From time to time Landlords refer the agency to assist in tenant issues at an additional charge.

At the touch of a button, your property specification can be matched to appropriate tenants on our database to shortlist potential candidates. Lanes Rentals have also developed a mobile phone app to broaden the coverage of our properties.

Finding the Right Tenant

Our commitment at Lanes Rentals is not simply to find you a tenant, but to find you the right tenant. We take care to match Landlord's individual requirements to the needs and desire of Tenant's, often turning away unsuitable applicants until we are confident the most appropriate solution has been found.

refreshing change to work with an agent that cares

After a bad experience with a local agent I decided to list my property with Lanes Rentals. From the initial contact Lanes have worked in a completely professional manner and their lettings agent Claudia has been excellent. It is a refreshing change to work with an agent that seems to care about the clients and landlords alike. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone. Warren (Landlord)

look after my investment as if their own

As an independent agent I like the fact that I can speak to an owner of the business and trust them to look after my investment as if their own! As first time Landlords we were advised on the pros and cons of becoming landlords and Lanes found us a flat to rent with a professional tenant. Great return and definitely recommend Lanes

As an overseas landlord happy in safe hands

I have been using Lanes Rentals for the past 14 years. They have taken care of my property and provided excellent service. As an overseas landlord, knowing that my property is in safe hands is paramount. Last week I was in Milton Keynes searching for a second Buy-To-Let property, and Lanes really amazed me with how helpful and proactive they were, helping me scout and evaluate the rental potential of alternative properties. I know my investment will be in safe hands with Lanes. Special thanks to Laura, Dave, Mandy, Anne and the team for consistently exceeding my expectations. The epitome of professionalism, reliability, care and excellent service.

restored my faith in the letting agency business

Many thanks to Lanes Rentals of Milton Keynes, who have restored my faith in the letting agency business after having had a very bad experience with another local agency. During the 18 months that my property was let via Lanes, I received prompt, efficient and courteous service. It has been a pleasure to do business with Lanes and I recommend them to other prospective landlords. Steve Lord (Landlord)

Whole team have been excellent during my two years

The whole team have been excellent during my two years at Manor Lodge. From the viewing (thank you Simon), to the maintenance (thank you Paul), to the owner (thank you Dave). and to the various bits of admin support I needed and billing (thank you Anne and Mandy). Even though Simon Francis was the gentleman who showed me round, he stayed ion contact and was helpful on many occasions. The move out this week has also been done with flexibility and efficiency. Many thanks, Simon Thomas. MD, Volkswagon Group UK
Tenant Testimonial

cannot recommend the staff at Lanes highly enough

My husband and I are ex-pats from Texas relocating to the UK for 2 years. We chose Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes as our new home away from home. We found the perfect house for us that is being let by Lanes. My husbands first meeting with Debbie and each subsequent meeting, phone call and email have been handled professionally and expeditiously. Any minor issues we have had have been handled to our satisfaction each time. Debbie has been so very kind and helpful to this poor "fish out of water" and helped me with many question that are outside the scope of her professional obligations. We absolutely cannot recommend the staff at Lanes highly enough. This has been a tricky process, to say the least, and the entire staff at Lane's has made it smooth sailing!

Tenant Testimonial

absolutely brilliant service

My overall experience with Lanes Rentals has been good. I moved to MK year and half before and found a property close to my work at a great location. The flat belonged to Lanes. It absolutely brilliant and service was very professional too. Maintenance was on time and quick turnarounds helped me to fix any of the issues in the apartment. My interactions with Simon Francis and Debbie Lewis have been very nice and courteous. Debbie was very helpful during my contract termination and kept me posted about the updates and deposit transfer etc. Simon was very accommodating in all his conversations and during my initial requests prior i moved into the flat. I had to move to London for my work, if not i would have continued to live in the beautiful/well maintained flat at Milton Keynes. Thank you Debbie and Simon.
