    Why choose Russell & Butler as your agent?

    Any agent can tell a prospective client what they wish to hear, 'we can let your property within 2 weeks', 'we have a long list of prospective tenants looking for a property just like yours', 'it's definitely worth what you are wanting to achieve for it'.  What we prefer here at Russell & Butler is honesty, transparency and with no hard sell, cold calling or bombarding potential clients with numerous mail outs.

    You will be handing over your most valuable asset to complete strangers to look after, you will want to have faith and trust that your chosen agent is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of lettings and property management and tenancy law, so as to ensure that you the Landlord are fully compliant with all of your legal requirements as a Landlord.  Lettings is not a regulated industry and is a business anyone can set up with no legal knowledge or experience in the industry, that's a worrying fact. We are a member of ARLA, the Association of Residential Letting Agents, please visit www.arla.co.uk to find out how choosing an ARLA agent provides peace of mind that you are choosing a professional agency who is always up to date with current legislation to protect you as a Landlord. If you would like to discuss our services further to see how we can help you, please contact our Lettings Manager Lisa Tavener on 01280 815999 or email Lisatavener@russellandbutler.co.uk to discuss our services and how we can help you.

    Looking to change your current letting agent?
    Landlord's often worry that once they are with a letting agent they are stuck if they already have a tenancy running but are unhappy with the service they are receiving, leaving them feeling trapped.  This is not the case, we often have landlords come to us with such a scenario and the process of moving agencies is very simple from a Landlords perspective.  If you are a current Landlord in this situation you can contact our Lettings Manager for a free, no-obligation informal chat to see how we can help you.

        Incredibly freindly service
        "I couldnt believe the amount of extra work Brian and his team put into getting the deal closed.
