We understand that letting your property, especially for the first time, can be a worrying experience. With this in mind, our most important consideration is providing you, the Landlord, with the best possible service and the right tenant for your property.

We never forget that the property is your most important asset. We can confidently assure you that your asset will be in professional and caring hands by instructing us to act as your Letting and Management Agent.

A Personal Service

Because we are a small firm, we can offer a personal service, with attention to detail, whilst at the same time maintaining a high standard of competence and professionalism.

Competitive Rates

Our fees are competitive and may be open to negotiation, dependent on the level of service required. We are particularly committed to investment Landlords, and savings can be made on the smallest of portfolios.

Carefully Selected Tenants

Drawn from a continually updated register, all prospective Tenants are thoroughly referenced and credit checked. In some cases, we will also require a guarantor.

Before a property can be let, there are several matters which the owner will need to deal with to ensure that the tenancy runs smoothly and also that he/she complies with the law. We provide summarised information below. If you require further advice or assistance with any matter, please do not hesitate to contact us:

Preparing the Property

We have found that a good relationship with Tenants is the key to a smooth-running tenancy. As Property Managers, this relationship is our job. Still, it is important that the Tenants should feel comfortable in their temporary home or office and that they are receiving value for their money. It follows, therefore, that a well presented and maintained property in good decorative order will go towards this, whilst also achieving a higher rental figure. Tenants are also more inclined to treat such a property with greater respect.

Levels of Service Offered

Full Management

This is our inclusive Service, which provides for the marketing of the property and carrying out viewings, leading to the introduction and vetting of a prospective Tenant. This proving satisfactory, we then go ahead and prepare the tenancy agreement and, if required, an inventory. The Tenant will then be checked in against the inventory.

During the tenancy, we carry out periodic inspection visits. Should these bring to light any maintenance issues, we will (within the confines of our Management Agreement) arrange or recommend any necessary repairs.

Collecting and processing rental payments is also an important part of our Full Management Service. Rental balances will be credited automatically to the Landlord’s nominated bank account.

Towards the end of the tenancy, we liaise with the Tenant to renew the tenancy agreement or arrange to check them out and re-advertising the property to let.

This Service is suitable for Landlords who are not residing locally or would rather not deal with the Tenants directly, preferring all aspects to be handled by an Agent.

Letting Only

Our Letting Only Services include marketing of the property and carrying out viewings, leading to the introduction and vetting of a prospective Tenant. This proving satisfactory, we then go ahead and prepare the tenancy agreement and, if required, an inventory.

Following this, the first month’s rent and usually a tenancy deposit is collected and credited to the Landlord less our agreed fee. Managing the tenancy, including the maintenance and rent collection, will then be the responsibility of the Landlord.

Our Fees

We offer a competitive fee structure and can offer reductions on our standard charges for multiple property portfolios. Our standard charges are as follows:

Letting Fee: The equivalent of one month’s rent

Management Commission: 10% of rent collected

Inventory Preparation: £25 per room
