Any additional advertising is at the request and expense of the landlord.

We endeavour to meet all prospective tenants to ascertain their suitability and of course, accompany all viewings of vacant properties.

Having found potentially suitable tenants we will obtain references from all applicable sources. These would include the following.

Our Full Management service offers Landlords all the benefits of the Let only service and Premium Rent Collection service as well as peace of mind that your property is being looked after on a regular basis, should you choose not to become involved in time consuming issues, or because it is impractical for you to do so.

Should there be any general maintenance required at the property or problems with the property needing urgent attention, we will arrange to obtain estimates and supervise any repairs and ensure that they are dealt with as quickly and professionally as possible. The payment of any accounts in respect of works carried out is subject to the landlord’s account being in credit.

We carry out routine visits of your property and advise you accordingly of our findings.

This inspection is purely to check on the general condition of the property and ensure the tenancy is being conducted in a correct manner. Obvious defects would be noted but if any further or more detailed inspections be required by us or any other qualified body, it would be by special arrangement and subject to an additional fee. We will also conduct a full and concise checkout at the end of the tenancy to ensure that the property is clean and in a good state of repair for the next tenant.
