Landlord services

People become landlords for a number of reasons, whether it's as a business investment, as a hobby, through an inheritance or a temporary move away from the area. That's why we offer three levels of service to our landlords so you can choose what best meets your needs.

Below is a summary of the services that we provide for each option as well as our fees (service level fees are a percentage of the rental income including VAT).

We are in a redress scheme operated by The Property Ombudsman Scheme and Client Money is protected in a scheme operated by Propertymark.
