    * Regular and prominent advertising in local publications read by prospective tenants.

    Completing the process
    Once a suitable tenant is found we will ensure all the legal paperwork is produced including an Inventory. We will hold the deposit for you and register it with one of the UK's accredited schemes.
    End Of Tenancy
    Unlike many other Agents' Letting Only service's our involvement does not stop when the tenants move in. We carry out a checkout inspection at the end of the tenancy and with yours and the tenants input we will assess any deductions that need to be made. The checkout is often the most contentious issue so by employing us as your Agents we will take that stress away from you.
