Full Management
Our comprehensive property management service includes marketing, tenant vetting, inventory preparation, periodic inspections, and rent collection. We handle maintenance requests and legal compliance requirements while providing monthly financial statements. Landlords benefit from direct rental transfers and dedicated support throughout the tenancy lifecycle.
Letting Only
This service focuses on property marketing, viewings, and tenant vetting. We prepare tenancy agreements and collect initial payments before handing management responsibilities to landlords. Ideal for local property owners comfortable handling day-to-day tenant interactions and maintenance issues directly.
Gas Safety Certificates
We arrange annual gas safety checks through Gas Safe registered engineers. This includes appliance inspections, certificate issuance, and record-keeping to meet legal requirements for rented properties. Certificates are provided to tenants before tenancy commencement as mandated by regulations.
Tenant Vetting
Our thorough tenant vetting process includes credit checks, employment verification, previous landlord references, and right-to-rent documentation. We may require guarantors for higher-risk applicants to ensure tenancy security and protect landlords' investments.
Deposit Protection
We administer tenancy deposits according to government regulations, using approved protection schemes. This includes deposit registration, dispute resolution preparation, and prescribed information provision to tenants within statutory deadlines.

Report
Donna was very helpfull and polite, I had no issues while I rented from them. I only moved because of my job. Other big name companies not so professional. I even drove to a viewing from London, only to be told after waiting 20 min past viewing time that the property is let and I could hear laughing in the background.

If you need a professional management company that is fair and cares you should look no further. All of my properties are managed by Donna of Batchelor Pads and I have not had any problems.
