Lettings Guide
As a landlord, you want your property investment to work for you but with as little stress as possible and even less hassle. Whether you have a portfolio of many properties or starting with just one, we treat all our lettings properties with the same expertise and consideration.
We start by visiting your property to conduct a free valuation. We consider things like location, size, facilities and condition to determine the expected price we will achieve when your property hits the market.
We prepare property particulars, including internal and external photographs.
We erect a 'To Let' board outside the property and begin circulating your property to suitable prospective tenants already registered on our database. We also list your property on all the major web portals, along with showcasing your property within our centrally located modern offices.
We will always escort any potential tenants around your property at a time convenient for everyone. You will be kept informed of any feedback from these appointments.
After negotiations with the landlord we will carry out comprehensive referencing using a third party company specialising in this field. Included within this procedure are full financial and employment referencing, a credit check that will establish whether applicant has any county court judgements, bankruptcies or adverse credit history, ID checks and a right to rent check.
Once a satisfactory report has been received, we are then able to arrange rent guarantee and legal warranty.
We will collect the move-in monies, including a security deposit that will be registered in a government-recognised scheme.
We will then prepare an assured shorthold tenancy agreement for an initial term of 6 or 12 months depending on which suits your requirements the best.
Lastly an inventory and schedule of condition report will be completed to protect your interest.
