Landlord Information
Full Management Service
Specialist Letting Agency provides a full property
management service to landlords wishing to let out their property.
The standard fee for the management is taken as a percentage of
the gross rents due for the period of the tenancy.
This comprehensive service includes
the following tasks:
Visiting the property, appraising
the letting potential and advising you about the general aspects
of letting.
Marketing and advertising your property.
We advertise locally, on our website and circulate
property details to applicants already
registered to us.
Making arrangements for potential
tenants to view your property, usually with the accompaniment of
one of our staff.
Carrying out the initial vetting
of potential tenants.

Carrying out a full property inspection
and inventory check at the end of the tenancy and advising the

based scheme. The property will be checked for unfair wear and
tear before the deposit is returned to the vacating tenant.

for the period. Payments will be made by direct bank transfer and
a detailed rent statement will be forwarded to the landlord.
