LANDLORDS SERVICES - synopsis

  • paragraph

    How can I help?
    You may be a seasoned Landlord and fully aware of all the requirements to let a property or you may be a first timer. Either way, SEARLES Property Consultancy is here to help. I have almost 19 years experience letting cottages and castles in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and the Cotswolds. A Letting Agent is always on a steep learning curve but during my time I have been fortunate enough to rent out a great number of houses, each one with its own particular idiosyncrasies thereby managing most of the steep curve!

    The principle of SEARLES Property Consultancy is to be as flexible as possible for all Landlords. Some Landlords may find their own Tenant but might prefer to use my Tenant referencing service, then use their own Tenancy Agreement but lodge the deposit through SEARLES with the Tenants Deposit Scheme (TDS) (see Legal page of this website) - this is entirely fine. Some Landlords may prefer the whole lettings package from the start, ie arranging the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) then the advertising and marketing, paperwork, deposit protection, Inventory at the start of the tenancy with rent collection and liaison between the Tenant throughout the tenancy - again this is absolutely fine. Any combination or part of the services I have to offer are available to Landlords - the main thing is that we get it right for everyone concerned, thus minimising the hassle and headaches!

    Please contact me on 07887 888686 or email at soffi@searlespc.co.uk and we can discuss your requirements or fill in the enquiry form below and I can call you at a time to suit you. Once we have discussed your requirements, I can either visit the property you wish to let if you require the whole package or send you all the draft papers you might require so we can tailor them to your needs.

    If you have any questions, please contact me and I shall look forward to hearing from you!

TENANTS - synopsis

    HOW TO SECURE A HOUSE - from start to finish
    When you have found a property through SEARLES Property Consultancy and your request to rent the property has been accepted by the Landlord, you will be required to fill in a Tenant Reference form before things proceed. I will send you this by email as soon as I hear from you. Referencing costs £45 per personal application or £60 for a company application provided that everything is transmitted by email.

    Payment is required by bank to bank transfer and, once received, the reference form will be released for you to complete and send to the Reference Agency.

    Assuming the references are satisfactory, on their return to me I will contact you and let you know when to expect the Tenancy Agreement and initial invoice for the rent and deposit which is six weeks if you have no pets and eight weeks if you have pets. This deposit is held by SEARLES as stakeholder and is registered within 14 days of the start of the tenancy with the Tenants Deposit Scheme - see the Legal page of this website.

    The principle idea at SEARLES is to make the whole business of house hunting and eventually renting a house hassle free but quick and efficient.

    If you have any questions, please contact me and I shall look forward to hearing from you!

  • Introduction

    History - from start to date
    image cannot be displayed
    My apprenticeship in the world of lettings started in 1991 when I arrived in the UK from Hong Kong and answered a local advertisement for a "secretary in a busy lettings office in Dauntsey". This was Zodiac Lettings Agency and the "office" was, in fact, a garage but the business grew and we were soon located in High Street premises in Malmesbury.   In 1997, Knight Frank took over Zodiac and I headed up the Knight Frank Cirencester Lettings office.   After three years with Knight Frank, the opportunity to buy the business arrived and I re-branded it as HARDCASTLES, in memory of my father as that was his middle name!   After six years I sold the business but after two years trying other careers, I knew that I wished to continue to pursue my career in rentals.   I have now chosen a route that will allow me to concentrate on the parts of the business I most enjoy, hence the birth of SEARLES Property Consultancy.

Testimonials from Landlords

  • Landlord Testimonial

    in good  hands

    I have known you for nearly 5 years now and in all my dealings with you I know I can trust you in all the important aspects of my properties, including visiting my prospective purchases, rental assessments, prospective demand and future demand etc

    We both know an essential part of owning rental property is forming a partnership with an outstanding and knowledgeable Property Manager and Letting Agent....and yes -
    I know I have to pay for your services - however, I just could not even begin to compete with the professionalism you provide and the fee you charge me is worth every penny.

    Any prospective, current or aspiring property owner can manage their own property -however, I know with you, Soffi, my investments are in good hands and come rain or shine, holidays or no holidays , having you looking after my properties allows me to sleep at night and never doubt my Tenants will be in good hands.

    You are a rare commodity in a market dominated by wordsmiths, you simply talk common sense, a very uncommon commodity nowadays.

    I wish you continued success in 2010 and will have no hesitation in giving your name to anyone who needs sound property advice.
