Our Services

Please find below a list of the services we provide along with a brief introduction to each area. Our experienced estate agency team would be happy to discuss your property requirements, so please feel free to contact us for an informal conversation to see how we can assist you.

Why Use Us?

Letting a property can be a complex and time-consuming process, but our experienced team is here to make it as smooth and straightforward as possible while helping you achieve the best possible rental income.

We provide expert local market knowledge, accurate rental valuations, and professional advice to ensure your property is well positioned in the market and fully compliant with all legal requirements.

Through strong marketing, modern technology, and an extensive applicant database, we aim to give your property maximum exposure and find the right tenants efficiently, while keeping you regularly updated throughout the process.

Pre-letting Considerations

Before letting your property, it is important to consider whether it is suitable for the rental market and understand the type of tenancy agreement you will use, such as an Assured Shorthold Tenancy.

You should also be clear on key responsibilities, including rent arrears procedures, regaining possession of the property at the end of a tenancy, and which bills are the landlord’s or tenant’s responsibility.

In addition, you will need to ensure your tenant’s deposit is protected under an approved scheme and that you have the correct insurance cover in place.

Surveys and Valuations

We carry out valuation work for all types of property, including high-value homes in prime locations, affordable housing, and large UK-wide portfolios.

Our services include RICS Homebuyer Surveys, which provide a detailed inspection and clear report highlighting any urgent or significant issues, as well as valuation reports used by mortgage lenders to confirm property value and reinstatement costs.

It is important to ensure your property is adequately insured for full replacement value, which may differ from market value, and to obtain necessary permissions from your lender and insurer before letting your property. We also provide professional advice for commercial property valuations and related services.

Conveyancing

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one person to another, and must be carried out by a qualified solicitor or licensed conveyancer.

Each party must have their own legal representation to avoid any conflict of interest.

We work closely with specialist conveyancing firms to ensure a fast and efficient service, monitoring progress throughout the transaction and keeping you updated at every stage.
