First impressions really do count. Presenting your property well from the outset can make a big difference in attracting the right tenants and generating strong interest.
A clean, well-presented and well-maintained property is more appealing to prospective tenants and helps set the right expectations from the start. We’ll work with you to showcase your property at its best, helping it stand out in a competitive rental market.
The aim is to attract tenants who appreciate the property and are more likely to take pride in their home and look after it throughout their tenancy.
Before letting your property, it’s important to make sure everything is in place so you can rent it out with confidence.
If you’re an experienced landlord, many of these steps may already be familiar. If you’re new to letting, we can help guide you through the process and highlight the key things you need to consider.
This includes checking that your mortgage lender and insurer are aware that the property is being let and that you have the appropriate permissions and cover in place.
Getting things right from the outset can help avoid problems later and ensure your property is ready to let compliantly.
The right marketing can make all the difference when it comes to attracting attention and finding the right tenant.
We use a comprehensive marketing approach to give your property maximum exposure, combining leading property portals with our own website and professional property presentation.
Our fresh and proactive approach ensures your property is presented professionally and reaches as many suitable prospective tenants as possible across Chigwell and the surrounding areas.
More exposure means more interest, giving you the best opportunity to secure the right tenant.
Finding the right tenant is one of the most important parts of letting your property. We’ll help you assess suitable applicants and guide you through the selection process.
As part of our tenant referencing process, we carry out thorough identity, affordability, credit and background checks, helping us assess whether an applicant is suitable for your property and rental terms.
Our aim is to give you the information and reassurance you need to make an informed decision, while making the process as straightforward as possible.
Once your chosen tenant has successfully completed the referencing process, we’ll take care of the next steps to get everything ready for move-in.
Before the tenancy begins, the tenancy agreement will need to be completed and signed by both the landlord and tenant. We’ll also arrange for a detailed inventory and schedule of condition to be prepared, providing an accurate record of the property and its contents at the start of the tenancy.
Once all the necessary paperwork is in place and the tenancy requirements have been completed, your new tenant will be ready to move in — and you can enjoy the peace of mind that everything has been properly prepared from the outset.
Your responsibilities as a landlord will depend on the level of service you choose. We’ll make sure you understand what’s included and what remains your responsibility, so there are no surprises.
For landlords looking for a simpler, more hands-off experience, we recommend our Fully Managed service. Our team takes care of the day-to-day management of your property and keeps a close eye on changing legislation and compliance requirements.
With rules and regulations continuing to evolve, our Fully Managed service provides greater peace of mind, ongoing support and the reassurance that your property is being professionally managed.
When the tenancy comes to an end, your tenants will vacate the property and return the keys to us or the landlord, formally giving up possession.
We’ll check that the rent and any other amounts due under the tenancy have been settled and assess the condition of the property against the inventory and schedule of condition, allowing for fair wear and tear.
If everything is in order, the deposit can then be returned to the tenant in accordance with the relevant deposit protection scheme. Where there are any legitimate deductions, these will be discussed and dealt with through the appropriate process.
If you’re using our Fully Managed service, we’ll handle the process for you and help ensure the tenancy is brought to a smooth and compliant conclusion.

Legislation may change, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.
