THE BEST TENANTS
We see our tenants as an extension of our company, so we only select the very best! Ultimately, if we wouldn't place them in our home, we won't place them in yours. Upon application we use a stringent referencing process, performing a credit history check, landlord reference, income and work references and right to rent check. This protects you as a landlord and informs you of their full background before move in.

Landlords FAQ's
How much will it cost me to let my property?
In order to rent your property there are a number of legal compliance documents that you require, but we can arrange all of these for you to ensure you are compliant.
Our costs
You do not pay our fees upfront, when we collect the rent our charges are taken and the balance is forwarded on to you thereafter. This is charged as a percentage of the agreed rental price + VAT at the prevailing rate.
Who will conduct viewings on my property and when will they occur?
We will accompany all viewings, we try to accommodate as many viewings as possible, so viewings can take place at any time of the day. Therefore, the easiest thing is for us to hold a key to the property.
Do I need to be present for viewings?
No, you do not, we conduct all the viewings, and it is worth noting that tenants often feel more relaxed when the owner is not present.
How much is the tenant's deposit and what happens to it?
The deposits are now capped by the Government at 5 weeks rent and is payable upon the signing of the Tenancy Agreement. The deposit then must be registered with a tenancy deposit protection scheme.
What does the new deposit scheme involve and how does it protect me?
All deposits being paid by a tenant for an Assured Shorthold Tenancy are registered with a recognised deposit protection scheme guaranteeing that any deposit disputes will be dealt with efficiently by an independent adjudicator if require.
How much does an inventory cost and who is responsible for organising this?
Prices vary depending on the size of your property, but we can organise an inventory on your behalf.
How long does it take to receive my rent once paid by the tenant?
You should receive your rent within one day of the rental due date each month.
