Landlords's Information

Let your mortgage company know that you are planning to rent out your property and that they give you permission to do so.

This is a good time to complete any necessary repairs, cleaning up clutter and making sure your property presents well for viewings.

We will use our experience and knowledge of the market to give you an honest valuation and be clear on any fees that will be involved. If you choose us as your agent, we will confirm your asking rental price, arrange to do photographs and floor plans of your property and proceed with the marketing.

Once your property is on the market, you will need to prepare for viewings. Let us know your minimum notice period for arranging viewings, or where possible provide us with a key. Viewings will always be accompanied by an agent.

We will let you know as soon as we get an offer. Once you receive an offer that you are willing to accept, you will need to confirm the date the property will be available.

The prospective tenant will be required to complete a reference form for a credit check, we will also ask for employers and previous landlord’s references, all to be approved by you.

We will prepare a lease agreement for the tenancy, to be approved and signed by yourself and then signed by the tenant. A copy will then be sent to you.

Prior to the start of the tenancy we will prepare an inventory report including photographs for the condition of the property.

Once we have cleared funds for the deposit and first month’s rent, along with a direct debit form from the tenant, we will hand over keys to your new tenant. Your deposit will then be placed in the ‘My Deposit’ Scheme on your behalf.
