For those Landlords who manage their own property, we can provide a let only service which includes;

 |
Advertising of the property within the local media and in our city based office. A mailshot
of all our properties available to let is sent out weekly to our database prospective tenants.
At the property, a ‘to Let’ board can be placed on request. |

|
Accompanied viewings. |

|
When an application is received for your property we will contact you in the first instance
to discuss the details. Should the application be agreed in principal, the references are
then obtained. |
| |
|
Our referencing process includes completing a credit check, obtaining an employment reference
and rental reference. Also full references of a guarantor are obtained should one be necessary.
We aim to complete referencing within five working days. |

mandate and mortgage notice, if required. |

unfurnished. |

A wallet is issued to the tenants containing instruction manuals for electrical items within
the property. |
