Step 2 Choosing an agent
When choosing an agent consider when they will be available to conduct viewings and what kind of marketing your property will receive. These are critical to obtaining the maximum price for your property.
Step 3 Maximum exposure
Our specialist lettings professionals will, in just one visit, collate all marketing elements and have your property live on our website within days, alongside local information, location maps, aerial views and a printable colour brochure.
Step 4 Safety regulations
As a landlord, you have an obligation to ensure that your property complies with all the necessary regulations covering the safety of gas appliances, electrical installations and any furnishings supplied for the tenancy.
We can advise you on this and arrange the necessary inspections.
Step 5 Viewings
We carry out all viewings of the property on your behalf and strive to be as flexible as our clients require in order to achieve a successful letting of your property.
Step 6 The right tenant
Once a suitable tenant has been found, we will apply for references on your behalf. If the tenant proves to be acceptable, we then proceed to the next stage.
Step 7 Property Management
Many tenants prefer to rent managed properties as this gives them the guarantee that our priorities are to look after both them and your property.
After finding you a tenant, we take care of both them and you throughout the tenancy, including everything from collecting rent and handling all administration to assistance with more complex issues and the provision of a 24-hour emergency helpline.
Step 8 Rental paperwork
Tenancy agreement
To achieve a smooth running tenancy it is essential to have a
professional agreement in place. We will draw up the relevant
paperwork based upon current legislation, ensuring all the
necessary documents are signed by both parties.
Inventory
An inventory of the contents and condition of the property is
usually produced prior to commencement of the tenancy. This
will be supplied to both landlord and tenant.
Step 9 Rent and deposit
We will collect the rent on your behalf and a deposit from the tenant will be held.
We will all deposits as a stakeholder and, where applicable, will register the deposit with a deposit protection scheme, in accordance with recent legislation.
Step 10 Completion
Unless your property is let on a short let basis, you need to ensure letters are sent out transferring the utilities into the name of your tenant and keys are handed over.
