Whether you are looking to let your property or to rent one, Bairstow Eves can help. We offer three levels of service: -

• Let Only: - Bairstow Eves source a tenant and agree a tenancy, the Landlord manages the property during the tenancy collecting rent and dealing with repairs and maintenance issues
• Rent Collection: - As above but Bairstow Eves collects the rent each month and the Landlord continues to manage the property dealing with repairs and maintenance issues

As a Landlord we are able to advise you of the requirements of existing legislation in relation to, for example, gas and electrical safety, fire and furnishings regulations, smoke alarms and carbon monoxide safety, overseas taxation implications. In addition to legislative requirements, we will advise Landlords how to make their property ready for letting, the need and purpose of a comprehensive inventory, how we protect a tenants deposit under the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, and how to insure against rent arrears and damaged property.

As a tenant you can rest assured that we will always endeavour to make available good quality homes that meet with the requirements of existing legislation. Where Bairstow Eves are managing the property you will be offered a personable and customer friendly service from fully trained staff.
