We can advise on the purchase of a property as an investment, providing an estimate of the potential rental value

Rental Assessment

We carry out a market appraisal of your property to provide an accurate rental value and the most suitable type of tenant. We will agree with you any restrictions

We will carry out identity and residency checks on all applicants. We shall obtain a credit reference and take up employer and current Landlord references, which can be inspected by you. For financially weak but otherwise acceptable applicants we will either ask for a guarantor or obtain full settlement in advance of the tenancy commencing. Subject to your approval, credit referencing and a guarantor we will accept applicants with Housing Benefits.
