Services
Property Letting
We specialise in marketing and letting student and professional accommodation across Canterbury. Our properties are strategically located near universities, amenities, and the city centre. With over a decade of experience, we ensure landlords achieve optimal returns while tenants find quality homes.
Tenant Referencing
Our referencing process includes employment verification, credit checks, and guarantor assessments to ensure reliable tenant placements. We use accredited agencies to validate financial stability and rental history, providing landlords with confidence in tenant suitability.
Inventory Services
We prepare detailed inventories documenting property condition and contents at tenancy start and end. These reports protect both landlords and tenants by establishing fair wear and tear benchmarks, ensuring transparent deposit returns.
Property Management
Our management services include rent collection, quarterly inspections, and emergency repair coordination. We handle maintenance requests promptly, with service plans guaranteeing swift responses to heating, plumbing, and appliance issues.
Landlord Support
We offer full management packages covering tax compliance, legal documentation, and tenant dispute resolution. Landlords receive regular updates, with proactive vacancy management ensuring minimal income disruption between tenancies.
Questions
How do I apply for a rental property?
Register online, by phone, or in person with your budget, move-in date, and property preferences. We'll match you with suitable listings and arrange viewings.
What fees are involved for tenants?
A £500 holding deposit reserves the property, plus a £50+VAT administration fee for referencing. Deposits are deducted from first month's rent.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency repairs?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency repair services for urgent issues like heating failures or plumbing leaks.
How are rent payments processed?
Rent is paid via standing order to the landlord's account, unless we manage the property, in which case payments go to us.
What happens if I need to end my tenancy early?
You must give one month's written notice. Early termination may result in financial liability depending on your tenancy agreement terms.
