Your Marketing
We want your property to be seen far and wide, which is why we offer extensive coverage. Your property will be advertised across top UK property portals including Rightmove, OnTheMarket and Zoopla, in local press publications, on our website and in our prominent window displays. All viewings are accompanied by our friendly, professional staff to ensure your property is seen in the best possible light.
We also take good quality photos of the property to make sure that tenants can see the property in its best light, and get an accurate idea of the size and the condition of the property. We find that tenants are more likely to go out a view a property if the photos are a good quality, plentiful and an accurate reflection. We find we get more motivated and serious viewers as they know what to expect before they visit
Getting Your Property Ready To Let...
We have found from experience that a good relationship with tenants is the key to a smooth-running tenancy. As Property Managers the relationship part is our job, but it is important that the tenants should feel comfortable in their temporary home, and that they are receiving value for their money. This is your job.
Our policy of offering a service of quality and care, therefore, extends to our tenant applicants too, and we are pleased to recommend properties to rent which conform to certain minimum standards. Quality properties attract quality tenants and result in happy long-term tenancies.
Income Tax
When the landlord is resident in the UK, it is entirely his responsibility to inform the Inland Revenue of Rental Income received and to pay any tax due. However, where the landlord is resident outside the UK during a tenancy, under new rules effective from 6 April 1996, unless an exemption certificate is held, we as landlord’s agents, are obliged to retain and forward to the Inland Revenue on a quarterly basis, an amount equal to the basic rate of income tax from rental received, less certain expenses.
An application form for exemption from such deductions is available from this Agency, and further information may be obtained from the Inland Revenue.
Inventory
Aside from the tenancy agreement and deposit protection, the Inventory of contents and schedule of conditions is an equally important document. Without it you cannot support any deposit deductions, and in order to avoid misunderstanding or dispute at the end of a tenancy.
We will provide an inventory and check out at no extra cost to our managed properties, there is a charge for tenant-find-only tenancies, at a cost to be quoted depending on the size of the property.
