Property Letting - Finding Tenants

EL&M will find suitable tenants for residential property and will set up a tenancy by means of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement. We make no charges for setting up a tenancy and do not charge VAT.

This service includes -

• A preliminary assessment of the property and free advice aimed at optimising its letting potential;
• A rental recommendation, marketing advice and information on preliminary legal requirements;
• Obtaining the necessary Energy Performance Certificate and Landlord's Gas Safety Certificate. We have arrangements with local contractors who can supply these items for Landlords at competitive rates;
• Preparation of letting particulars- arranging advertising and issuing information;
• Conducting accompanied viewings of property;
• Taking tenancy applications and taking up references, including in-house tenant verification checks using authorised web-based enquiry systems;
• Reporting to Landlords in writing with recommendations;
• Drawing up a tenancy agreement and completing its formalities;
• Collecting the Deposit (if taken) and making it over to the Landlord.

Ancilliary Services

Records of Condition - We will prepare a documented record of the condition of a property at the start of any tenancy with a schedule of fixtures and fittings and supporting photographs, if asked to do so. Such documents are important in the context of Tenants' Deposit Protection legislation. A charge is made for the preparation of a Record if it is an addition to the basic "Tenant Finder" service.

Tenants' Deposits - these are protected by law. We offer to take care of Tenants' Deposits for Landlords and to deal with the necessary paperwork. We make a modest one-off charge if we are asked to administer a Tenant's Deposit.

Full Management Service

Within the Full Management option, we will find Tenants for property, as above and without making a separate charge. Additionally, we will prepare a Record of Condition, administer the Tenant's deposit, collect the rent, carry out periodic property inspections, deal with administration matters of a recurring nature, arrange for minor repairs to be carried out and deal with day-to-day enquiries and issues. We do not deal with insurance. We charge a commission on rents received for the management part of this function. Further details are available on enquiry.
