We maintain comprehensive referencing services, along with efficient contractual processing, thus reducing any potential for a void period in your property.
Your property can be let fully furnished, part furnished or unfurnished. Which of these is appropriate will depend on the type of property and local market conditions. We will be pleased to give you advice on whether to furnish or not and to what level.
Yes would be glad to assist. We can help you to build your investment portfolio by highlighting areas which are forecast to experience the most profitable increases in capital growth vs rental value, thereby maximising your rental yield.
If your property is mortgaged with a mortgage that is not specifically designed for rentals, you should obtain your mortgagee’s written consent to the letting. They may require additional clauses in the tenancy agreement of which you must inform us.
