Lettings Management

Making life easier for you

Letting a single property or running a property portfolio can be time consuming and stressful if you’re taking care of everything yourself.

We handle every aspect of the letting process, from finding suitable tenants to maintaining your property to a high standard and making sure it complies with current legislation.

If you are a developer, you may want to let your unsold properties, which is easy with our support. Simply let us know which properties you would like to rent out at your completed, empty or part-empty developments, and we’ll quickly find suitable tenants for you.

Managing your property portfolio

We provide all of our clients with a dedicated Property Manager, who is responsible for all matters relating to their property portfolio. This includes general health and safety, Energy Performance Certificates and gas and electrical safety.

• Maximising your returns. We monitor the market to identify the best opportunities and help you generate the best possible return on investment.
• Safeguarding your property rental profits. We run a rent protection and legal expenses warranty scheme, which is a cost effective way to guarantee any loss of rent for up to five months. It also covers any legal costs incurred.
• Protecting your cash flow. Many businesses with property portfolios depend on their rental income to sustain their cashflow. Our rent protection and legal expenses warranty scheme is designed to provide you with financial peace of mind.
• Reporting the figures. Your Property Manager will regularly provide you with accurate and detailed financial performance reports, as standard.
• Managing the administration. We take care of most of the paperwork for you, so that you can concentrate on growing your property portfolio.
• Maintaining high standards. We have developed strong relationships with reputable local maintenance companies and can guarantee work is carried out efficiently and to the highest standard.
• Keeping your costs down. Our services represent excellent value for money and we offer discounts if you own more than one property.
• Managing communal areas. We also manage communal spaces, which means all aspects of your property, not just the building itself, are being fully taken care of.
