Services
Full Management Service
Our Full Management Service includes property inspections, issue resolution, and 24-hour tenant maintenance reporting. We handle repairs, tenant communication, and end-of-tenancy processes, ensuring landlords experience stress-free property ownership. This comprehensive package provides ongoing property care and peace of mind for investment protection.
Tenant Referencing
We conduct thorough tenant referencing covering employment verification, credit checks, and Right to Rent compliance. Our process ensures reliable tenant placements through rigorous assessment of applicants' financial stability and residential history. This service protects landlords' investments while maintaining fair tenant screening practices under UK regulations.
Emergency Maintenance
A dedicated 24-hour maintenance reporting system addresses urgent property issues outside office hours. Our responsive system ensures tenants can report critical problems at any time, with prompt resolution prioritisation. This service forms part of our commitment to property safety and tenant satisfaction across managed properties.
Rent Guarantee Insurance
Available across all management packages, our Rent Guarantee Insurance protects landlords against rental income loss due to tenant default. This optional coverage provides financial security while maintaining flexibility in property management arrangements. Policies can be tailored to individual property requirements within our service framework.
Deposit Protection
We manage deposit registration through The Deposit Protection Scheme, ensuring legal compliance for all tenancies. Our service includes deposit collection, secure storage, and fair deduction processing at tenancy end. This transparent system safeguards both landlord and tenant interests while maintaining regulatory adherence.

We have used Turner Scott to look after a property in the Windermere area for 7 years and have found them to be extremely good - they have been very quick to deal with anything that has come up, they have found good tenants for us, kept an eye on everything and this has given us great peace of mind. Thank you to everyone at Turner Scott!

I highly recommend Turner Scott Agents in Kendal. As a tenant, the renting process is usually very stressful, but with Turner Scott (and especially with Thao) the process was very smooth and they took care of everything from the viewing to the handing of the keys. Very happy with them.

I have just started to rent a property out in Kendal. From initial contact, Beth, Michelle and Julie have all been very helpful. I have been kept informed from start to finish and the documentation is very comprehensive. I would have no hesitation in recommending Turner Scott to landlords or tenants. Thank you
