Our entry level service. For a one off up-front fee you can list your property on all the major portals including rightmove, Zoopla and PrimeLocation. Our ‘lite’ option is designed for people who want to manage their let themselves. We will provide all the tools you need to market your property; photographs, floorplans, a ‘To Let’ board and a listing on all the major UK portals. When we generate enquires, we screen the tenants and if they are suitable, we will arrange the viewings on your behalf. We offer fully accompanied viewings too. Crucially we will negotiate offers; an element which most clients feel less comfortable which gives us an advantage over online approaches. When a let is agreed, you manage the process to move in. A simple, cost effective way to be your own estate agent, with our support, providing all the tools you need to market your property effectively.

Who is this service suitable for?
Our basic service is designed for those who simply want us to find a tenant and move them in. The rent collection and property management is handled by you.
How does this compare to other agents?
Lettings fees vary greatly between agents, from 5% +VAT to 10% +VAT (source; which.co.uk), and some agents charge less than this. However, you should always make sure you let through an ARLA registered estate agent, which guarantees the highest ethical standards in accordance with the law.
We believe we charge a fair fee for a quality lettings service. We operate 7 days a week from 8am – 8pm and you will be assigned a single point of contact throughout the process. Our staff are highly experienced and, unlike some agents, we focus not just on finding any tenant, but finding the right tenant.
