TENANT FINDING

The London lettings market moves at lightning speed - the A&M Team are ready with the enthusiasm, intel, and adaptability to match that energy.

HMO and Selective Licensing: A High number of properties in Southeast London are now subject to Selective Licensing schemes. The Alex & Matteo Team will be able to advise on if and how this will impact your property and help ensure that your licenses meet minimum legal requirements in order to avoid future issues.

Marketing: We live in a place and an age where property searches begin almost exclusively online. Alex & Matteo know how to produce the most engaging and attention-grabbing content and where to place it for maximum results. We combine professional photography, video tours, social media outreach, referral networks, SEO, and exposure on all major property portals with localised physical marketing such as leaflet drops and large format advertisements in high footfall areas to reach qualified tenants fast.

Accompanied Viewings: Our initial screening process ensures we only offer viewings to qualified potential applicants, and strategic scheduling minimises any interruption to the current tenants. Our skilled lettings team will learn the ins and outs of your property so each potential tenant walks away from their viewing with all the information they need for an informed and timely decision.

Vetting and Referencing: We adhere to best practice in candidate checks. While it is ultimately the landlord's decision whether to proceed with a tenant, we will provide you with a first class referencing report from a reputable firm alongside our expert assessment as to the suitability of the applicant.
