Information for Landlords
  • paragraph

    Tried and tested
    In the UK, letting is a very popular way of making money from property. Whether you are a first-time landlord with a single property or a seasoned professional with a large portfolio, Squire Estates experience of Letting and Managing property since 2002 and with a current property portfolio of over 450 properties means your property is in very safe hands.
  • paragraph

    Finding Tenants

    Quite simply; as a landlord, you want to rent your property out as quickly as possible for the best price. You want to avoid empty periods and guarantee a regular income. If you don't want to be bothered with the day-to-day management of the property, we'll sort all that out too.

    But of course you don't just want any tenant in your property. A classic mistake of the 'do-it-yourself' landlord is to just put anyone in the property without properly checking them out. At Squire Estates we have access to comprehensive referencing services to give greater clarity on a prospective tenant's background which all helps minimise potential future tenancy issues.

    With letting comes inherent risk and this can never be eliminated but what Squire Estates can do is help to minimise that risk by getting things right from the very beginning - referencing tenants properly, taking care of safety legislation, organising a detailed inventory and drawing up a legally-sound tenancy agreement.

    The knowledge of our staff is vital to ensuring any situation can be handled in the correct legal manner and resolved as quickly as possible. The laws can be rather complex at times and we have spent many hours learning it so that you don't have to including the ever changing HMO legislation!

    We will however always keep you up to date with your legal obligations as a buy to let landlord and the latest safety regulations

    Our office is also a approved member of NALA (National Association of Letting Agents) and covered by the SAFEAGENT Money Protection scheme - giving you peace of mind that your money is protected. The SAFEAGENT and the NALA Member logos are a sign of this protection. All deposit monies are held by Squire Estates in a secure account and covered by The Dispute Service one of the Government approved schemes for deposits.

    We strongly believe in the transparency of our service and we will clearly state all fees to you before we let your property and our transparency goes even further as our office is a member of the Property Ombudsman scheme and adhere to his rigorous code of practice and redress scheme.

    Regular Inspections of your property once it has been let are a crucial part of our property management service, providing you with the comfort of knowing exactly how the property is being cared for by your tenant. When a tenant leaves your property Squire Estates property management staff will handle the checkout inspection or if there is an inventory arrange for a check out with the Inventory company to ensure your property has been left in acceptable condition and will deal with the release of the tenancy deposit - taking away a major 'hassle' from you!

    So if you have a property to let and are looking for an agent to find a tenant and/or manage your property contact us NOW either by phone or by dropping into our office and see how we can work together with you to keep your investment performing!

Tenant's Guide
  • paragraph

    If you are thinking about renting a property we hope that the following will be of help.

    Choosing the area

    Look around and figure out the specific areas you'd like to rent in and think of the things that are really important to you, like transport links, schools, access to shops and use these to focus your search.

    Registering and Viewing properties

    When you register with us be clear about when you need to move into your rental property. If you need somewhere urgently, let us know. We will do all we can to find you a suitable place.

    However, we will ask that you always try to be available and as flexible as possible. The lettings business is currently incredibly fast moving and when a good property comes to the market there can be a rush to view and offers are often made immediately. You could miss out if you can't make yourself available within 24 hours of the agent contacting you.

    If you are interested in the property but would want the Landlord to undertake minor improvement works, or changes let us know as most of our Landlords are flexible. It can be much harder to get jobs agreed once the tenancy has started.

    Offer

    Once an offer has been accepted you'll need to hand over a holding deposit this is a non-returnable deposit that will hold the property for you, we will not conduct any further viewings on this property.

    Squire Estates will need to conduct security checks on behalf of the landlord, so we will ask all applicants over the age of 18 to complete a reference form - make sure you have details of all your previous addresses to hand.

    Fees and charges

    When you agree to rent a property you will be expected to pay a security deposit and the first month's rent. There will also be Agency fees that you will be liable for.

    Within the tenancy agreement you may also find that extra charges will apply if there is an unexpected change of tenant and also at the time the tenancy is renewed. If there is an Inventory on the property at the end of the tenancy the outgoing tenant(s) is charged for the inventory check-out.

    Please find full details on our Tenant Fees page

    Moving In

    Squire Estates manage the majority of the properties that we let however; if your property is managed by your Landlord you will be given all their contact details. That way, if something goes wrong in the property, you'll know who to get in touch with.

    Look after the property as if it were your own. This reduces the likelihood of disputes over damage when the tenancy comes to an end.

    Remember that you should arrange insurance cover for your furnishings and personal property - the landlord is not responsible for insuring these items.

    Moving out

    If the property was professionally cleaned when you moved in, then the chances are you will need to arrange for the same to be done when you move out.

    It goes without saying that you should leave the property in tip top condition and remove all your belongings, otherwise you risk losing part, or all of your deposit.
