    Landlords you're in safe hands.

    We are so confident in the level of our checks that we will guarantee to remove the tenant from your property if they fail to pay their rent.

    · We will check for any adverse credit history such as, bankruptcy, CCJs and court decrees and also check if there's any previous names and addresses which they haven't disclosed

    · We will check whether there is any undisclosed credit history which is linked to their current and most recent homes & that the banking details provided are for a genuine bank account. We check against up to three credit agencies

    · We will conduct a check against HomeLet's own Default Database - this may indicate whether your tenant has not been able to pay their rent in the past & conduct a Financial Sanctions check, it is important to make sure that your tenant isn't registered to any of the Government's Asset Freezing lists - because this could mean they are unable to pay their rent in the future

    · We will contact the previous Landlord or Managing Agent who will need to verify the tenants have always paid their rent on time, taken good care of the property and not had a deposit withheld for dilapidations

    · We will also speak to their employer to check the tenant is being paid what they have told us and that there is no reason their employment will be terminated any time soon

    And there's more...

    · We can also reference Overseas Guarantors, perfect for those tenants with parents or relatives abroad

    · Plus, for the first year of the tenancy we will also guarantee to remove the tenant from your property if they fail to pay their rent - great news!

    Testimonials from Landlords

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Provide Great Value For Money

      Ref: Marshfield Road

      We have been using Strakers for some years now and are very satisfied with the service we receive. When we purchased our home the staff were helpful, accessible and dealt with the process professionally. Then when we moved abroad we naturally turned to them as our letting agents. Strakers have always kept us up to date with viewings, found good tenants quickly and helped with all the paperwork. They provide great value for money and are a pleasure to deal with.

    • Landlord Testimonial

      I cannot speak too highly of Strakers

      "I have been letting my house with Strakers for 8 years while I have been living in South Africa - so I have been totally dependent on Strakers for the management of the letting. I cannot speak too highly of them: they have been efficient in finding new tenants when necessary and communication has been excellent, mainly by e-mail but occasionally by international call. They have been quick to inform me of any problems and thorough when they have inspected the property. I highly commend them as letting agents".

      I Steggles

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Highly Professional and Well Managed

      We have been clients with Strakers for over 10 years and use them to manage several of our properties. We also bought one of the properties through them as a sales agent. We have always found their service to be highly professional and well managed. Their letting departments in Devizes, Chippenham and Corsham have always sorted out any problems with our properties promptly whenever there has been the need. I would highly recommend their sales and letting departments for anyone wishing to buy, sell or let a property.

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Quick and Efficient

      I have used Strakers to find tenants for my rental properties for over 10 years and am always impressed by their professional approach and ability to find suitable tenants quickly and efficiently.

      Janet Morgan

    • Landlord Testimonial

      No hesitation in recommending Strakers

      'I have used Strakers Estate Agents for many years, both for selling and letting my properties. They have always been extremely efficient and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them'

      Rosemary Griffin

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Great Service

      I have been using Strakers as letting agents for the last 10 years or so and have always had great service, including the finding of tenants.

      Staff are all professional yet friendly and helpful and I have never felt the need to consider trying anyone else.

      I have also bought and sold properties with Strakers, again with the same excellent service.

      C Webb

    • Landlord Testimonial

      Friendly, helpful and efficient staff

      I have used Strakers to find tenants for my property for the last three and a half years. I have always found the staff I have dealt with to be friendly, helpful and efficient. Furthermore, whenever a problem with tenants has cropped up, I have received immediate attention and sound advice. There is nothing more a landlord could require.

      Last year, my wife and I found ourselves moving house and seeking a house to rent. Strakers' staff listened, understood our needs and helped us find a suitable property. We were shown exactly the same care and diligence as tenants that we had encountered as landlords.

      Finally, I am always impressed by the cheerful teamwork evident when I ring or walk into the Strakers office. This is a well-trained and knowledgeable staff working in a happy environment.
