How to eSign a document: e-signature legitimateness for Commercial Lease Agreement in United Kingdom

hello everyone this is roxanna from utopian lettings welcome back to my channel today i want to teach you how to get an agreement signed digitally and for free so let's start um my favorite platform at the moment is sign request the link is sign request.com i will leave it in the description they have you can have about three agreements signed for free and after that if you want some pro features there is a paid version as well i am currently just using the free version and i want to show you how it works and how to use it okay so i'm going to log into my account as you can see from the screen in order to create an account you have many options you have google here you can log in with dropbox linkedin microsoft facebook everything you can possibly think of it's there so my details are already signed and saved so um yeah i've already logged in now this is my professional email one of them it's info art utopian lettings okay and now i am going to go to the next step which is uploading a document so this is particularly useful if you want to sign an agreement to rent a room in an hmo and this tenancy agreement is particularly designed for renting a room if you need this you can find it on utopian lettings website i'm going to leave a link in the description as well for you to go and download that it is for sale it's not free but if you don't have any other one you can use this one because it's very well written okay so i have uploaded my assured short hold tenancy agreement and i want to explain what these options here are first option it's called me and others so me and others means that first you're going to sign the contract and then they're going to send it to the tenant to sign it and what happens after that is that once both parties have signed the agreement the website sends the email with the agreement in pdf format and it's legally binding it's really nice that it's legally binding and you can use it you can save it in a your dropbox or in your google documents and you have it there and the tenant also has it together with the other things that you should be sending them we do have a course about property management and hmo management where you can learn about all the other things you need to send to the tenant with the agreement um okay so and you can find that on our website if you want to learn more about that you can check it out okay for now so as i said you have the option of signing it yourself and the others this is only me is um a tenancy agreement that you have already sent to the tenant and they have already signed it so you just want to send here you can upload the copy that is already signed and you can send it you can sign it yourself and then send it to the tenant for them to to have a copy of the contract signed by you as well okay and other only is one contract that already has everything filled you've signed it and you send it to the tenant to sign it as well okay so me and other are um this is suitable for a contract that hasn't been signed by any of the parties and that's the one i'm going to be using because i want to show you how to um prepare a document okay so i'm going to randomly choose an email i'm not gonna be sending this email to anyone because um i don't know who that person is who has the email tenant at yahoo.com but yeah it's a it's a you know a good choice of a tenant email okay and i'm not gonna write any message to them just gonna click this box because you are not allowed to send um or to use this platform before you tick the box but ideally you should be reading the terms and conditions and the privacy policy as well unlike me okay so um after you have put your email so this is my email it's already saved in there because i have created the account with this email this is the tenant's email so now this document is going to be prepared and then send to both parties okay so preparing the document is going to be now um this is an agreement that is blank but i want you to imagine that you've already filled everything up before so because this is really time consuming if you want to feel all the details of this agreement inside this platform okay so imagine all of this is filled okay and i want to show you at the bottom okay so this agreement is for the landlord so i'm going to tick here if you just click on it you're going to have these options this means you throw away the field this means you have the option of doing boxes so for example if you go to the top here where you have furnished and unfurnished here this is a box that needs to be filled so i'm gonna say that i'm the one who needs to tick this box or not so do i want to rent the property furnished or unfurnished you should be able to discuss that with the land with the tenant before doing this agreement anyway okay so this is a field that needs re needs to be ticked or not okay and the person who decides that is the the manager or the landlord of the property then what do we want let's just say we want the i'm going to scroll to the bottom we're just going to focus on this part here so we're going to say we want the landlord to write their name so i'm going to put a text field and the email of the landlord okay and here is the text field okay so landlord is going to write their name here full name you can make this bigger uh just in case they have a longer name but i think it's adjusting anyway okay and then the signature where's the signature landlord's signature okay this is a field where you need to have the signature field okay so if you want them to sign you put a box for signing okay this is a very big box but you can adjust it so here's how you just just grab this and you adjust it there you go okay and for the tenant here so you can ask the tenant by clicking here you ask the tenant to type their name okay so this is tenant the one who's supposed to do it okay uh tenant yeah this is the field for the tenant and the tenant signature okay and this is the signature and i'll show you after the way the signature field looks it's really nice it's so easy to use okay so i have prepared this document now we have established who needs to sign where and now i'm going to press sign and send okay sign and send means now they're producing my copy with all the fields required by me to sign and after that they're going to send this to the tenant okay so uh tenancy agreement okay so they're showing me arrows if i tick on the arrow they're gonna send me to the first field that needs to be sorted if you click here you need to decide do you want to do it for initial and unfinished now normally you would have to do both of them not just one but you know just for example here for the purpose of demo i've just randomly put that okay so the second field that i need to sign is the landlord and here you can just do a text you can write landlord name okay of course that needs to have the landlord's name not that okay and the signature so this is my signature the program saved it yeah the website saved it and you can insert it or you can go and you can type it so if you choose type and then you actually type your name here you can choose which one of these you like most and i've noticed that most tenants prefer that because it looks fun okay let's say no is this the landlord landlord signature here this looks really nice and this one okay let's choose this one okay oh this is a bit small so you can make it a bit bigger looks nice um once you have received the signs yeah the agreement you can't actually write on top of it okay so landlord signed it's already done and now that you've signed all the fields required all you need to do is finalize if i press finalize now they're going to email someone called tenant yahoo.com and they're gonna receive this request to sign so i'm not gonna be doing that but that's all you need to be doing okay uh i hope you liked my little demo this is a really good tool i will be making the future a video where i will be revising different platforms with signatures and what's interesting about them and which one's best and all of that but for now let's just keep it simple and use this one okay i hope you liked my video and good luck with finding tenants for your rooms and if you need any help feel free to contact me drop me an email now you know my email okay have a good day see you next time bye bye
