How to let your property?

Here’s some useful pointers to help guide you on your journey of a landlord.

Becoming a landlord

Unless you already have a portfolio of properties, becoming a landlord for the first time can be slightly daunting. With more than 10 years of experience, we know exactly how the process works and what to expect, and know that we can avoid most problems occurring by having precautionary procedures in place.

Choosing a management type

Decide whether you want to go for full property management, a tenant find-only service, or choose from a mixture of both. The flexibility is there for you to select the one that works best for you. If you want to manage your property yourself, be sure that you understand all your paperwork!

Referencing applicants

We obtain a copy of ID from applicants and proof of earnings, not to mention a full array of background financial checks for everyone’s peace of mind. These include credit checks and references from employers and/or their current landlord if applicable. Right to rent checks are undertaken, as well as due diligence on any guarantors. Once the tenant referencing is complete, its time to create the relevant paperwork and move onto the next stage.

Finding the right agent

We aim to find a true rental valuation on your property in the shortest period of time. Going with an letting agent who gives you the highest valuation often isn’t the best choice in the long run. Pick the one you feel good about and are fully confident that you can trust.

Carrying out viewings for you with an experienced agent

Unlike some agents who will ask you to carry out the viewings with prospective tenants, our agents have full knowledge of your property and are on hand to show people around at convenient times. However, if you’d prefer to carry out the viewings yourself, that’s absolutely fine with us, although we do recommend that these are conducted by experienced property market professionals.

Your opinion matters to us

We do have a sole agency agreement, and if you are not happy with our service after 16 weeks with us, please let us know why and how you think we can improve our service.

If we cannot resolve the issues at hand, then you are able to leave us with no cost incurred whatsoever.
