LET ONLY - A STEP by
STEP GUIDE.
Let Only is a service either offered on its own or as
the first part of our more comprehensive Full Management
Service.
VISIT
AND AGREE RENTAL VALUE.
At White Letting, we like to visit your property personally
to take details of the accommodation and agree a rental
valuation, which will include ground rents or service
charges but exclude council tax and utilities. We will
answer any questions you may have at this time.
FIND
TENANT, VIEWINGS, DEPOSIT AND REFERENCES.
To help us find you a suitable tenant, internal and external
digital photographs will be taken for immediate upload
onto our web site with a clear description of the property.
We will check our tenant’s waiting list before placing
advertising or using ‘To Let’ boards if required.
While accompanied tenant viewings are arranged with a
member of our team, if you prefer, you can be included
at this stage should you wish to meet the potential candidate.
Interested tenants are then:
-
Given
an application form.
-
Asked to pay a deposit equivalent to one calendar month
along with one month’s rent.
-
Asked
to provide references before a credit check is carried
out - if for any reason the references are less than
acceptable, we will ask for a guarantor who must also
be approved.
We
always do our utmost to ensure that properties in our
care are never let to unsuitable applicants.
NOTICES AND AGREEMENTS.
A detailed tenancy agreement will be prepared by the White
Letting team for tenants to sign. We will sign the agreement
on your behalf. Normally an agreement is prepared for
an initial fixed period of six months. After the first
six months, the tenancy will run on a month by month basis
until notice to quit is served. Longer terms are arranged
if required.
MOVE
TENANT IN AND RENT COLLECTION.
We will agree a suitable date with you for the tenant
to move in and make arrangements for how you prefer the
rent to be paid. If you go on to use our Full Management
Service, payment will be made by direct debit from the
tenant to our fully insured clients’ account. Keys
will be handed over and the tenant asked to sign for them.
Council, gas and electricity suppliers are provided with
tenant details, the dates they are due to move in, and
up to date meter readings.
If
the Let Only service is all you have commissioned us to
provide, this completes our service to you and your tenant.
