Our Services
Letting Only
Our not so basic basic service! We provide everything necessary to set up the tenancy on your behalf, including marketing and tenant-find, referencing, preparation of the tenancy agreement and inventory. At the end of the tenancy, we also carry out a final inventory check. Issuing a Notice Requiring Possession is included in this service, when requested.
Letting and Rent Collection
An intermediate level, which provides all of the above, plus regular monthly rent collection, including monthly statements and the pursuit of any late payments.
Full Management
We appreciate that many landlords prefer not to deal directly with their tenants – which is why we offer this fully comprehensive service, dealing with all routine matters on your behalf, continuing to act as your agent and intermediary throughout the life of the tenancy.
So, in addition to the service outlined above, we also deal with routine maintenance issues and arrange repairs, paying service charges, insurances and other outgoings from rent received. In addition, we handle all tenant queries and regularly inspect the premises at approximately four monthly intervals, providing you with a written report on the condition, and any works considered necessary to maintain your investment. We also continually monitor changes in legislation and keep you informed of any issues that affect your position as a landlord.
Advice for landlords
This guide is intended to provide a broad outline of the legal rights and responsibilities of both landlord and tenant, together with an overview of current legislation applicable to the private sector rental market. However, this is not a comprehensive guide. If you need further advice on any issue – we’re here to help!
