Advice and guidance on renting your space
We will asses your property and advise on its current rental value and recommend
the standard of presentation required to attract a suitable quality tenant. We will
tailor a rental package by agreeing on a list of available services and ancillary
items to be included with the property (heating, lighting, furniture, networking
equipment, office cleaning, etc), thereby offering the most attractive proposition
to the marketplace and maximising your returns by making the best use of your existing
resources and assets.
Marketing
In addition to full colour displays and listings within our website, and clear and
concise national press advertising, we keep a register of quality tenants, who will
be informed of your property by regular telephone contact and direct mailing, backed
up by our full accompanied viewing service.
Tenant referencing
This begins verbally at the viewing stage. Then a reputable referencing agency (employed
by us) will provide an independent financial assessment including a credit search.
Protecting the condition of your property
A professional Inventory Clerk will provide a full Inventory and Schedule of Condition
of your property prior to commencement of the Let. The tenant is required to sign
an acceptance, and this original will be used to assess dilapidations on the date
of vacation.
Tenancy agreements
On your behalf, we will draft the required Tenancy Agreement (together with relevant
notices, if applicable) in accordance with current Legislation, to protect your
legal interests. We will collect a Security Deposit equivalent to one month’s rent,
together with the first month’s rent in advance. Rent will be collected per calendar
month thereafter.
Rent transfer and accounting
Our fully computerised "in house" system enables us to collect rent from the tenant,
and transfer accounts to the Landlord within five working days of receipt, accompanied
by a monthly statement of account.
Property management
We will agree with you on our scope of responsibility in arranging repairs. We can
use our Approved Contractors or those nominated by you. We will check your property
externally on a monthly basis, and internally on a two monthly basis, to ensure
that it is being looked after in accordance with the Tenancy Agreement. We will
provide written reports to you as required, and we will return to assess dilapidations
at the date of termination, in line with the original singed inventory. Outwith
general wear & tear, your tenant is responsible for relevant dilapidations where
applicable.
Insurance
You are required to provide relevant Buildings Insurance and Contents for your own
items. We can advise on landlord insurance policies as required.
Safety regulations
Our landlords are required to comply with Current Safety Regulations. We can advise
on your obligations regarding these regulations and if required, arrange to have
prepared a full health and safety report on your property.
