Before a property can be let, there are several matters which the owner
will need to deal with to ensure that the tenancy runs smoothly, and
also that he/she complies with the law.
We provide summarised
information below. If you require further advice or assistance with any
matter, please do not hesitate to contact us:
We have found that a good relationship with Tenants is the key to a smooth-running tenancy. As Property Managers this relationship is our job, but it is important that the Tenants should feel comfortable in their temporary home, and that they are receiving value for their money. It follows therefore that a well presented and maintained property in a good decorative order will go towards this, whilst also achieving a higher rental figure for you. Tenants are also more inclined to treat such a property with greater respect.
