Letting your property
Whether you’re new to letting or an experienced landlord, we work with you to plan the best strategy for your property or portfolio, informed by over 20 years of experience renting properties in your local area.
Flexible services
From finding you find the right tenant, to making sure your property is well looked after and rent is paid on time, we can support you at every stage of the process. We work hard to help you get the best from your investment, leaving you with more time to enjoy the fun things in life.
Honest advice
Marketing your property at the right price is essential, so we'll give you straightforward, honest advice about what rent you can expect to achieve. We’ll also advise you on your legal obligations as a landlord and how best to prepare your property for renting.
Connected team
Our proactive agents make sure your property is seen by our large network of qualified tenants. All four of our offices work together to create maximum interest in your property and secure you the best rent, which can often be higher than you expect.
Right match
All tenants are fully referenced and carefully matched to your property. We also encourage you to meet them. The right match means most of our tenancies are renewed at the end of the term, void periods are kept low and your property keeps generating you income.
Effective marketing
Comprehensive marketing is essential for attracting potential tenants and ultimately getting you the best possible rental income for your property. We target the right tenants across the most effective channels and always use high quality photos to show your property at its best.
Nearly all property searches begin online, so we list your property on all the current portals so it reaches the widest audience possible.
Our services and fees
We offer a range of services to suit your needs as a landlord. Choose our standard Letting service and we’ll find you the right tenant and take care of the tenancy paperwork. Upgrade to our Premium Letting service for additional support throughout the tenancy and add on our dedicated Management service for full property management support.
