| Thinking of Letting?
Whether you are an experienced Landlord, or are considering letting a property for the very first time we would very much like the opportunity of talking to you. Below is a general overview of our company and the services we provide, however, we treat each client individually and tailor our letting and management service to your individual needs and requirements.
We offer a no obligation appraisal service, where a senior member of staff visits your property, advises you of the likely achievable rent, informs you your legal and statutory obligations and explains the services we can provide.

Our Services
Let Only (Tenant Find)
This service is often chosen by experienced Landlords, or those who wish to be actively involved in the management and day to day running of their properties. We advise that a good understanding of the Housing Act 1988 (amended 1994) is essential together with a thorough understanding of current safety and deposit regulations.
Before we commence with the marketing of your property we will help you obtain the correct safety certificates to ensure the property is safe for your tenants, and to protect your interest:-
The certificates currently required are: -
- Gas Safety Certificate
- Electrical Safety Certificate
- An Energy Performance Certificate
|
Upon your instruction we will fully market the property including full colour advertising, and the inclusion on the following web sites
      
In addition, we will contact all applicants that are registered on our extensive database, and arrange viewings for those suitable.
An experienced member of our staff will accompany all prospective tenants to the property allowing us to meet them first hand.
If an applicant wishes to proceed we will consult with you, and subject to agreement being reached we will take a reservation fee from the tenant to show their commitment. The prospective tenant will then be asked to complete the relevant paperwork to allow us to commence with the referencing. Once the forms are completed we will forward them to our chosen referencing agency for them to check their credit worthiness and suitability as tenants.
Subject to a satisfactory report being obtained we will prepare the relevant legal documentation, finalise the move in date, and arrange for an inventory/check in if required. Before the tenant takes occupation we will collect the security deposit (usually six weeks rent) and the first months rental payment.
Upon completion of the let we will send you a full Landlords pack which will contain all the documentation required to commence with the further management of your property.
Included will be: -
- The Tenancy Agreement
- A signed standing order for future rent payments
- A gas safety certificate (If required)
- An electrical safety certificate (If required)
- An energy performance certificate (If required)
- An Inventory / check in report (If required)
- Legal & Rent protection policy (If required)
- A tenancy deposit certificate (If deposit held by us)
- A statement showing all disbursements
Once the tenants have taken occupation you will be responsible for the day to day running of the property. This includes the collection of the rent, arranging for maintenance and repairs, the renewal of safety certificates, the completion of all insurance forms and the issuing of legal notices. |
