There are NO hidden admin fees for tenancy agreement preparation or deposit registration that some high street estate agents charge.
Our fee covers all the administration involved in getting tenants into your property.
Vetting
If the agents haven’t done this already, using an independent tenant assessment agency we check ccjs, credit score, previous landlord history, bank details and employment references. In addition we obtain a copy of their passport and proof of address.
Tenancy Agreement
Our standard tenancy agreement is an Assured Shorthold Tenancy. We work closely with Gibson Young Solicitors ensuring our tenancies and clauses added for special circumstances are correct.
Pre-tenancy Works
We arrange statutory requirements such as the Energy Performance Certificates and Gas Safety Certificates as well as inventories, professional cleaning and pre tenancy maintenance (managed clients only).
Deposits
A six week deposit is collected prior to the tenant moving into the property. The deposit is transferred into the Deposit Protection Service for the duration of the tenancy.
Rent
We collect this on your behalf and forward the net rent to you each month accompanied by a detailed statement of account.
Mid Tenancy Check up
We will visit your property during the tenancy and provide you with a detailed condition report.
