Hi all,

We are very pleased to announce the launch of the Smart Landlord affiliate programme on Affiliate Window!

Smart Landlord

Smart Landlord provides a range of services to landlords and property owners.

The first products to be offered are Energy Performance Certificates, but future products to be released in the next few weeks include Buildings and Contents insurance, Rent guarantee insurance and property maintenance.

Energy Performance Certificates are now a legal requirement for buy to let property. Landlords risk a £200 fine if they do not have a certificate.

Smart Landlord is backed by Towergate, Europe's largest independent insurance broker.

The Commission

We are paying £10 commission on all valid Energy Performance Certificate leads. A valid lead is someone who is contactable and has an interest in obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate for their property.

Hi Keith,

I think this will be a good fit for my Landlord Insurance page.

Off to sign up now.

Edit - can't find you in AW!?

I think you should be aware there is very fierce competition in this industry.

There are approx 4 times more Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs) fighting for estate agency business (the primary source of leads) than originally estimated by Govt to be needed.

The home-selling market, as I'm sure most are aware, is dying, squashing demand even further and making the 4x over-manning a conservative figure.

The rental sector experienced its bubble last month, when EPCs became mandatory in law. Reports are that this bubble burst within about 3 weeks.

EPCs on rentals have a validity period of 10 years.

Furthermore, DEAs are extremely sensitive to 'middlemen' scooping a cut from already severely depressed fees - I kid you not!

DEAs have quite hefty overheads and responsibilities. If anyone is at all acquainted with the delayed launch of HIPs last year, you will know/understand that thousands of people have already been burnt quite heavily, trying to recoup training and accreditation costs and now enduring the financial crisis.

I have reported on this industry since before they were rolled-out last year. I am not a competitor trying to protect a market from new entrants. You must conduct your own due-diligence.
