Letting Your Property
We advertise on ALL FOUR of the 3 biggest sites; Right Move, Zoopla (the biggest 2 by far) plus Prime Location and On The Market – which after a slow start, has leapt to prominence. Most agencies save money by only listing on 2 or 3 of these which, means their properties are in no way fully exposed to the market – OURS ARE.
WHY SHOULD YOU USE US? THERE ARE LOTS OF LETTING AGENTS AROUND
We are landlords ourselves and started way back in 2006 with a blank sheet of paper and none of the baggage that ex-estate agency people can come with.
We offer choices of one-off letting fees and full tenancy management
One-off letting fee then nothing to pay no matter how long that tenant stays – they could stay for 5 years or more and all you will ever have paid us is that first fee – details below.
Tenancy management, should you choose it, from here in Twickenham by staff who know you AND know your property (agencies' management offices are usually many miles away, staffed by people to whom your property is just an address on a very long list) We only recommend good tenants, not 'any' tenants. Agency staff are usually incentivised / threatened to just 'get someone in' so the branch can hit their targets / shareholders can stay happy / market share targets are reached. We don’t work like this. It is no use to us to put someone in that we feel uneasy about, just to make that month’s target. We would rather lose the fee and act with integrity and there are many examples of this that we can tell you about. We are landlords too – we are not going to recommend someone we wouldn’t take ourselves.
All charges are listed inclusive of VAT
All options are subject to obligatory £144 for tenancy agreement composition and managing its signing.
PLEASE NOTE! You can give us your contact details with confidence as you will NOT be bombarded with calls and emails every day by random agency staff in the way some agents do – WE DO NOT DO THIS! It is simply not part of our system and I’ve never understood it. That’s a personal promise. We will be in touch and give you the information you need, that’s all.
