Our simple process to letting a property
Step 1
Find out the facts and figures
With a free property valuation find out what you could be earning as a landlord. We’ll be honest and realistic and follow up with a detailed report, ensuring all the information is relevant to you and your property so you get the most out of it.
Step 2
Showstopping marketing campaign
We’ll get your property seen. Our marketing includes professionally edited photography, bespoke video tours, floorplans and targeted marketing on our social media channels and website. It will also feature on the popular property portals Rightmove and OnTheMarket.
Step 3
Contact our exclusive tenant database
We can source the right tenant for your property through our database of tenants actively on the lookout for a new home. We’ll reach out to them so they know that your property is available to let.
Step 4
Say yes to an offer
We’ll check out tenants before they submit an application to help ensure they are more likely to meet the referencing criteria. Once you’re happy, we’ll take care of the rest.
Step 5
Getting the paperwork done
Using a nationally recognised referencing system we’ll carry out ID checks and make sure all the regulations and legal requirements are met. Deposits will be collected, or if you and the tenant have agreed on the flatfair No Deposit Scheme, the non-refundable nil deposit service charge will be paid.
Step 6
Move-in day!
We’ll provide your tenant with all the required documentation and they’ll be checked into the property, have the inventory explained and the keys handed over. Hooray! You’ve just let your property.
We’ll take care of it
If you want to sit back and relax, safe in the knowledge that everything is being taken care of for you, then our fully managed letting services are definitely the right choice.
Our managed letting services ensure you will always meet your legal obligations as a landlord, as we keep on top of the ever-changing legislation. We’ll keep in touch with your tenants and respond to any maintenance issues. We’ve got great local, trusted, and reliable contractors who we’ve been working with for many years, and when an issue is reported through Fixflo, our online repair reporting system, our letting agents will be straight on it.
Our rent collection service means we’ll also take care of collecting the rent from your tenants, and our let-only service is for portfolio landlords, where we’ll find you the right tenants, and then you can take it from there.
Are you compliant?
Take advantage of our free rental Property Health Check.
What’s included:
- Check if your property meets all legislative requirements.
- Check smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
- Review your EPC, EICR and Gas Safety certificate.
- Advise any remedial works that could increase the value and appeal of the property.
- Provide an up-to-date property valuation.
Let us help you ensure your rental property is in top condition to protect you, your property, and your tenants.

Chantelle Burrows
Office Manager
Chantelle moved over to the UK from Cape Town, South Africa with her husband and daughter. She previously worked in Property Management and has many years of Admin and Management experience. When not at work, Chantelle and her family love to go camping and for walks. On less sunny days, you’ll find her curled up on the couch with a good book or a movie or baking something in the kitchen, always a cup of tea in hand.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
A baker. I love to bake and even better when I am baking something with chocolate.
Worst fashion mistake was…
My bob haircut when I was 10 and the awful 90’s clothes that went with it. What was I thinking?
My guilty pleasures…
80’s music and boy bands from the 90’s. It always puts me in a good mood and gets me ready to dance.
One of my funniest memories is…
We were away camping in Tsitsikamma Nature Reserve in South Africa. I was sitting alongside the ocean by my caravan enjoying my morning tea and a rusk (a South African sort of morning biscuit). I had left the box of rusks sitting open on the table and a baboon came down off the side of the mountain, snuck in behind me and stole my box of rusks. He ran back up the mountain and sat and ate the whole box while looking at me. So I told him very loudly that they don’t taste very nice without tea.
The best piece of advice I’ve ever been given is…
That if someone hasn’t earned the right to give an opinion about you then don’t let their opinion bother you.
On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me…
Wrapped up in my dressing gown eating French toast and bacon with my family.
