Services
Tenant Find Only
Our Tenant Find Only service provides comprehensive marketing appraisal, professional property photography, and tenant vetting. We manage viewings, complete tenant referencing, and prepare inventory reports. This service includes setting up government-approved security deposits and handling initial rent collection, ensuring landlords find suitable tenants while maintaining legal compliance throughout the process.
Fully Let & Managed
This comprehensive service includes all Tenant Find benefits plus ongoing property management. We collect rent, handle arrears correspondence, conduct regular inspections, and provide financial statements. Our service covers maintenance coordination, lease renewals, and end-of-tenancy management. With competitive fees based on property portfolios, we offer tailored support that adapts to landlords' specific requirements while maintaining strict legal compliance and property standards.
Security Deposit Management
We manage security deposits through MyDeposits, a government-backed protection scheme. Deposits equal to five weeks' rent are registered and protected throughout the tenancy. This service includes formal sign-off processes at move-in and move-out, dispute resolution support, and transparent handling procedures. Our system ensures both landlord and tenant interests are protected while maintaining full compliance with current deposit protection legislation.
Property Inspections
Regular property inspections ensure ongoing maintenance and compliance. Our service includes scheduled visits to assess property condition, identify maintenance needs, and verify tenant care. We provide detailed reports to landlords while maintaining open communication with tenants. This proactive approach helps prevent issues from escalating, preserves property value, and ensures both parties adhere to their responsibilities throughout the tenancy period.
Tenant Referencing
Our thorough tenant referencing process includes credit checks, employment verification, and previous landlord references. We assess affordability, rental history, and suitability to ensure responsible tenancies. The process includes guarantor checks where required, helping landlords mitigate risks while matching properties with appropriate tenants. This service forms a crucial part of our commitment to creating successful, long-term landlord-tenant relationships through careful selection processes.
