Cooke & Co Free, No Obligation E Guides

At Cooke & Co we like to give our clients free, no obligation advice.

Please find below links to our completely free e guides with helpful advice and checklists covering sales, lettings, buying and moving.

We know how frustrating it is when you have to hand over all your personal details just to get some basic help. At Cooke & Co we do things differently. You are welcome to use these guides without giving us your email address, phone number or any other information in return.

Important update about these guides

Please note that some of the guides below are currently in the process of being updated.

We have chosen to leave them on the website because they still contain useful background information, practical tips and general guidance. However, property law, landlord responsibilities, tenancy rules, tax reporting and best practice have changed significantly in recent years, especially during 2025 and 2026.

Some guides may therefore contain older references, previous procedures or legislation that has since been amended, replaced or overtaken by newer rules.

These guides should be treated as general guidance only and should not be fully relied upon as the final or most up to date position.

Please contact Cooke & Co before acting on any guide if you want the latest information, current legal position or updated practical advice.

We are always happy to help with the most up to date guidance for your circumstances, whether you are buying, selling, renting, letting or managing property.

We just ask, nicely, that you consider us if you are thinking of buying, selling or renting a home in Thanet.

If there is a particular guide you would like to see updated or written, please contact Damien Cooke and we will do our best to help.

Thank you for choosing Cooke & Co.
