Marketing Your Property

We will put your property in front of the largest possible audience of prospective tenants.

We’ll start by preparing the details and taking high quality photographs to advertise your property in your local area as well as on major portals Rightmove and Zoopla. It will also be featured on www.ilovehomes.co.uk and shared on our popular social media platforms.

We have links to key local employers and can match properties with professionals looking for a home.

Accompanied Viewings

Our friendly property experts are always on hand to conduct viewings at times to suit you. Our highly- trained team know exactly how to show off the most attractive features of a home to maximise its appeal to tenants

Credit Checks and Tenant Referencing

Having confidence in your tenant is a must. Our third party referencing specialist works to our bespoke criteria in vetting your prospective tenant in order to assess their calibre and credit worthiness. This process includes ID checks, employment checks and references as well as credit reports and proof of income. Landlords must now ensure tenants have the right to rent in the UK, so we will take care of this too

Tenancy Agreement (Contract)

Every tenancy agreement we draw up will protect your interests by complying with all the latest legislation. Our legal experts regularly review and update our tenancy agreements so you are not at risk of failing to provide the relevant paperwork

Rent in Advance and Dilapidations Deposit

A tenant will never be allowed to move into your property until we have received the full deposit on your behalf and an agreed level of rent in advance

Registering the Deposit

It is a legal requirement for landlords entering into an assured shorthold tenancy to protect deposits by holding them within an approved Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme for the duration of a tenancy. We will meet all your responsibilities by lodging deposits with the Deposit Protection Service within the specified period and providing tenants with any information they require regarding how their money is being protected

Inventory (Schedule of Condition)

One of the most important documents in any tenancy is the inventory. It provides crucial evidence of the condition of your property at the start of a tenancy so can be useful in resolving any disputes at the end. Our in-house experts will usually perform the inventory compilation – although we will sometimes rely on a qualified agency – and use it to complete the check-out process. The inventory should include sufficient photographic content, a detailed schedule of condition and appropriate caveats

Contacting Utility Suppliers

We will endeavour to contact utility suppliers to pass on occupation dates and meter readings in order to ensure accounts are passed over smoothly and accurately between incoming and outgoing tenants. The inventory will include details of meter readings on key dates.

We will also endeavour to contact the local council tax department to ensure council tax payments are made by the appropriate individual

Deposit reconciliation and ‘Check Out’

Any deductions from the deposit to be used to fund work that is required in the property will be agreed with you and your tenant. These costs will be deducted from the deposit and the balance returned to the tenant in accordance with the terms of the tenancy agreement. We will mediate on any disputes

Maintaining your property

We understand how important and valuable your property is. From the decor to the garden, furnishings and appliances, every aspect is a crucial part of your investment. Our local property managers are dedicated solely to looking after properties on behalf of our landlords and will do all they can to keep them in top shape. This includes responding to maintenance requests promptly and checking the property is being cared for by your tenant. We offer advice to all tenants on how to look after rented accommodation and can arrange refurbishment work between tenancies

Periodic Property Inspections

Our inventory clerk will arrange regular visits to your property and we will subsequently send photographs and details to you so you know exactly how it is being looked after. We will also suggest maintenance work or other action if necessary

Maintenance and Repairs

Our experienced property managers have contact with a small number of local, trusted contractors who can be relied upon to visit your property - sometimes at short notice - to carry out maintenance work and repairs. From cleaning duties to replacing a roof, our contractors can perform any task. All our approved contractors are required to provide appropriate insurance and qualifications, so you can rest assured work is being completed to a high standard. We also deal with both proactive and reactive maintenance programmes, such as those where gardening or cleaning services are needed. Our
