That focus starts at the top. GMS is led by director Teresa Glynn, a qualified cost lawyer with over 30 years' experience in legal practice, compliance and litigation support, which is why tenancy paperwork here is treated as landlord protection, not admin.

Stay ahead of the changes

The rules keep moving, and the Renters Rights reforms are reshaping the sector again. Our 2026 compliance checklist sets out everything you need before a tenant moves in, and we keep clients updated as the law evolves.

Who this service is for

Managed clients get all of this as standard, inside the 14% management fee. But you do not need to hand over the whole tenancy to get help. Self managing landlords use our compliance support to put the paperwork on a professional footing: we audit what is in place, flag what is missing or about to expire, arrange renewals through trusted local engineers, and keep a dated record you can produce if a tenant, council or court ever asks for it. If you are buying a tenanted property, an audit before completion is one of the cheapest pieces of insurance available.

Frequently asked questions

Which certificates do I legally need to let in Doncaster?

As a minimum: an annual gas safety record if the property has gas, an electrical installation condition report renewed at least every five years, an Energy Performance Certificate rated E or above, and working smoke alarms on every storey with carbon monoxide alarms where required. Deposit protection and right to rent checks are legal duties too.

What happens if I miss something?

Penalties range from civil fines that run into thousands of pounds to criminal liability for gas safety failures. Missing deposit paperwork can also block a possession claim and expose you to a compensation claim of up to three times the deposit.

Does my Doncaster property need a licence?

Larger shared houses need a mandatory HMO licence, and local schemes can add licensing requirements in specific areas. We check what applies to your exact address before a tenancy starts.

Can you fix gaps as well as find them?

Yes. We arrange missing certificates and works through vetted local engineers and contractors, with no markup on their invoices, and record everything so your file stands up to scrutiny.
