Services

Property Letting

We market properties to attract quality tenants through targeted advertising and viewings. Our process includes tenant vetting, credit checks, and preparation of tenancy agreements. Landlords benefit from competitive fee structures and tailored service packages, whether opting for full management or letting-only solutions.

Property Management

Our full management service covers rent collection, maintenance coordination, and periodic property inspections. We handle tenant communications and ensure compliance with safety regulations, including gas certifications and electrical checks. Regular financial updates provide landlords with transparency and peace of mind.

Tenant Vetting

Prospective tenants undergo rigorous referencing, including credit history, employment verification, and previous landlord references. We require proof of ID and income, with guarantors needed if applicants earn less than 2.5 times the monthly rent. This ensures reliable tenancies and minimises risk for property owners.

Rent Collection

Rent is collected monthly in advance via standing order or direct debit. We manage payment schedules and provide automatic transfers to landlords' accounts. Our system tracks balances and ensures timely payments, with clear documentation for both parties throughout the tenancy period.

Maintenance Coordination

We arrange prompt maintenance and repairs for managed properties, prioritising safety and compliance. Our team assesses issues, obtains landlord approval for costs, and coordinates trusted contractors. Regular inspections help identify potential problems before they escalate, maintaining property value and tenant satisfaction.

We called Gold Key for information and advice when we were considering either to sell or let our property. Russell came to see us with lots of leaflets and written information that he left with us to help us make a decision. He was very helpful and followed up after the appointment with an email containing further information. A very helpful and friendly service and I would definately recommend them.

Really pleased with Gold Key! Special shout out to Michael who has been incredible over the last 18 months. Always responds promptly to questions or problems. Anything that needed fixing was dealt with promptly and professionally, unlike other agents I have dealt with in the past.
Id recommend Gold Key to anyone looking to rent in Sheffield, Im only sad that Ive moved out of the area and cant rent with them anymore!

Jayne is absolutely lovely, always very nice. She is always at hand and can always get in touch with her easily, as our main point of contact she had made renting very easy!! Russel is also very nice, we had a issue with our sink and sorted it straight away. All staff are lovely. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a brilliant agency to let though :-)

Very good experience letting from them. First of all, we liked the neighbourhood and the property. It is always easy to get in touch with the staff and they will be ready for you to solve any queries or problems that you might have.
Theyll solve any problem that you may have without long and painful dispute times. So, very recommendable company to let with.
