    Average Rents in Halrow at an all time high
    image cannot be displayed

    With personal pensions in decline and stock markets erratic, property has always been a solid investment that will continue to grow over the long term. Many people in the last ten to fifteen years have seen the advantages of buying to let, creating their own lettings portfolio to secure their financial future. Since we began trading in 1994, Guardian has assisted many new and existing landlords to create and enhance their existing property portfolios, to let their properties out in a professional manner.

    Rental values at all time high!

    Demand for rented accommodation is very strong, and rental values are at an all time high. Letting residential property remains a strong investment opportunity, subject to purchase price, deposit and mortgage level. Depending on these ratios, it is possible for the rental income to cover the mortgage payments.

    There is a high demand for good quality rental accommodation in Harlow, with an abundance of tenants currently seeking tenancies. Since the mid 1990s, the number of investors and rental properties available has steadily increased; call today to ask why!

Help for our tenants

  • paragraph

    image cannot be displayed

    The Guardian Residential Lettings team realises that looking for a new home can sometimes be a lengthy and time-consuming experience. We take pride in listening to our customers¿ needs, identifying their goals and meeting as many of their requirements as possible. As Harlow¿s largest agent, we always have the most number of properties available to rent in the town, therefore giving prospective tenants the maximum choice available.

    The following information outlines the procedure for potential tenants:

    o Register your details, telling us your moving dates, preferred geographical areas, furniture requirements and price you are willing to pay for your rented property.

    o We will organise as many viewings as we can to suit your requirements, and provide all details, including addresses and viewing times.

    o Once you are happy with a property, we will ask you to fill out an application form for each person over eighteen years of age.

    o We will then agree the let with the landlord, and negotiate any points you have, including preferred moving date.

    o You will then pay your administration fee ¿ to secure the property while we reference you and make the property ready for your move. These charges are as follows , One person £175 , Two people £250 , Three people £300 , Four People £400 and £50 per person thereafter. We will also require one months rent and deposit.

     You will be asked to sign an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement. This is your legal document with a normal twelve month period. You have the right to serve two months¿ rental notice after month 4 should you need, as does your landlord. With equal rights, this keeps it fair for both parties.

     You will be asked to sign our Tenancy Deposit Scheme which protects your deposit money in full.

     You will collect a full, detailed inventory which you will be given time to check over at the property.

    You will be asked to pay one month¿s rent and one month¿s deposit equal to the rent (unless otherwise stated ) in cleared funds.

     We will supply you with a Gas Safety Certificate, Energy Performance Certificate, Move-In letter and pack, and our bank details for your standing order.

    If you wish to add additional Tenants throughout the Tenancy with the Landlord's agreement, there will be an administration fee payable of £100 per person added.

    Most of Guardian¿s properties will be managed by ourselves, and we are available to you between the hours of 9:00 am and 6:00 pm Monday to Friday, and 9:00 am and 4:00 pm on Saturdays.

    If Guardian is fully managing the property, then regular inspections of the property will be conducted every ten to twelve weeks, which you will be notified of a week before.

    Guardian Residential Lettings has been setting up tenancies professionally, thoroughly and honestly since 1994.

    We look forward to hearing from you; please contact us on 01279 635685, or use the contact form on this site.

What real people say about Guardian....

  • Introduction

Testimonials from Landlords

  • Landlord Testimonial


    " You said to me when I first started on the path to being a Landlord 'choose your agent carefully as this is going to be a long journey'. Little did I know how wise those words were, our journey has taken me from being the guy who didn't want to sell his house when he moved in with his girlfriend to being a Landlord with multiple properties and that is due to the fantastic working partnership I have formed with you all. Please do pass on my comments to the team, in this day and age we are all quick to complain but not as fast to praise and that is something they all deserve."

    - Multi Landlord with 3 properties, Harlow, Essex

  • Landlord Testimonial


    " .... I can confidently say that I have no reservations in recommending Guardian as a managing agent for any residential property. Having set up the initial agreement with my tenants, Guardian have demonstrated their almost "systematic" procedure for keeping me informed of any activity and taking care of any issues which arise. All correspondence and communications are dealt with swiftly and efficiently. Whilst I feel the management charges are high, the service I have received to date is better than that provided by any other agent I have experienced. I feel very confident having my rented property managed by Guardian."

    - Landlord, Peacocks, Harlow

  • Landlord Testimonial

    " Having been a Landlord with Guardian since 1991, I can confidently say they manage my portfolio of properties in an exceptionally professional and efficient manner. The staff are always friendly and helpful as well as being knowledgeable in their field."

    - Landlord, Copper Court, Sawbridgeworth

  • Landlord Testimonial


    " We have been Landlords with Guardian since 1997. Our approach to letting at this time was to have multiple agencies working on our behalf to try to let our flats with the minimal breaks in rent. As the rental market fluctuates from time to time, another agent managed to secure a number of our lettings. Whilst this agent managed to let our flats for good rents in a timely fashion, things didn't work out on the management side of things. We decided to consolidate our portfolio with Guardian and the team worked hard to make the transfer as smooth as possible for both the tenants and us. Guardian are now managing a majority of our properties. Their approach to letting is not to take easy lets that lead to trouble for both the Landlord and the management agency. Guardian have a strict vetting process and an excellent management team that ensures the vast majority of lets are trouble free."

    - Multi Landlord with 12 properties, Harlow, Essex

  • Landlord Testimonial

    " Thank you for the professionalism and expertise you have shown since you began handling my property portfolio. Your staff are highly trained and motivated and I am pleased to say that my properties are rarely empty of tenants for long, which is important to me because it is expensive to have void periods. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to other Landlords."
