FAQs

How much does it cost to let my property?

Our fees depend on which of our three service levels you choose: Full Management, Rent Collection or Introduction Plus. You’ll find a full breakdown on our Lettings Fees page.

What levels of landlord service do you offer?

We offer three tiers. Full Management covers every aspect of letting your property and suits landlords who want minimal day-to-day involvement. Rent Collection leaves everyday property and tenancy management with you, while we prepare the documentation and closely monitor your rent payments. Introduction Plus is aimed at experienced, locally based landlords who prefer a hands-on approach but still want the assurance that all tenancy paperwork meets current legislation.

Which service level is right for me?

It depends on how involved you want to be. Choose Full Management if you’d rather we handle everything day to day. Choose Rent Collection if you’re happy to manage the property and tenancy yourself but want your documentation professionally prepared and your rent monitored. Choose Introduction Plus if you’re an experienced, local landlord who prefers to be hands-on but still wants every document, from referencing to end of tenancy checks, handled correctly.

How will you market my property and find tenants?

We actively market your property across all the largest national property portals, including Rightmove, OnTheMarket, Zoopla, Primelocation and NetHousePrices, as well as across social media. Every prospective tenant is carefully referenced to confirm their suitability and their ability to cover the rent.

How is my deposit protected, and how much do you hold?

We hold the equivalent of five weeks’ rent as a security deposit on all Full Management, Rent Collection and Introduction Plus properties. Every deposit is held in line with the Government-regulated Tenancy Deposit Scheme, and all monies are registered with the scheme.

Are you regulated, and is my money protected?

Yes. Our lettings team is professionally trained and ARLA Propertymark qualified. All landlord funds are held in a separate Client Account, backed by Propertymark’s Client Money Protection Scheme, which protects your rent, deposit and funds from misappropriation.
