We offer a range of services depending on how much or how little you would like to be involved.
If you are considering letting your property for the first time or you're an experienced HMO landlord, we're confident we can give you some good advice. From dressing and layout to tenant types and rent assessment, or negotiating the new licensing regulations, we believe we can add some value. We can also provide a quick assessment on the return on set up and conversion costs and make introductions to contractors.
If you prefer to manage your own properties but would appreciate some help finding, screening, selecting and checking in new tenants, why not try us out? If you're away on business or on holiday with the family, we can cover for you so you don't leave rooms empty when you're not around.
Our specialist in-house lettings team carry out our viewings at times to suit tenants. They have years of experience spotting good (and bad) tenants and we don't leave such an important decision to Saturday staff like many agencies!
We ensure all tenancy agreements are up to date so you don't fall foul of revised regulations. It is important the right documents are presented to tenants to comply with current regulations.
We manage the whole process introducing tenants to the specific quirks of the house and their house mates as well as setting ground rules for living in harmony with others.
In addition to using a comprehensive third-party referencing system that checks employer and landlord references, we always meet our tenants face-to-face to find out more about them and to ensure we get the right group dynamic in the house.
We take care of the financial side of taking on a new tenant. We'll take the initial rent and deposit and facilitate the set up of monthly rent payments. We can lodge the deposit for you in your chosen protected deposit scheme. You will receive the payments we have collected due to you within a week of us receiving them.
We will provide a standard photographic tenant inventory at no extra charge ensuring you have an accurate record of the condition of the property at the time of tenant check in.
We'll advertise your property on the most-important websites, as well as put boards up outside. We make sure we respond quickly and promptly to enquiries to make sure the best possible tenants get to view your property. Please also speak to us about our professional quality photography, video walk through and room dressing service for that extra 'wow' on adverts.
All landlord and tenant funds are protected with the Client Money Protection Scheme (CMP) through our membership of the UK Association of Letting Agents (UKALA).
Managing room-by-room lets can be hard work and if you prefer us to manage everything for you, our full management package is probably for you. It includes everything in the tenant find service plus..
We handle day-to-day tenant enquiries day and night so you can relax knowing your phone won't keep ringing at unsociable hours and you can get on with enjoying your life.

Contact us for further information.
Rest in the knowledge that your rental income is protected should a tenant stop paying.
Our insurance partner will manage the legal process of eviction if a tenant stops paying or breaks their tenancy agreement.

Often it makes better financial sense to let a property to a family, couple or single person. We manage a number of single-let properties and we've proven that when you can deliver great results and service managing multiple people sharing the same house, you can do exactly same letting to family.
