Landlords Guide

Finding the tenant

Our agency will endeavour to find you a tenant suitable for your property.

Marketing your property

Our agency will market your property in order to find the best tenant and achieve the best level of rental income. We will pass onto you all offers received with some advice regarding the suitability of the tenant.

Once the tenant is found

Our agency will ask the prospective tenant for a reference from his/her current landlord or employer. A guarantor may be requested or an advance on rental payments, if this is not possible as the tenant is a British or foreign student.

Commencing the tenancy

Once a suitable tenant has been found it is our responsibility to ensure that all the relevant paperwork is completed and all initial monies are collected, before the keys are handed over.
