This service includes the Tenant Find service as well as full referencing of tenants, drawing up of contracts, handling of the deposit and arranging the tenants check-in pack.

Once we have agreed a rental price we will advertise your property and begin viewings, after any viewings take place we will report back to you with tenants feedback and send over any offers that are made on the property. Once you have accepted an offer we will take a holding deposit (capped at one weeks rent from the tenants) and begin the referencing process. We will update you throughout this process.
When referencing is complete we will draw up a contract for you to check over and then send this out to the tenants to sign. When we have a copy of the contract signed by tenants we will send this on for you to sign. Finally when we have a fully signed contract we will handover your new tenants to you and send all referencing information electronically. A handover email will be sent to the tenants as well making the move in process as smooth as possible.
