Landlord Services

Professional Property Management

Our priority and most important consideration is providing you the landlord with the best possible service and the right tenant for your property in the shortest timeframe.  

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

Why choose us?

Personal Service

Because we are a small firm, we are able to 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 highly competitive and may be open to negotiation dependent on the level of service required. We are particularly committed to investment landlords and no portfolio is too small

Careful Tenant Selection

We advertise widely and hold a continually updated tenant database. Once a suitable tenant is found, all prospective occupiers are thoroughly referenced and credit checked.

Optimise your portfolio

If you need assistance in building your investments, we are often aware of opportunities in upcoming trends in property values, and can assist to ensure that your overall yield is maximised. 

Due to very high demand for good properties, it’s often possible to pick the best tenants, resulting in secure tenancies, and long term capital growth.

Accurate property condition reports

Our inventory and property inspection recording system is fully digital, providing detailed evidence of the condition of the property at the start and end of a tenancy.

This provides the reassurance that your asset will be maintained in good condition and any deductions from tenancy deposit, even if disputed, are fair and fully evidenced.

Frequently Asked Questions - Landlords

We advertise widely and hold a continually updated tenant database, therefore unlike many local letting agents, we are able to find and reference tenants in the shortest possible time.  We maintain comprehensive referencing services, along with efficient contractual processing, thus reducing any potential for a void period in your property.

Your property can be let fully furnished, part furnished or unfurnished. Which of these is appropriate will depend on the type of property and local market conditions. We will be pleased to give you advice on whether to furnish or not and to what level.

Yes would be glad to assist.  We can help you to build your investment portfolio by highlighting areas which are forecast to experience the most profitable increases in capital growth vs rental value, thereby maximising your rental yield.

If your property is mortgaged with a mortgage that is not specifically designed for rentals, you should obtain your mortgagee’s written consent to the letting.  They may require additional clauses in the tenancy agreement of which you must inform us.
