Our agents employ a range of marketing tools to ensure your property gets all the attention it deserves.The Real Property Experts can display your property on websites such as Rightmove, Zoopla, and On the Market through our connections.
We use our window to attract walk-in prospects in addition to the numerous highly visible and strategically placed “To Let” boards in the area.
By choosing The Real Property Experts to manage your property, we can ensure that your listing will receive maximum publicity using a combination of these methods, reinforced by daily contact with pre-vetted prospective tenants from our database.
Following an offer from prospective tenants, we provide you with an information pack containing all their details. Our agents at The Real Property Experts will check their current situation, employment status, who intends to move in and for how long. The decision is up to you as the landlord whether you wish to proceed and accept their offer or not. If you refuse the offer, viewings will resume until a suitable tenant is found.
Once you as the landlord have accepted an offer, The Real Property Experts will go ahead and ask for a holding deposit from the applicants and ask them to visit the office with their Right to Rent ID which will be checked and copied. We will also start the referencing process to check the tenant’s identity, place of work, earnings, and credit history. Meanwhile, we will postpone any viewing until all checks have been completed.
The Real Property Experts use an independent referencing company to report suitability and creditworthiness, including payment history on any previous lending and any adverse credit. Prospective tenants’ identity is also verified, as is their right to live and work in the UK. We will contact their previous landlords to provide us with a reference on their last contract. We compile information from various sources such as Experian and Equifax into a report that indicates whether they have passed or failed. Our experts will advise you based on the report as to the suitability of a tenant.
Following the detailed checks, The Real Property Experts will arrange for the tenancy agreement to be drawn up and signed by all parties. Tenants are asked to pay the agreed security deposit and rent. Once we receive the funds, our agents will hand over the keys and the move-in process will begin.
Following government guidelines, all deposits are protected in Government approved deposit scheme.
Before the tenant moves into the property, it is advised that an inventory/ Schedule of Condition process is carried out. This is to note the cosmetic condition and content of the letting. Good quality photographs for future reference should support this descriptive information.
Depending on whether an inventory was taken, the clerk will meet the tenant at the property to conduct the check-in process. Meter reading will be taken, and the keys will be photographed and then handed to the tenant. If you have chosen to have the property managed by The Real Property Experts, we will also retain a set of keys at our office.
Within a week, we will send the tenants the inventory documents to agree and sign with any amendments.
