In the event that we obtain a long term rental client (11 months or more) who wishes to rent your property we are equipped to handle all aspects of the process from arranging initial viewings to taking security deposits, checking references and issuing a comprehensive inventory of your property.
Terms and Conditions for Owners:
Our fee for the coordination of the services below is the equivalent to one months rent inc VAT. This is payable upon signing of the tenancy agreement and renewable on an annual basis, providing both tenant and owner renew the tenancy agreement.

Extensively marketing the property for rental.
Accompanying all prospective tenants on viewings at the property.
Taking up references from a prospective tenant's bank and employers, as appropriate and obtaining any required guarantees.

Arranging for the tenant to pay the rental income directly into the owner’s account.
Issuing keys to tenant and retaining a copy in our office.
