LETS MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU

Letting only Service

We show prospective tenants round the property. Prepare particulars of the property for immediate circulation to our waiting and vetted applicants and where necessary advertise in local newspapers and on the Internet. Where not already vetted we will apply for and obtain personal and financial references in connection with each applicant party to the Tenancy agreement and Guarantor where applicable. Put in order all necessary Tenancy Agreements and relevant notices and organize the signing of the same. Organize the preparation of an Inventory of fixtures and fittings, if required (this is subject to additional charges). Although Landlords may be able to compile Inventories, we would recommend the services of an independent professional be utilised to avoid possible future disputes. The cost of our inventory is not included in our charges and should this be under taken we require payment of £100.00. Note on inventory if you are renting out an expensive property containing valuable antiques and paintings, a professional inventory is a must. Collect one month’s rent in advance, collect agreed deposit and hold deposit (usually the equivalent of the advance), in respect of dilapidations and non-performance of the Tenant’s obligations
