Finding the Right Tenant

As we all know, the best-presented properties are let first. In today's competitive market, it is essential to show your property at its best. To ensure your property attracts the right type of tenant, we give helpful advice on:

Decoration and furnishing
Cleaning your property professionally
Maintenance and repairs
Organising safety certificates

Once your property is ready to rent, a detailed inventory is be carried out before new tenants move in. The inventory details will be agreed on by both landlord and tenant before any paper-work has been completed. This helps to avoid any misunderstanding about the condition of the property when it is first let so you can rest easy knowing that your investment is safe.

We place intense focus and lots of time on researching accurate information about your property and its surroundings. We take the initiative to include details about transport, schools and amenities when promoting your property to emphasise the benefits to those looking to rent. Potential tenants are often given a short drive around the surrounding area in order to give them a feel for the location.
