About Us
Hello and thank you for visiting our site. I'm David and I'm a landlord myself with a background in marketing, starting in the music business, having arrived here from Edinburgh in 1987.
I established Tenant Finder from my living room in 2006 to find tenants for other landlords, having decided that there was a need for an alternative to the big High Street agents, someone completely independent who would start with a ‘blank sheet of paper’ and not follow the same old ways of doing things and the same old fee structures. We opened our High Street office in 2009 then started a property sales service in 2013. I live with my wife in the centre of Twickenham.
As an enthusiastic Twickenham resident of 25 years, I have been sponsoring local activities and events, large and small, for 20 years now – please see our COMMUNITY page about that.
WHAT DO WE DO?
We provide lettings and tenancy management services for landlords and sales services for residential property owners.
WHERE DO YOU DO THIS?
From our High Street office and our admin back-office in Strawberry Hill.
We offer a complete and empathic service, with easy communication, straightforward fees – with our well-known one-off letting option - and no sales scripts or hard-sell techniques at any time. If I came to see your property we would have an informal chat and I would provide you with a quote for our services. You DON’T then go onto a database to be phoned every day. We have let properties of all sizes from studios to large houses, letting to single professionals and international diplomats alike. We know the Richmond, Twickenham and Teddington area well and can be successful for you, but have let and sold as far away as Pimlico, Chiswick, Ealing and even Maidstone, so if in doubt as to whether we would cover an area, let me know.
We are now firmly established in the area and are currently growing quicker than ever. We enjoy incredible loyalty from clients, for which we are most grateful, with our very first clients still with us many years later.
In lettings we now offer the standard agency deal of a monthly percentage of rent for length of tenancy, which avoids that large initial payment and disruption of your cash-flow. However we still of course offer the deal that made our name - a fair one-off letting fee for finding you a tenant and organising and fulfilling that whole process, with NO ANNUAL RENEWAL FEES however long the tenant stays on.
In sales we provide high quality professional photography, a digital 360 walkthrough for suitable properties and like to use price, open viewings and smart negotiation techniques to achieve the very best price for our clients – please see our testimonials from delighted clients.
We are full members of the Property Ombudsman Scheme and I hold the Technical Award in Residential lettings and Lettings Management from the National Federation of Property Professionials; the main exam body for lettings.
