Michael Hardy, Wokingham

There are many pitfalls, so seek professional help.

Arrange an appointment with Michael Hardy Lettings Limited.

We will visit your property to give advice on the current rent achievable based on our experience and knowledge of the property letting market.

We will require you to provide us with documentary evidence that you are the legal owner of the property or have the authority to enter into a tenancy for the property on the owner's behalf.

We will give you advice regarding the presentation of the property including items that should or should not remain. We will also answer any questions you may have about becoming a Landlord.

You will need to decide which of our services you require. This will depend upon your own circumstances and whether you will be living near the property, or can spare the time to take care of any matters that might arise.

We are the only transparent agent in Wokingham advertising on the Estate Agents and Residential Letting's review web site called

www. allagents.co.uk this means we cannot adjust the reviews.

Why not check this out for yourself.

Acting on your instructions we will prepare details of the property and may place advertisements, including photographs in the press.

We will also circulate your property details to relocation agencies and will place details of your property on our website (www.michael-hardy. co.uk).

People from all over the world can access our website.

It is our experience that people re-locating from abroad or from elsewhere in the United Kingdom, and who require rented property are increasingly making use of the internet.

We also maintain our own list of prospective Tenants. Having received instructions from a Landlord, we may, with your consent place a "To Let" board outside the property.

This identifies that the property is on the market to both passers by and friends or neighbours.

It is also helpful to an applicant, who has come from outside the area, to identify the property.

Selecting the right Tenant The introduction of a qualified and responsible Tenant is the first step to ensuring a successful tenancy.

Michael Hardy representatives meet all applicants personally and will introduce them to properties which are specially selected to meet their requirements.

Once the letting of the property has been entrusted to Michael Hardy Lettings Limited we will ask you to provide a key to the property which will be kept at our office to enable us to show over prospective Tenants to the property as quickly as possible, thus ensuring maximum efficiency in obtaining a Tenant.

If you have a burglar alarm installed we will require the code.
