ABOUT US
LettingsWhen Lesley decided to open her own estate agency in 2006, a year later she wanted to offer a complete service; this, of course, included letting properties, a decision that has developed into a core part of the business.
When looking for an agent to take care of your letting needs it is important to choose very carefully; we have over 10 years experience successfully letting and managing clients properties with an incredibly high level of repeat business; something that is rare in the letting market and of which we are incredibly proud. We feel this is the greatest testimonial to the service we provide.
Letting a property involves strict legislation that is ever changing and as such you need an agent who has a complete and thorough understanding of the up to date regulations; something we pride ourselves on with ongoing training and full co-operation with local authorities across the county.
Whatever level of service you are looking for we have a lettings package to suit you; from tenant find only to a fully managed service where you have complete peace of mind.

All of our colleagues have access to the latest software and are able to use this powerful tool to enable them to keep each individual applicant informed as soon as a suitable property comes on to the market. We offer the widest possible coverage that are all linked with state of the art computer and integrated telephone systems, so no opportunity to sell or let your property is missed.
We understand the service you require and as such as a client we offer you every opportunity to discuss any questions you have face to face with a member of our team; who are here to help you through every step of the transaction.
Once instructed to rent your property we will arrange to take quality photographs and prepare an informative brochure, to include an energy performance certificate* Our incentivised colleagues will then match your property to their professionally qualified applicants and call them immediately.

EPC
As it is law that tenant’s deposits are protected, it is highly recommended that Landlords/Agents should provide a comprehensive inventory carried out by a professional inventory clerk. This document will comprise an integral part of the Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement and provides a detailed record of the contents and condition of the property. This is invaluable should any dispute arise at the end of the tenancy.
We will arrange for this service through our recommended inventory company. The cost is £150.00 Inc VAT, this includes the initial inventory and one inspection within three months of the tenant being in the property. This will be deducted from the first months rent and £65.00 Inc VAT will be deducted from the final months’ rent for the final inspection when the tenant vacates. We would also highly recommend further six monthly inspections throughout the tenancy at an additional cost of £50.00 Inc VAT, per inspection.
During inspections we can check for any visible defects that may require attention or repair. Should any defects be noted these would be reported to you, together with our suggestions of what to do to resolve the issue/s.It must be noted that we cannot be held responsible for any disputes arising out of missing issues or errors from inventories by a third party.
We will coordinate the tenant’s occupation and vacation of the property and will require a completed signed document from the landlord authorising us to return the deposit or withhold monies. It is strongly recommended that the landlord visits the property at the end of the tenancy in order to ensure the property is in good order and to see if any works are required prior to remarketing.
INVENTORIES
You must provide tenants with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) (except some HMOs for example, bedsits or where you let out individual rooms) at the earliest opportunity.
From April 2018, privately rented properties were required to have a minimum EPC rating of E for new lets and renewals of tenancies (and by April 2020 for existing tenancies). Where a property qualifies for an exemption, this must be registered on the National PRS Exemptions Register. Local authorities can impose penalties of up to £5,000 for breaches. Tenants can also ask permission to carry out energy performance improvements and you cannot unreasonably refuse consent.
We can arrange an EPC on your behalf at a cost of £84.00 Inc VAT
