Landlords - Letting with Newton King

  • paragraph

    Let us make your rental property work harder.
    image cannot be displayed

    Becoming a landlord or investing in buy-to-let property can be a great way of generating a regular income and securing your financial future. It can also be a minefield of ever changing rules and regulations which could be a huge drain on your precious time and energy, so more and more landlords now take the wise choice of handing over the responsibility to a reputable agent who can not only manage their property, they can also help to keep owners on the right side of the law and make being a landlord a whole lot more satisfying and stress-free.

    Here at Newton King, we understand landlord's needs. You want your property to produce a continuous yield and know that your property is being well cared for at all times. You want to know that you are up-to-date with your legal responsibilities and that there is always someone for your tenants to contact (especially when you're just sitting down to your Sunday dinner).

    You also want to know that your property has been accurately valued and that you are not losing out on valuable income, so our expert valuers provide accurate and up-to-date rental appraisals that can also help identify ways to enhance your properties value. We can also offer helpful advice on appropriate fixtures, fittings and furniture that are within safety regulations.

  • paragraph

    We give you choices.
    image cannot be displayed

    Occasionally landlords like to remain "hands-on" and some even enjoy a bit of DIY and are happy to pitch up on a cold wet windy day with tool kit and soldering iron to fix a leaky pipe. However, even more are very happy to hand over the responsibility and leave it to the experts, so we give landlords the option to choose their own level of care.

    Our landlord contracts may include:

    • Tenant Find only
    • Deposit Protection Scheme registration
    • Rent collection
    • Tenant referencing
    • Guarantor checks
    • Property management
    • Tenancy Agreements
    • Maintenance schedules

    We make our landlord contracts fit your requirements and not our own and offer landlords complete flexibility. Why let being a landlord give you a headache when you can relax and let us do the hard work for you?

    With stricter rental rules and regulations constantly being introduced, leaving it to chance could leave you vulnerable to prosecution or hefty fines so let us keep you safe and legally compliant.

  • paragraph

    Your most valuable possession deserves the best.
    image cannot be displayed

    We know how much you have invested in your rental property so we want to take good care of it. By ensuring we conduct thorough tenant checks and regular inspections, we do everything possible to keep your property at its best and continue earning you a return on your investment. Quality property attracts quality tenants, who are more likely to take better care of your investment so it makes good financial sense to keep yours in tiptop condition.

    Our trusted and verified repair and maintenance contractors help keep your costs down and within your landlord responsibilities. Emergency call outs can be a nasty pain in the wallet but by keeping on top of maintenance and developing great relationships with your tenants, we can help stop small problems becoming huge ones.

    Plus, our experience tells us that keeping on top of maintenance keeps tenants happy and helps retain them for longer and all importantly, continue paying you rent. It is more cost effective to have longer tenancies and for tenants to want to renew rather than find new tenants at the end of each tenancy, so we work hard to help keep you property fully tenanted and working hard all year round.

    Why not book your free, no obligation rental appraisal today and find out how we can make being a landlord a lot more satisfying?

Renting with Newton King

  • paragraph

    Looking for your perfect rental property?
    image cannot be displayed

    So you've made the decision to rent, well you are certainly not alone. The rental market in Taunton is an extremely busy one and it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the whole process. Here at Newton King, we guide you carefully through the ins and outs, to help you find your perfect new rental property, without making a huge a drama out of it.

    We make the entire process as simple and stress-free as possible and our helpful team of rental experts have many years of experience in this field and are more than happy to explain each step clearly along the way, allowing you to make your own informed property choices.

    We want to create lasting tenancies that work for all parties, so laying the foundations for a long and happy relationship is crucial. We want to look after you for as long as possible and for you to come back to us in the future so we put in that extra bit of time and effort from day one.

    We're expert matchmakers at Newton King and work hard to find you the dream home you desire. Making sure we get this right helps ensure longer lasting tenancies which save you money. Moving home can be expensive, even when you rent, so we do everything we can to find you just the right property. We don't try and talk you into an unsuitable property, as we know from our years of experience that making sure tenants are 100% happy is the best way to keep everyone happy.

    Once registered with us, we will keep you right up-to-date with all of our new rental properties as soon as they become available (and often before they're even ready to market) so you'll never miss out on a potential property. We're happy to arrange viewings at a time to suit you, even outside of office hours and at the weekend, plus we never rush you and allow plenty of time for you to make your decision.

  • paragraph

    You've found your perfect home...
    image cannot be displayed

    What happens next?

    As responsible agents, we need to carry out tenant checks. We have a duty of care to landlords and their properties, plus if this is your first time renting, or leaving home, there may be some aspects of renting that you may not be aware of so our rent affordability check list may also help you select a property that will allow you to live comfortably whilst still being able to pay rent and household bills.

    Tenant checks are discreet and confidential and include:

    • Credit Check
    • Previous Landlord Reference (if applicable or character reference).
    • Income
    • Employment
    • Guarantor (if required)

    Fees are payable for tenant checks and the costs are published on our website, alongside each set of property details.

    Deposits are usually the equivalent of 6 weeks rent and are registered with a government backed Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS) for your security, should any dispute arise at the end of your tenancy. You will be informed whether it will be managed by us or an individual lord, as this is may vary with specific properties.

