Any disputes will be referred to the dispute resolution service of the Tenancy Deposit Protection scheme used.
Easy to read agreements for tenants and landlords.
We will prepare an easy to read legal agreement which complies with current legislation. In general this will be for an academic year and then renewable on a year by year basis. This gives you, the landlord, the flexibility to re-occupy or re-let the house each summer.

We will compile a list of household items, which may include photographs to document their condition and supply this to both landlord and tenant.
Collecting the rent on your behalf and providing you with monthly accounts.
Rents received are payable by the tenant weekly, monthly or termly to our client account. You will be paid direct from this account and we will prepare, at regular intervals, a clear income and expenditure account which you can send to the Inland Revenue.

We are always available by phone, text or email to tenants and landlords alike, and we will respond quickly to any questions or concerns that arise.
Making regular inspections of the property and providing you with regular updates.
Within the first two months of a tenancy we aim to inspect your property twice a month. After this initial period, should everything be fine, we limit our visits to one per term, although we do perform additional checks over the Summer, Christmas and Easter holidays while the property maybe vacant. During each inspection we will photograph each room.
