Landlord Services
Are you thinking of becoming a landlord? We’re here to make the process of letting your property as effortless and risk-free as can be.
We are landlords too, and know how stressful it can be at times to maintain a property and keep your tenants happy. That’s why we do what we do: to save you the hassle. Our services allow you to enjoy your free time while continuing to reap the benefits of renting out your property.
From gas safety inspections to collecting rent or asking tenants to vacate your property, our team is intimately familiar with what’s required of a landlord – many of us own and rent out homes ourselves, after all.
Our primary aim will always be to ensure that you remain current and compliant with legislation. We’ll bring you up to speed with existing regulations and keep you abreast of new ones, taking the weight off your shoulders.
We’ll advertise your property effectively on a variety of internet property portals like Zoopla, PrimeLocation and more. Plus, thanks to our exhaustive knowledge of the local housing market, we can help you achieve the best possible rent figure for your property.
Drawing on our first-hand landlord experience and expert knowledge of letting rules and regulations, we’ll arm you with everything you need to become a successful landlord. But that’s not all we do.
What we offer
In addition to dispensing hands-on advice and essential regulatory knowledge, we’ll provide you with prospective tenants who are employed, professionally referenced and covered by a rent protection warranty if required.
We’ll conduct comprehensive inventory and schedule of condition surveys for your peace of mind, and we have a team of professionally qualified and insured contractors on hand to promptly attend to maintenance requirements.
As we’re landlords ourselves, we understand how stressful it can be if work is carried out on your property to a poor standard. That’s why we promise to always treat your property as if it was our own, hand-picking local contractors and making sure that when a job is done, it’s done properly.
Whether you’re a first-time landlord or an accomplished investor with a portfolio of properties, we will accommodate your needs and deliver a comprehensive, transparent and professional service you can count on.

Our Offices
Our branches are compliant with all of the relevant government rules and regulations, and offer the following safeguards:
- Client Money Protection, which protects both your money and the tenants if we were to go into administration. It also protects against theft and misappropriation, and was made compulsory in April 2019.
- Redress and Dispute Resolution became a legal requirement in October 2014. By law, lettings agents are required to join an independent and government-approved redress scheme.
- Deposit Protection ensures that tenancy deposits are protected. In 2004, it became a legal obligation to have this in place within 14 days of receipt.
