You are in safe hands.
Transparency
We are so confident in the prompt and effective service we provide that there are no tie in periods with our contracts.
Photography
First impressions are everything, so we use experienced photographers to achieve the best possible shots of your home.
Comprehensive property marketing
We will market your property on property portals including Zoopla, PrimeLocation and our own website. We also make full use of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and local PR through our network of contacts.
Dedicated agent
You will have a dedicated agent assigned to you and your property who you can contact directly.
Hours that fit around you
It is not easy to take time out of the working day for viewings or meeting an agent, so we are happy to come to you at a convenient time and place.
Hand picked tenants
We listen carefully to what you want and present the most suitable tenants. If you wish to meet a prospective tenant, we will organise the meeting and accompany them.
Professional tenant referencing
We are renowned for our careful selection and thorough referencing of all potential tenants. Working with leading referencing agencies RentShield Direct and Creditsafe, we carry out credit checks and request financial and character references when required. Our tenancy default ratio is significantly lower than industry averages.
Always here for you
We remain available even after tenants move in, whether or not we manage the property.
The tenancy agreement
We will agree terms with you before preparing a legal agreement. In most cases this will be an Assured Shorthold Tenancy for an initial period of 12 months. If possession is required, notice must be served at least two months before expiry. We can prepare and serve notices and manage renewals if required.

Collection of rent
Rent is collected monthly by a single standing order and transferred to you via BACS.

Key holding service
A full set of keys, access codes and fobs will be securely held by our office.
Repairs and maintenance
We use trusted contractors providing quality workmanship at competitive prices.
24 hour call out service
Where emergency access is required, tenants will be given 24 hours notice.
Property inspections
We carry out regular inspections with photographic reports and recommendations.
Check out service
We conduct tenant check out at no cost, provided a full inventory exists.
