Whether you are a first-time landlord or an experienced investor, our comprehensive lettings service will help you successfully market and manage your rental property.
Step 1: Get a Rental Valuation
Before you list your property, you need to know what rent you can achieve. Our local experts will visit your property and provide you with a realistic rental valuation based on current market conditions. Contact us today to arrange a free, no-obligation valuation.
Step 2: Prepare Your Property
First impressions count. Before marketing your property, ensure it is clean, tidy and in a good state of repair. Consider having it professionally cleaned and dealing with any minor maintenance issues. We can provide guidance on what tenants are looking for in your area.
Step 3: Legal Requirements
As a landlord, you are required by law to obtain certain certificates before your property can be let. These include a Gas Safety Certificate (annual), an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR, every 5 years), and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC, valid for 10 years). We can arrange all of these on your behalf.
Step 4: Marketing Your Property
We will market your property on all major property portals including Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket. Professional photography and detailed descriptions ensure your property stands out from the crowd.
Step 5: Viewings and Referencing
We conduct all accompanied viewings and will provide you with regular feedback. Once a suitable tenant is found, we carry out comprehensive reference and credit checks. We only recommend tenants who meet our strict referencing criteria.
Step 6: Tenancy Agreement and Move-In
Once referencing is completed, we prepare the tenancy agreement and arrange collection of the first month's rent and security deposit. We conduct a thorough check-in inventory and ensure your tenant is settled into their new home.
