Landlord Process

The first step as a landlord is determining the rental value of your property. Setting the right rent is crucial to attracting tenants and ensuring a good return on investment.

• Free Rental Appraisal: Our expert team offers a free, no-obligation rental valuation of your property. Using our deep knowledge of the local rental market, we assess your property’s potential based on factors like location, property condition, and demand in the area.
• Maximizing Your Return: We don’t just help you set the rent—we also provide tips on small improvements or upgrades that could increase your rental income.

Our in-depth market analysis ensures your property is competitively priced, attracting high-quality tenants while maximizing your rental income.

To attract the best tenants, your property needs to be in great condition. This ensures it rents quickly and meets legal requirements.

• Property Presentation: We offer expert advice on preparing your property for the rental market, from minor repairs to redecorating. A well-presented home attracts better tenants and justifies higher rent.
• Legal Safety Requirements: As your agent, we’ll ensure your property complies with all legal safety requirements, including gas safety certificates, electrical safety checks, energy performance certificates (EPCs) and local authority licences.

Our team can recommend trusted contractors to carry out any necessary work, ensuring your property is ready for the rental market.

Once your property is ready, getting it in front of the right people is crucial. This is where our comprehensive marketing strategy comes into play.

• High-Quality Photography: We use professional photography and virtual tours to showcase your property’s best features, ensuring it stands out in a competitive market.
• Online Listings: Your property will be listed on leading rental platforms like Rightmove, Zoopla, and our website. We use premium listings and targeted ads to reach a wider audience.
• Local Advertising: We also use our local presence and extensive database of pre-qualified tenants to find the right match quickly.

With our proven marketing approach, your property gets maximum exposure, reducing the time it spends on the market and ensuring you get the best tenants.

The key to a successful rental is finding reliable, long-term tenants who respect your property and pay rent on time.

• Tenant Screening: We conduct thorough background checks on all potential tenants, including credit checks, employment verification, and references from previous landlords.
• Viewings: Our experienced team handles all tenant viewings, ensuring your property is showcased professionally and all prospective tenants’ questions are answered.
• Tenant Matching: Using our knowledge of your property and tenant needs, we match you with tenants who fit your criteria, minimizing the risk of rental issues.

Our rigorous vetting process ensures you find trustworthy tenants, giving you peace of mind throughout the tenancy.

Once the right tenant is found, the next step is putting a legally sound tenancy agreement in place.

• Customized Tenancy Agreements: We draft comprehensive, legally binding tenancy agreements that protect your rights as a landlord and meet all legal obligations.
• Legal Compliance: Our agreements are tailored to your property, ensuring all legal aspects—such as the deposit scheme, tenant responsibilities, and landlord obligations—are covered.

With our expertise, you can trust that your tenancy agreement is legally sound and minimizes potential disputes down the line.

Day-to-day management can be the most time-consuming part of being a landlord, but with our property management service, you can leave the hard work to us.

• Rent Collection: We handle all rent collection on your behalf, ensuring payments are made on time and following up on any late payments.
• Maintenance & Repairs If any issues arise during the tenancy, we’ll coordinate repairs and maintenance using our network of trusted contractors, keeping costs low and ensuring work is completed promptly.
• Regular Inspections We conduct periodic property inspections to ensure your property is being well maintained and to address any issues before they become bigger problems.

Our full property management service takes the stress out of being a landlord, leaving you free to focus on other investments or enjoy peace of mind.

As a landlord, there are several legal requirements you must meet to avoid fines or legal action.

• Keeping You Informed: We stay up to date on all changes in rental legislation and ensure your property remains compliant with regulations such as deposit protection, right to rent checks, and safety certificates.
• Legal Support In the rare event of disputes, we provide guidance and support, helping you resolve issues professionally and efficiently, whether it involves tenant disputes or legal notices.

With us, you can be confident that you are meeting all your legal obligations as a landlord.

At the end of a tenancy, you’ll need to decide whether to renew or find new tenants. We help make this process as smooth as possible.

• Renewal Management: If both you and your tenant are happy to continue, we handle all the paperwork involved in renewing the tenancy, reviewing the rent and terms if needed.
• End-of-Tenancy Support If the tenant decides to leave, we manage the end of the tenancy, including conducting a final inspection, managing the deposit return, and preparing the property for the next tenant.

With our renewal and end-of-tenancy services, you’ll experience a seamless transition, minimising void periods and ensuring your property is rented as quickly as possible.
