Fully Managed Letting Service
Our fully managed service is an ideal choice for landlords who are new to property lettings or would prefer an experienced letting agent to handle the lettings. With a fully managed letting service, the landlord can benefit from a wide variety of services, including not needing to deal with emergency calls, having rent effectively collected on your behalf, handling legalities are taken care of, you’ll have a vetted list of potential tenants, and it offers greater peace of mind.
Our Fully Managed Service includes:
- We visit you at your property and provide a rental valuation and any other advice that you may require about letting your property.

- Accompanied viewings including evenings and Saturdays.
- Fully comprehensive tenant referencing service conducted by an approved credit reference agency.
- We will negotiate any specific tenant requests (if any) and advise you how best to proceed.
- We prepare an inventory and schedule of condition of your property which the tenant will be required to check, sign and return to our offices
- We will prepare a suitable Tenancy Agreement, relevant statutory forms and necessary paperwork.
- We will notify the relevant utility companies, gas, electric, water and council tax of the tenants occupation and where necessary provide meter readings.

- Upon your request we are able to contact your tenants to arrange periodic inspections.
- At the end of the Tenancy we will check through the inventory to make sure that everything is in order and if appropriate prepare a list of dilapidations. With the consent of both the Landlord and the Tenant we are able to make the necessary deduction from a tenants’ deposit to cover any dilapidations caused, rent arrears or any shortfall in domestic cleaning.