    Contracts

    We supply legally compliant Tenancy Agreements to keep you safe and are more than happy to talk you through them if there are any bits you are unsure of. Occasionally, a landlord may supply his or her own agreement. We would then advise you to have it independently checked as we cannot guarantee its accuracy. We would always make sure you are aware of this if applicable.

    Your tenancy agreement will also detail areas that are yours, ours or your landlord's responsibility. Please ask us if there are any points you are unsure of before signing your agreement. We can also help explain what you can and can't do to your rental property to make it feel more like "home".

  • paragraph

    It's moving day...
    image cannot be displayed

    So all the paperwork is completed and you have the keys in your hand, ready to start moving in. It would be great if you could just move in and relax straight away but we recommend that you go through a few small things before you put your feet up, as they could save you a lot of time and effort in the future.

    • Check your inventory thoroughly.
    • Read all the meters and call the suppliers
    • Locate the water stopcock and fuse box
    • Ensure the boiler instructions are present
    • Make sure the Gas and Electric Safety Certificates are in date

    These simple tasks won't take you long but could make your life a lot simpler later on.

    Always check the inventory thoroughly. If any items are either missing or of a sub-standard condition, they must be reported straight away to avoid disputes. Plus it is a good idea to have a good look around the property and take a note and photograph of any damage or marks and let us know straight away.

    Once you have read your meters, call the existing energy supplier and water company and give them your readings and they will create new accounts for you.

    Don't forget, you will also need to obtain a television license and let the local council know your details for council tax.

    It is always a good idea to locate things like stopcocks, fuse boxes and boiler instructions before you move your belongings in, as it can be difficult to find them in hurry once the cupboards are full.

    Although we do our very best to ensure landlords keep up-to-date with their legal responsibilities, it always worth checking that all the safety certificates are up-to-date.

    So you're finally home and settled in.

    Throughout your tenancy, we're always just a phone call away. We like to keep in touch but respect your privacy so will always call and give you plenty of notice if we need to pop in for an inspection or to carry out maintenance work.

    Testimonials from Landlords

    • Landlord Testimonial

      thank you so much for looking after us
      Hi. Just a quick note to say thank you so much for looking after us and our property so well. As you know, having always previously let our property ourselves and having experienced the 'dead eyed' offerings of some of the larger agents we were nervous of letting go of the reins and handing a property that we love over to an agent to manage. We clearly struck lucky with you - human beings on the end of a phone and a thoroughly professional and practical service! Well done to you and the rest of the team. Kindest Regards Andrew Combes

    • Landlord Testimonial

      We would highly recommend Newton King
      We approached Newton King when our current agents failed to find a tenant for our property after advertising for several weeks. We had received a flyer through the vacant property letter box offering a free management service for 6 months if we would give them a chance to find a tenant - basically we had nothing to lose! Josh from Newton King met us at the property the following day and a tenant was found within a few days. Amazing!! We have found Josh at Newton King to be extremely professional and what has impressed us most is that he is ALWAYS available it seems. We have had email responses from him at 0745 and also 2130. Their business is open until 1900 each weekday and open all day Saturday. These extended hours have truly impressed us as it meets the needs of both landlord and also tenant. The telephone is answered immediately at the office and everyone we have spoken to at Newton King has been anxious to help. We have received quick responses to all questions and feel confident that our property is in good hands. We would highly recommend Newton King to anyone looking for a superior lettings agency.

    • Landlord Testimonial

      above and beyond my expectations
      I would like to thank you and the team at Newton King once again for a service that was above and beyond my expectations. I approached you for the second time recently with a view to letting a property I was in the process of buying. Before completing on the property, you had potential viewers booked in and found me a brilliant tenant who moved in only two days after completion. All of this was done without access until the afternoon of completion. I would highly recommend you and your team Josh to any Landlord looking for a professional service from an Agent willing to go the extra mile. Thanks again, Best Matt

        we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you
        Hi Mike, Dave and I would like to thank you and your team for selling our house so quickly (twice!) and for always being professional, friendly and helpful. Josh worked so hard to make sure it all went through as quickly and smoothly as possible and acted very quickly when our first sale fell through and he managed to get it sold again within the day! As I said to Josh the other day, you have been the nicest and most pleasant estate agent we have ever dealt with and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you. Best wishes Shirley and David

      • Seller Testimonial

        thank you
        Dear Mike, Josh and Newton King team. Just a note to say thank you for all your efforts in the successful sale of our property at Buckland St. Mary. We really did appreciate your advice, knowledge and support and would feel very confident in recommending Newton King to our family and friends! With kind regards, Jane and Stephen

        We would highly recommend you to anyone
        Dear Mike and Josh, We have now been in our new home for a month and have finally started to clear all of the boxes. Sorry it's taken a while, but we just wanted to say a massive thank you. All of your help and support through the selling and buying process was of huge help and comfort. I sincerely wish that we had signed to you in the first instance. You were so much more honest and approachable to another estate agent we had used. Massive thank you to Josh for all the effort and hard work, not to mention all of the phone calls chasing and keeping us up to date. We would highly recommend you to anyone. Thanks again, Matt and Sam
