If you would like an independent appraisal of your properties potential rental income. Rents received are payable by the tenant monthly to our client account. You will be paid direct from this account and we will prepare, at regular intervals, a clear income and expenditure account which you can send to the Inland Revenue.

We can undertake all negotiations with your Building Society in order to obtain their permission to let the property. Some lenders might charge higher interest rates to let properties.

We will collect a deposit from the tenant to safeguard against damage and will take on the responsibility of protecting the deposit via a government approved Tenancy Deposit Protection scheme. At the end of the tenancy we will inspect the property and the costs of any work attributed to the tenant will be deducted from the deposit. Any disputes will be referred to the dispute resolution service of the Tenancy Deposit Protection scheme used.

We will find a suitable tenant for your property and take up essential references and credit checks.

We will prepare an easy to read legal agreement which complies with current legislation. In general this will be for a period of not less than 6 months and then renewable on a month to month basis. This gives you, the landlord, the flexibility to re-occupy or re-let the house after giving the tenant two month`s notice to quit. Similarly the tenant may terminate after the initial period by giving at least one month`s notice.

The payment of water rates, council tax, gas, electricity and telephone bills are generally the responsibility of the tenants.

Although we can help you with repairs, it is your responsibility to ensure the property is in good condition, with the exception of window glass or other breakages caused by the tenants. Repairs can be carried out by contractors nominated by you, or our own contractors with their charges deducted from your account. We will always ask for instructions before commencing any large scale repairs.
