Services
Tenant Find
This service helps landlords find suitable tenants through comprehensive referencing. We conduct credit checks, employer references, and property viewings while preparing all necessary documentation. Our rigorous selection process ensures quality tenants who meet affordability criteria, with guaranteed deposit protection through The Deposit Protection Service.
Rent Collection
Our rent collection service handles monthly payments and tenant communications. We provide same-day fund transfers, electronic statements, and tax return assistance while maintaining regular property inspections. Landlords retain responsibility for maintenance but benefit from our systematic payment tracking and arrears management procedures.
Fully Managed
This comprehensive service covers all aspects of property management. From tenant acquisition and rent collection to maintenance coordination and legal compliance, we handle every detail. Our service includes regular inspections, emergency repairs, and end-of-tenancy deposit resolution, providing complete peace of mind for property owners.
