Estate agents in SG13 8FW

Well, what can we say?

It seems a little strange to be talking all about us, when really and truly, our business is all about you: your home, your move and your experience. But to give you some background: Shepherd's first opened in Hertford on Valentines Day 1976 making us Hertford's longest established estate agency and with over 1,000 5 Star reviews for our home-selling service we have more positive client comment than all the other Hertford estate agents combined.

Maximising your rental yield...

...whilst minimising your risk. As a landlord, it is not enough simply to achieve the best possible rent for your property. You also want to ensure the keys to your precious asset are in the hands of a responsible tenant. Equally important, you need to avoid costly vacant periods ('voids') between tenancies.

That's why you need a lettings agent you can depend on and you will find there is no one better than Shepherds who have been successfully letting clients' properties since 1992 - a good deal longer than most. A fully-fledged member of the ARLA and NAEA governing bodies, our hardworking lettings team, headed by Steve Whyman, enjoys a well-deserved reputation for professionalism and integrity.

Specialising in Hertford and the surrounding villages, we have extensive knowledge of the local property rental market and offer a high standard of both furnished and unfurnished accommodation on behalf of our clients.

The Shepherds team provides a comprehensive property management service, from finding a tenant - warranty referencing, preparation of tenancy documents, check-in, collection of rent and inspections - through to eventual check out. This is a service that many of our landlord clients have relied on for more than two decades!

Steven Oates opened its doors over 30 years ago and during that time it has earned a reputation as Hertford's most established and trusted estate agent. Our lettings team has a wealth of experience and will care for your property as though it were our own.

Our specialist lettings consultants will give you an honest rental appraisal supported by comparables so you know exactly how much rental income you can achieve. We always strive to obtain the highest rent possible, whilst ensuring your tenant is reliable and of high standards to ensure your investment is managed most effectively.
