This is the most basic type of service, where we’ll search for and sign up the right tenants for your property. We will:
Prepare details of your property and advertise it to the maximum number of tenants using the most appropriate methods for your property type.
- Get the relevant personal and financial references for each tenant.
- Prepare and coordinate the signing of tenancy agreements.
- Advise the tenant about registering with utility companies and other services.
- Collect a deposit or bond, plus one month’s rent in advance.
- Prepare an inventory of fixtures and fittings, if required (subject to additional charges).
- Put up ‘To Let’ and ‘Let By’ marketing boards at the property at the appropriate times.
What if I have problem tenants?
As we believe in helping with every aspect of property management, we are one of the few agents that will give you 100% help with problem tenants. We will prepare the appropriate court papers and notices to recover possession of the property, and will also attend court where necessary.
Of course, we hope it won’t come to this, which is why we make sure all prospective tenants are thoroughly vetted through a referencing agency before they sign their tenancy agreements.
We will also make sure that you are protected by following the legal and safety requirements for rental properties. Before a tenant moves in, we will arrange for a gas safety certificate and a portable electrical appliance safety test to be carried out. We will also complete a detailed inventory of the property with photos.
