Non-Managed Lettings Service

Our Non-Managed Lettings Service package includes points (1) to (9) above, and is more usually suited to those Landlords who do not wish to deal with the initial letting of the property but wish to oversee the tenancy once the property is has been occupied.

Tenancy Deposit Scheme

On the 6th April 2007, the Government introduced legislation requiring all landlords to register all tenant’s security deposits paid after that date with an approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme to ensure that any disputes over the deposit are dealt with swiftly, inexpensively and impartially.

The schemes provide:

• Protection for the tenant’s deposit during the tenancy
• The safe return of the deposit at the end of the tenancy if there is not dispute between the landlord and the tenant
• An impartial service to resolve such disputes

We are able to advise Landlords on the most appropriate deposit scheme, register the deposit and arrange for its return.  This service can be provided as part of one of our lettings schemes, or it can be done on a one-off basis for a fee of £50 plus VAT.
