Our Full Management Service – Stress-Free Letting from Start to Finish
Our Full Management Service is designed to take care of everything on your behalf — from marketing your property to managing the tenancy and handling day-to-day responsibilities. It’s the ideal solution for landlords who live outside the area or simply prefer a hands-off approach.
Here’s what’s included:
🔍 Comprehensive Marketing & Viewings
We begin by promoting your property across the best-performing platforms, scheduling and hosting viewings to attract the right tenants. Once we’ve found a suitable applicant, we carry out thorough vetting and referencing to ensure they’re a great fit.
📝 Tenancy Set-Up
Once a tenant is approved, we handle all the necessary paperwork. This includes preparing the tenancy agreement and, if requested, arranging a detailed inventory. On move-in day, we check the tenant in against the inventory, giving both parties peace of mind.
🧰 Ongoing Property Management
Throughout the tenancy, we carry out routine inspection visits to make sure everything is in order. If any maintenance issues arise, we’ll handle them promptly within the terms of our management agreement — arranging reliable contractors and keeping you informed.
💷 Rent Collection & Payments
We manage the collection of rent, process all payments, and ensure your rental income is transferred directly into your nominated bank account in a timely manner. You’ll receive regular statements for complete transparency.
🔄 Tenancy Renewal or Re-Marketing
As the tenancy approaches its end, we liaise with the tenant to either arrange a renewal or begin the re-letting process. If the tenant is leaving, we’ll manage the check-out and promptly market the property to minimise any void periods.
Let-Only Service – For Landlords Who Prefer to Stay Hands-On
Our Let-Only Service is ideal for landlords who are confident managing the day-to-day responsibilities of a tenancy but want expert help finding the right tenant and setting everything up professionally.
Here’s what’s included:
📣 Marketing & Viewings
We start by advertising your property across a range of popular platforms and our own marketing channels. Our team conducts accompanied viewings to find a suitable tenant as quickly and efficiently as possible.
👤 Tenant Referencing & Vetting
Once we’ve identified a prospective tenant, we carry out comprehensive referencing and credit checks to ensure they meet the necessary criteria. If required, we can also secure a guarantor.
📝 Tenancy Agreement & Inventory
Once approved, we draw up a legally compliant tenancy agreement and, if requested, arrange a detailed property inventory to protect both you and your tenant.
💷 Initial Rent Collection & Deposit Handling
We collect the first month’s rent and the tenancy deposit (where applicable), then transfer the funds to your nominated bank account — minus our agreed fee.
After the tenancy has begun, ongoing management of the property, rent collection, and maintenance will be your responsibility as the landlord.
This service gives you a strong, professional start to the tenancy — while giving you full control from that point forward.

Carefully Selected Tenants
Drawn from a continually updated register, all prospective Tenants are thoroughly referenced and credit checked. In some cases we will also require a guarantor.
Before a property can be let, there are several matters which the owner will need to deal with to ensure that the tenancy runs smoothly, and also that he/she complies with the law. We provide summarised information below. If you require further advice or assistance with any matter, please do not hesitate to contact us:
Preparing the Property
We have found that a good relationship with Tenants is the key to a smooth-running tenancy. As Property Managers this relationship 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. It follows therefore that a well presented and maintained property in a good decorative order will go towards this, whilst also achieving a higher rental figure. Tenants are also more inclined to treat such a property with greater respect.

Levels of Service Offered
Full Management
Letting Only
Full Management
This is our inclusive Service, which provides for the marketing of the property and carrying out viewings, leading to the introduction and vetting of a prospective Tenant. This proving satisfactory, we then go ahead and prepare the tenancy agreement, and if required an inventory. The Tenant will then be checked in against the inventory.
During the tenancy we carry out periodic inspection visits. Should these bring to light any maintenance issues, we will (within the confines of our Management Agreement) arrange or recommend any necessary repairs.
Collecting and processing of rental payments is also an important part of our Full Management Service. Rental balances will be credited automatically to the Landlord’s nominated bank account.
Towards the end of the tenancy, we liaise with the Tenant, with a view to renewing the tenancy agreement, or arranging to check them out and re-advertising the property to let.
This Service is suitable for Landlords who are not residing locally, or would rather not deal with the Tenants directly, preferring all aspects to be handled by an Agent.
Letting Only
