What We Will Do: 

Market Your Home

We will actively and vigorously promote your property for the whole period that it is on the market. We aim to reach the widest possible audience and use the following marketing media:

Web Site:  we will place your property details in the ‘For Rent’ section of this website. Full information on each property is available on the web site. This allows prospective tenants who have seen your property through our other advertising media to have immediate access to the full property details.

Rightmove: we will place your property on Rightmove, the UK's most popular web site for renting residential properties.

Local Papers:  we will advertise your property in at least one of the local papers. We aim to advertise your property every week although there may be circumstances where this is not possible.

‘To Let’ Boards:  with your permission we will erect a 'To Let' board, these are a very effective way of promoting your property.

Waiting List:  We have a list of prospective tenants, and any tenant on that list requiring a property similar to your property will be promptly contacted to determine their interest.

Obtain References

Once a tenant has asked to rent your home, we will ask you to reserve the property for them. We will then require the tenant to complete an application form and charge then the reference application fee.  Should you wish to interview the tenant we ask that you make us aware of this requirement when placing the property for rent with us and that the interview takes places before we charge them the reference application fee. Every tenant will be required to provide proof of identity and will be required to pass our vigorous referencing criteria.

Check Tenants IN and Check Out

Deposit: We will collect and hold on your behalf a deposit equal to one months rent. At the end of the tenancy this gives you protect against any damage to the property.

Inventory and Inspection (with photographs): At the commencement of a tenancy, we will make an inspection and draw up a report detailing the condition of the property that will include an inventory of the property's contents. The tenant will at 'Check In' be asked to check and sign this report. It will also include meter readings for the utilities. At the end of the tenancy we will repeat this process.

Make Further Inspections

We will make one inspection after three months and at least two inspections per year thereafter. Any cause for concern will be reported.

Collect Rents

We will collect rents on your behalf. Rent will then be paid in to your account minus any deductions due to us. If the rent has not been received within 5 working days of the due date we will actively pursue payment on your behalf.

Arrange Tenancy Agreements

We have a standard tenancy agreement, which complies with the recently introduced ‘Unfair Terms Act’.  Our agency agreement is for an initial period of 6 months and then continues on a monthly periodic basis.

Manage Repairs

As your agent we will arrange and manage any repairs that become necessary during the tenancy. The cost of this management service is included in our standard fees (unless you have opted for our 'Partial Management Service'). The actual cost of repairs is however your responsibility and wherever possible will be deducted from the next rent payment. Except in emergency where it is necessary to act immediately in order to protect the property we will check with you before committing to any expenditure. For this reason we will normally hold on your behalf a repair deposit of £250.

Inform Utility Companies

We inform the relevant utility companies of the change of occupier at the start of each tenancy although telecom companies will not take instruction from us.

Other Information 

Gas and Electrical Safety Certificates

Safety certificates must be available before commencement of the tenancy. If required we can arrange for these to be obtained. We will manage the renewal of these certificates as they become due.

Insurances

It will be necessary to make sure that your existing insurances provide for the renting of the property and include appropriate public liability.

Informing Your Mortgage Company

Most mortgage companies require that permission is obtained to rent out the property, although such permission is rarely a problem.

It is your responsibility to pay any tax which may be due on your rental income.
