Lettings

Whether you are a homeowner looking to rent out your property, a seller who can't sell and needs to move or a buy to let landlord with just 1 or 100 properties then Humberstones Homes Lettings can provide a bespoke service that is right for you.

We will provide comprehensive online marketing for you, plus key property titles ensuring that you receive maximum exposure for your asset.

We are members of the Property Ombudsman and work with the Deposit Protection Service to safeguard tenants deposits.

We offer 2 levels of service "fully managed" where you can sit back and relax whilst we take care of everything or "let only" where you take charge once the tenants are in place.

Full Management

We provide full colour brochures with extensive photos and floor plans and we actively market your property through websites and newspapers to find you the right tenant for your property.

Once suitable tenants have been sourced we thoroughly reference them before making a commitment and take a holding/reference deposit to confirm their commitment. Once approved and accepted a moving date is agreed and the tenancy agreement is compiled which is signed by both tenant and yourself. Prior to the tenant moving into the property a full photographic inventory/schedule of condition is undertaken and a security deposit is lodged.

Any queries, questions or problems that tenants may have - day or night, through the term of the tenancy this will be dealt with by ourselves. The rent will be collected by standing order and then passed by bank transfer to you (less the management fee) along with a monthly statement for your records. During the tenancy one of our representatives will visit your property periodically to inspect the condition and provide a full report for you.

At the end of the tenancy we will check the tenants out of the property and handle the changeover of utilities.

Let Only

Our let only service is the same as the fully managed service up to the point when the tenants move in to the property. Once the tenants have moved in they are given your contact details as the landlord and you will be required to collect the rent and deal with any problems the tenants have until the end of the tenancy. At the end of the tenancy we will again check the tenants out of the property.
