For landlords
Services for landlords
Whether you own one rental property or a larger portfolio, we provide a dependable, practical management service that gives you peace of mind.
Services
What we offer
Finding and checking tenants
We find tenants for your property and check them before they move in: references, credit checks and Right to Rent checks.
Repairs & maintenance
Tenants report problems to us, and we arrange the work with our regular local contractors: plumbing, heating, electrical and handyman.
Day-to-day management
We're your tenants' point of contact, and we deal with the day-to-day running of your property so you don't have to.
Collecting rent
We collect the rent from your tenants and keep track of every payment.
Safety certificates & compliance
We arrange the safety checks your property needs, such as gas safety and electrical checks, and keep the certificates up to date.
Property inspections
We inspect your property and tell you about anything that needs attention.
