1: Putting your property for marketing
1.1 You can only sell what people see. Our experts pay attention to how your property is presented.
However before you put it on the market to rent you want to consider your options and see whether it would be financially viable for you to be the property out to rent.
1.2 Painting the property once again, to instil life. This includes decorating anything and modernizing it if needs be. An attractive property will give more interest to your property. Get any repairs done that you may need to do.
1.3 Clean your property and free it of the clutter before presenting it.
No one likes a dirty property and this can show people that you don’t care about the property and are not a very good landlord. It’s not a good way to start the relationship.
Cleaning the whole property including the inside and out. This includes the garden and any other buildings they the property may include.
1.4 Get the house photographed with a professional photographer. We can take care of this for you and take professional photographs of each property we put up to market.
2: What is your property’s worth?
You need to know how much can you potentially get from renting a property, and it is wise to get an independent valuation to evaluate the next step easily.
We can help you with getting a valuation for the property and our expert estate agents can help tell you how much your property is worth.
3: Placing the property in the market
3.1 Getting a custom brochure completed. We can take care of this and create a professional brochure advertising your property.
3.2 A valid energy performance certificate (EPC) needs to be obtained (for a standard fee, we can take care of this).
3.3 Get it ready to be listed on major property platforms to attract potential buyers (e.g., On the Market).
3.4 Marketing the property through email, WhatsApp, social media and via phone. We have a large database of potential tenants who could be interested in your property.
4: Searching for the right tenant
We have many tenants waiting to find a new home. We have a strategic internal approach to ensure that your property is initially viewed from an existing qualified database of hundreds of potential tenants. We will, therefore, generate interest through a combination of the main channels. We will ensure that each tenant is thoroughly inspected before the performance. Our priority is to monitor and provide feedback to owners within 48 hours.
5: Let Agreed
Once we find a suitable tenant and all their references are in place, we begin with the paperwork, i.e., the let agreed stage.
As a landlord you are required to fulfil a number of legal responsibilities including Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations. However we can help you with this and guide you through the whole process.
6: Tenancy Agreement
Here the tenancy agreement is drawn, quoting the exact terms of the contract between you and your tenant. Both of you receive a copy to check and sign before the tenancy begins.
7: Inventory
An inventory is a detailed record of all contents and the condition of the property you are renting. As a landlord, you ought to know your responsibilities, as well as the tenant’s responsibilities. Mid-term and end of tenancy inventory inspections and the damages that need to be taken care of shall be highlighted. Both the landlord and the tenant receive a copy to check and sign before the tenancy begins.
8: Deposits
Our team will ensure that we guarantee the optimal rental, the duration of the lease, the requirements, and the movement over time to offer you the best possible offer. The clerk makes sure that the tenant receives the keys timely, and we take a deposit from the tenant on your behalf.
