Mixing house sales with letting homes is an unhealthy mix and over the past few years we have been passed complete letting departments from Estate Agents attempting to let and sell homes, a service that does not work. We do not sell houses. When you instruct us, you receive independent trained advice without bias, with a team of 5 lettings specialists covering all aspects of letting and managing your home.

Our town centre office, unique internet based lettings web site with immediate text and emails to prospective tenants as well as our extensive tenant data base puts us at the cutting edge when it comes to securing you a suitable tenant.

Letting someone's home is the easier part, doing it right, is the harder. We have spent many years fine tuning our service and with more and more regulations, it is more important now than ever to do the job correctly.
Our system is unique and deals solely with property letting and management, therefore concentrating all of our efforts on your most valuable asset. Our office runs in accordance with the demands of today, our service is in operation to assist in protecting the landlord and achieve the maximum level of security to provide peace of mind.

The relationship between letting agent and landlord can last for several years, which makes choosing the right agent all the more important.
This decision should not be taken lightly, and should not be based solely on price but rather on the value for money and service provided.
Increasingly landlords are realising that a professional managing agents can minimise losses and void periods, maximising their investment.
We aim to provide peace of mind that their property is being managed, routine property visits are carried out, rent is collected and accounted to the landlord on a regular basis. Emphasis is also placed on constantly updating our legal procedures, ensuring that the ever changing legislation is strictly adhered to.

Whilst recognising the important role that modern technology can play in property management, we firmly believe that our most valuable asset is our team, many of which have been with the company for several years and are experienced in their different fields with excellent local knowledge. We place great value on this and combined with our cutting edge technology we believe we provide an unequalled service.

When tenants look to rent, it is no longer acceptable to place an advert in the local newsagents or by word of mouth. Tenants require the assurance that they are able to find a property quickly and with little fuss but most importantly from an agent they can trust and ensure that their deposit is safe and in the event of any problems, they will be dealt with promptly. They invariably want the protection that an agent can provide including their deposit being guaranteed safe and any property complying with all the required safety regulations. An agent offering the widest selection of properties provides the widest selection of tenants.

We are the area's No 1 letting specialist and do not offer estate agency services. Our interests are concentrated on managing your property; we are not distracted by other forms of business such as pursuing sales commissions. Any agent handling your property must be a specialist; three estate agents have already referred their lettings business to us due to clashes between their letting and estate agency departments. As a member of the National Association of Estate Agents, we must comply with their conditions and professional indemnity requirements, (many agents do not even have insurance).

Our competitive fees are commensurate with the support you require and assure you of our dedication to protecting your interests. Do not choose your letting agent on fees alone. The service is vitally important; mistakes can lead to large fines and imprisonment.
