Residential Letting

There are many reasons why a property owner/investor/landlord would decide to enter the rental market. The finding of a tenant is often just a small step in a successful letting. There are many things to consider from legal issues and tenant referencing to gas certificates and ongoing maintenance of the property .

At Harveys Property Management we like to keep it simple fair and transparent. This is why we offer three types of service:

Option 1 – Tenant Find Service

This service is designed for experienced landlords who are happy with their legal requirements as a landlord and are happy to deal with the day to day management of their property.

We will advertise your property and then once a suitable tenant has been found we will reference/credit check them and prepare all legal documents including the appropriate tenancy agreement, the inventory, and any relevant notices. We will also arrange for the deposit monies to be placed within a deposit scheme.

You as the landlord will then be responsible for all the ongoing issues that may arise, rent collections, tenancy renewals, having the correct certificates in place etc.

For this service we charge just 50% of the first months rent.

Option 1 Includes

We have many years experience of this and know exactly the best place for your property to be seen. We will advertise your property on our website, social media sites and property portals i.e. Right Move etc for a one off fee. You will then be responsible for all viewings, sorting the tenancy, arranging an inventory, sorting the appropriate legal requirements, ongoing management, rent collections etc yourself.

For this service we charge a one off fee of £75.

Option 3 – Key Holder Service

By choosing this option, we will hold a set of keys to arrange any 24 hour emergency repairs, regular inspections and emergency access while you are away from the property. You can be assured that any problems will be dealt with in an efficient and professional manner.
