Letting & Management Services

We provide a comprehensive Letting and Management service, which covers the following:

• In all cases we will collect a deposit from the Tenant to safeguard against damage, which will be protected under the Deposit Guarantee Scheme. At the end of the tenancy we will inspect the property and the costs of any work attributed to the Tenant will be deducted from the deposit. We do advise the Tenant that they cannot assume any outstanding rent due will be deducted from the dilapidations deposit. 
•  All Tenants have to provide the equivalent of one months rent in advance as a deposit (in some cases we may request further deposits as guarantees). Rents are collected calendar monthly (by standing order wherever possible). We will arrange, where appropriate, for a Landlords gas safety certificate to be carried out by a CORGI registered engineer. We will also be happy to arrange, at a competitive rate, for any required EPC to be carried out.
• We prepare comprehensive Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreements. This type of Agreement gives the Landlord the flexibility to re-occupy the premises after the initial term by giving the Tenant two months written notice to quit. Similarly the Tenant may terminate after the initial fixed period by giving one months written notice. We can provide advice to either Landlords or Tenants as to their responsibilities under the agreement.
• A written schedule of condition / inventory is prepared as required at the start of the Tenancy. The property is then inspected on a regular 3 month basis and where necessary we provide the Landlord with details of the state of the exterior or interior fabric of the property (along with any suggested remedial works and estimated costs). By conducting regular inspections we are both able to deal with any defects with the property which may be inconveniencing the Tenant and advise the Landlord at any early stage of any breaches of the Tenancy Agreement by the Tenant. (At Additional Cost)
• Landlords are responsible for all repairs to the property with the exception of breakages and damage caused by the Tenants. Our experienced and established team of reputable contractors can carry out small repairs and (if the costs are payable by the Landlord) their charges are deducted from your account. We will always ask for your instructions before commencing any large scale repairs.
• Detailed monthly statements showing rent received less any costs incurred (including our management charges) are provided.
• Rent is passed on to Landlords as quickly as possible after receipt from the Tenant. Unlike many other Agents, we do not hold onto monies until the end of each month, earning interest on your money whilst in our Account.
• Tenants are reminded in the Tenancy that the rent on the property must at all times come first, but unfortunately Tenants do occasionally get into difficulties due to redundancy, illness or other reasons. We have a procedure of correspondence that is followed after 1 weeks of arrears.
