Residential Lettings and Management

We are proud of our strong background in rural estate asset management, and the high standard of personal service we offer clients wishing to let residential properties. We have many years of experience in handling the “ins and outs” of marketing and managing of such properties UK wide, and the particular pitfalls to be avoided. The services we offer include:

letting property
- landlord fees and services – here
- tenant’s obligations – deposits and permitted payments – here
property management and collection of rents
six month or fixed longer term tenancies
negotiations between parties, landlord and tenant
rent reviews
referencing and interviewing prospective tenants
schedules of condition

We have a continually updated register of active prospective tenants.

We offer a “tailor-made” service for landlords, whereby we put your property on the open market having developed a detailed marketing strategy with you, producing a multi-media advertising campaign. We can ensure your property is exposed to national and international markets through our membership of rightmove.co.uk and our own website.

Please contact us in full confidence to discuss your situation and particular marketing needs; or to arrange for us to come out and give you a free marketing letting valuation and/or report without obligation.
