An Introduction to our Let Only Service
We are able to offer both Let Only and a Full Management services which enables you to have the choice from the range of services we provide.
Areas Covered - We handle properties both within the City Centre of Nottingham and out in to the surrounding areas up to a radius of 25 miles.
Advertising - Your property will be circulated on our property list, which is sent weekly to companies in the Nottinghamshire area requiring properties for employees who are relocating. We advertise in the Nottinghamshire Property Guide and other local papers relevant to the location of your property. We advertise in the Yellow Pages and receive many enquiries from Tenants who have been personally recommended to us.
Tenants - Extreme care is taken when Tenants are applying for your property. We meet and assess all Tenants wishing to live in the property and establish whether they are suitable and in professional employ before any viewings are made. They are required to complete a very detailed application, which enables us to find out as much as possible about them, and apply to a referencing company for the necessary references before proceeding with Tenancy Agreements. To maintain your property to the highest standard it is important that we find Quality Tenants.
Tenancy Agreements - A comprehensive Tenancy Agreement is prepared for both you and the Tenant. We make sure that plenty of time is spent reading the document, to ensure that you understand and are happy with its entire contents.
Safety Regulations - We can advise you on the latest safety regulations for Gas, Electricity and Furniture, and the requirements that are in place for ensuring that your property is safe.
Rents and Deposits - On the commencement date of a Tenancy Agreement we will collect the deposit equal to 1 month’s rent plus £100 and the first months rent from the Tenant. Unless otherwise agreed we will transfer the deposit to you within 5 days of receiving it. You - the Landlord must then register it with another Government Agreed Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme within a further 9 days if the Tenancy is an Assured Shorthold Tenancy. By special arrangement the deposit could be retained in our Client Account as Stakeholder until the end of the Tenancy.
Insurance - Contents Insurance is necessary for both Landlord and Tenant and we insist that Tenants produce a copy of their insurance policy within 1 month of the commencement date of the Tenancy. Insurance policies are available to cover for buildings and contents, loss of rental income, legal protection, Employers and Landlord’s Liability cover. We are able to offer you a 6 month rent guarantee scheme and any of the other insurance services listed above. Further details are available on request.
Maintenance and Repairs - We use local Tradesman to undertake any emergency work and repairs. By employing the same people we have a history of the quality of their work and have obtained copies of their Public Liability Insurance. We do not want to send “cowboys” to your home! We also have immediate access to our own general maintenance man, who is available to maintain properties, i.e. gardening and painting. This may be useful to you when preparing your property to be let or in between lets. Permanent gardening contracts can be arranged.
Terms and Conditions Of Business - Both Landlords and Tenants are required to enter into Terms & Conditions with us. This ensures our promises to you and the Tenant’s promises to us. Both copies are available upon request or at the time of registration.
