    Letting Guide

    Preparing to let
    For some letting a property is an appealing investment opportunity. For others it can be accidental, either way there are various factors needing attention when preparing to let a property.
    Top tip: Remember, you will be letting total strangers live in one of your most valuable assets. Choose the agent that cares.

    Valuing your property

    To determine the rental value of a property it is important to understand the local market and local rental demand, this is our area of expertise.
    Top tip: A correct valuation should be supported by good comparable evidence, sometimes the highest valuation is not always the right valuation

    Good tenants make for happy landlords
    Finding a reliable tenant who will look after your property and enjoy living in it helps to avoid 90% of landlord and tenant issues. Credit checks and references are crucial, as is meeting tenants face-to-face to assess the tenant's suitability. If you don't want to be involved in this part of the process william rose, can do this for you.
    Top tip: Good referencing is important so you can limit any future tenant issues. The difference between one agent settling for the first tenant who wants your property and another agent being prepared to work to secure the best tenant they can find.

Renting
  • paragraph

    Finding the right property for you
    Whoever you are planning to rent from these are some fundamental renting basics that you need to know.

    What's included?
    Make sure you commit to a rent you can afford - don't forget to account for utility bills, council tax, internet etc. Unless otherwise stated your council tax and other bills won't be covered by your rent.

    How much does it cost to secure the property?
    You'll be asked to pay a holding fee (fee of intent), this removes the property from the market while we obtain references subject to contract. When you move in the holding deposit is deducted from your first month's rent.

    What checks do I need to pass?
    William rose operate thorough checks on all our tenants via an independent referencing company. You will need to pass a credit check, residential history check and provide employment references. If you don't pass some of the checks, or have limited credit history, then you may need to pay additional rent in advance or have a UK guarantor.

    What's an assured shorthold tenancy?
    Most residential tenancies will be an Assured Shorthold Tenancy of 12 - 36 months in length. This is an industry standard contract that can be amended to reflect agreement between landlord and tenant, for example allowing pets or providing a break clause.

      Testimonials from Sellers

      • Seller Testimonial

        Daniel Betts
        After sitting down with four different agents we as a family (myself representing my Granddad) decided to go with William Rose. And I must say it was the best decision we made! Being first timers in selling and buying we first met Jay who was a true gent - honest, informative and patient. He assured us with everything he could and would do and he delivered on it all. Even going out of his way to help us find a property in our chosen area in which he had extensive knowledge on. Every doubt or question we had as a family he answered. Every text or call he responded instantly! He kept us up-to-date with everything and never left us in the dark when it came to the negotiating and collaborating with our final buyer. But being a gent, he did, and now my Granddad is downsizing into a lovely home he and the whole family adore. I can't thank them enough. Honestly, we was a little nervous at first with whoever we went with but the team at William Rose eased those nerves and delivered! For those doing it for a relative (an elderly especially who can be anxious a lot of them time) these guys are the agents to use! They will have yourself or a relative smiling with happiness when all is done.
      • Seller Testimonial

        Tony McMahon
        Choosing an estate agent is never easy but I had to sell my father's property and after meeting a couple of agents, just got a good vibe off these guys. Played it straight, no over-the-top sales talk, experienced and - hope they're not offended - middle aged. Seasoned players! The property was sold in days during Covid conditions at the price I wanted. And they managed the buyer well getting the sale completed. So - recommend.

      Testimonials from Buyers

      • Buyer Testimonial

        Kieran Fox-Higgs
        William Rose were the agents for a house in Woodford that later turned out to be our first home. Jay was the representative who we dealt with at the first viewing and all the way through to completion. It was a difficult time due to COVID-19 and lock downs however Jay was extremely professional, responsive and proactive during all stages of the process. The chain was not the easiest with lots of challenges and last minute hurdles being thrown up, all of which Jay managed amazingly and ensured that we were kept in the loop and up to date with all developments along the way. I would have no hesitation in recommending William Rose's services to friends or family or using them to sell our house should we ever decide to move.
