Finding your perfect Tenant
We will arrange and conduct viewings for pre-qualified applicants, typically as the market is so buoyant we arrange an initial “block viewing” where we show around six prospective Tenants the property, all applicants will have the opportunity to apply to rent the property and then you decide which Tenant is most suited to your property.
Referencing
We use a market leading professional referencing company who meticulously check the Tenants income, credit history and address history. Once all prospective Tenants have passed these checks we will draw up a tenancy agreement to be signed electronically.
Moving in
An independent inventory will be created, documenting the property’s condition and cleanliness. Once the tenancy agreement is signed and the first month’s rent and deposit are paid, then the tenancy begins.
Ongoing Support
If we manage your property, a dedicated property manager will be your point of contact for any maintenance issues or queries, regular property inspections will be carried out with a report including photographs being completed. Our Landlord app makes checking in on your property easy with all important information available at your fingertips.
For landlord-managed properties, you’ll receive the Tenant’s contact details and be their only point of contact for the rest of their tenancy.
