Services
Property Management
Our comprehensive property management service handles all aspects of tenancy administration, including rent collection, maintenance coordination, and periodic property inspections. We prepare detailed inventories, manage security deposits, and ensure compliance with legal requirements throughout the tenancy. With regular communication between landlords and tenants, we maintain properties to high standards while protecting owners' investments through rigorous compliance checks and safety certifications.
Tenant Referencing
We conduct thorough tenant vetting through credit checks, employment verification, and previous landlord references. Our process includes affordability assessments to ensure tenants earn at least 30 times the monthly rent. We verify right-to-rent documentation and may require guarantors for applicants with insufficient income, maintaining strict compliance with the Tenant Fees Act 2019 and housing legislation to protect landlords' interests.
Letting Services
From property marketing to tenancy agreement preparation, our letting service connects landlords with suitable tenants. We arrange viewings, handle applications, and collect initial payments while ensuring all legal documentation meets current regulations. Our 'no let no fee' policy applies to standard letting services, with transparent pricing at 300 + VAT for successful placements, including inventory preparation at additional cost.
Compliance Checks
We ensure properties meet all legal requirements including Gas Safety Certificates, Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR), and Energy Performance Certificates (EPC). Our compliance services cover fire safety regulations, smoke alarm installation, and mandatory HHSRS assessments, maintaining properties to required safety standards while advising landlords on their legal obligations under current housing legislation.
Property Valuations
Our experienced valuers provide accurate property appraisals based on current market conditions and local knowledge. This service helps landlords determine optimal rental pricing and informs strategic decisions for property sales or re-mortgaging. Valuations consider recent comparable transactions and market trends to ensure realistic pricing that attracts quality tenants while maximising property owners' returns.

Absolutely first class. We struggled to find a property to rent in this climate. From the off, Julie was incredibly helpful and managed to find us somewhere within days. Not only that, but all the communication with them. has been faultless; replying within hours to queries, sorting out our references, credit checks and guarantor checks within days. We were in the house less than two weeks after we viewed it. Everything was clearly laid out and explained to us at all points. Best lettings agent we've ever dealt with.

I rented my flat via this Estate Agent for three & a half years & wow!! Best Estate Agents I've ever dealt with. I had a couple of issues with my water & my heating which were sorted straight away with no problems. I'd recommend in a heartbeat. Their fees are the most reasonable too.
