepage
- 01Step 1
Read the primary source
We start at the Act, the statutory instrument, the GOV.UK guidance or the regulator’s own publication, never a third-party blog.
- 02Step 2
Check the local detail
Council licensing facts come from the council’s own page, and fines and deadlines from the legislation or the regulator that sets them.
- 03Step 3
Write, link, date
Guides carry inline citations, a “Last reviewed” date and structured data, so search engines and AI assistants can see who wrote them and when.
- 04Step 4
Review again when the law moves
When a licensing scheme, fee schedule or statutory date changes, the affected pages are checked again and their review date moves forward.

What you can hold us to
Source-first, opinion-second
Every legal claim links to GOV.UK, legislation.gov.uk or the named regulator. If a primary source disagrees with us, we change the article.
Paid links are labelled
Where a page shows a partner that pays us a referral fee, it says so beside the link. Guides are not written around a partner, and tools we name, we name on merit.
Visible review dates
Guides show a “Last reviewed” date, and their structured data carries the same date, so search engines and assistants can see when a page was last checked.
Reviewed when the law moves
When a statutory instrument lands or a fee schedule changes, the affected pages are checked again and their review date moves forward.
Accountability
How pages are kept current
Guides and council pages carry a visible Last reviewed date. Licensing schemes, fee schedules and legal references are checked again when they change, not on a timetable that nobody can see being kept.
When a rule changes, the affected pages are corrected and their dateModified moves forward, so the date on the page and the date in its structured data always agree.
What you can check
- Primary sources cited inline
- A visible "Last reviewed" date
- Structured data dated to match the page
- Corrections made when a reader reports one
- Referral partners labelled wherever they appear
