Landlords what you need to know
  • paragraph

    Landlord Mindset
    image cannot be displayed

    Take the emotion away as being a landlord is a business transaction. As a landlord you want to rent your property in the shortest possible time for the best price, at Keystones we advise you on the best possible way to 'avoid empty periods' and help you achieve a regular income. Tell us how you want the service to be and we will find the right fit. If you don't want to deal with the hassle of management then let us help you by alleviating the stress and managing your asset!

    Property Rentals are a focal point of our business and here at Keystones we manage property all over, therefore we understand how complex it can be. Each landlord and each property is different; therefore we need to be versatile and experienced to deal with every case accordingly. We can tailor a bespoke service to suit you, speak to us! If you want no hassle but want to check your bank balance every month then fine, if you want to be called at every point of the process then that's fine as well.

    Property Management
    image cannot be displayed
    Law and Legislation has changed drastically in the lettings world. It is borderline dangerous being an everyday landlord with a day job.

    There are so many mistakes that can happen and many hurdles to trip you up such as: Certificates, Landlord Licensing, How to Rent Booklets, Deposits, Inventories vs Checkouts, Rent Protection Insurances.

    The reason you become a landlord is to run it as a business (an enterprise that works and makes financial gains without you). So why would you manage it yourself.

    You pay the experts at Keystones to worry about the headache for you and wait until your rent comes into your bank account.

    Give our management department a call on 01708 909 100 or email management@key-stones.co.uk

    • Prepare the tenancy agreement
    • Inventory
    • Meter Readings
    • Sorting the utility companies
    • Check in/Check out (meet the tenant)
    • Quarterly Inspections (with a written and photographed reports)

    Rent Protection and Legal Insurance
    image cannot be displayed

    The last thing you want is your tenant not paying your rent or damaging your property, so here at Keystones we can organise this for you, if you want to do this yourself or want to know more about the legalities then speak to a member of the team so we can clearly explain.

    IMPORTANT: Make sure that you have Landlords building and content insurance as many insurers do not cover you if you do not!

    image cannot be displayed

    Keystones Property are letting agents in Collier Row. We cover Romford, Rise Park, Gidea Park, Harold Wood, Harold Hill, Hainault, Chadwell Heath and the majority of the Essex and East London Areas. Tenants - we are here to help. Whether it is your first time renting or you are a seasoned renter, then we are here to assist your move! Here are a few bits of information you need to know.

  • paragraph

    Documents & Paperwork
    image cannot be displayed

    Whether you are employed or self employed, we need to know that you are earning 30x the monthly rent as a combined household income. If you are employed we need to see your payslips with bank statements. Self Employed - we need to see your yearly accounts with bank statements.

    Make sure you are organised, if we notice a tenant is not organised then it will go against your chances of renting a property. Make sure you have your ID's, bank statements, payslips, employers reference, company accounts and references ready so that you are good to go.



  • paragraph

    Prepare for your viewings
    image cannot be displayed

    Here at Keystones we pay attention to everything. We have a successful model in place so that we get the best tenants for our landlords. Make sure you arrive early or on time for your viewings. Predict the traffic! If you are running late, then please call us to tell us - it's polite! Make sure you are dressed appropriately and are punctual. We look at all of these things because we are working for our landlords mainly. So, we have to make shrewd decisions in our line of work so that we do not make mistakes.

  • paragraph

    Inventory
    image cannot be displayed

    On moving into your new home, you will receive an inventory within 48 hours, this is to be signed and returned with any amendments within 7 days. Failure to do so will make the document deemed as signed. Inventory Clerks are like you, they are only human so some things may go a miss. Make sure you check everything so you won't be penalised at the end of your tenancy.

  • paragraph

    When to Move?
    image cannot be displayed

    The best time to start to look for a property is just before you give your notice on a property. You need to be prepared, but don't jump the gun. Most of our landlords want tenants into the properties as soon as they're available so there are no void periods. So if you are looking 2-3 months before you are due to leave, then you are probably wasting your time. Most landlords will accept good tenants looking to move within a 14 day void of their property being vacant.

      Keystones has actually restored my faith
      Corey Belote

      Living in a rental property managed by Keystones has been a great joy. My wife and I have dealt with another in the past, which was a bad experience, but Keystones has actually restored my faith that there are good management companies out there that are open and honest with those living in their properties. They are also very fast to address any issues that arise, which is a great relief, and also follow up to make sure that things are done correctly. Truly a company that understands people."

      Katherine

      Renting this lovely property from keystones is the best ever happened to me and no one made it possible apart from William (will). He did not discriminate, he did not beat around the Bush, he was open, he say it as it is, I have been searching for an apartment for 6 months its either the agent don't want me or the property is too expensive or the house is rubbish. When I saw this property advert on the Internet and it was displayed few hours ago immediately I called and William picked up and I told him I want to view the property that same day. He told me he had busy schedule but he will create time for me and he did just that. When I saw the property I love it but I was scared of loosing it cos I have been facing disappointment for 6months. Williams asked me if I like the house and I said I don't like it, but I Love it. Willam said OK send your papers and the house is yours immediately I sent my papers and lo and behold the house was mine. William did not look the fact that am a single parent He dis not judge me by my colour And I have the best landlord in the world and so blessed with the house big sitting room,2 toilets. William is competent, he cares about people, He is courageous, he communicate well, and he shows compassion and commitment.

        Finally an estate agent with great customer service!I'd had pretty horrible experiences with estate agents prior to Keystones. They were usually pretty unpleasant to deal and not very or honest or reliable! But Scott went out of his way to help me and get the rental property through.Scott was super friendly and warm from the start and had a brilliant 'can-do' attitude.I'm due to move in in a few weeks and Keystones honestly made the whole process thus far way less stressful.
