A void month costs more than a rent concession, and a bad tenant costs more than a void. Those two facts decide almost every letting decision, and they are why we would rather present you a considered tenant in three weeks than a signature in three days.
Pricing comes first. We set the asking rent against comparable units currently transacting in the same building or community, not against the optimistic figure the last agent quoted. Where the market has moved against a unit, we say so before it is listed rather than after two months of silence.
Screening is the part most agents skip. We verify identity and standing, look at the tenant's ability to carry the full term rather than the first cheque, and put the reasoning in front of you before you decide.
What the mandate covers
- Rental valuation against current comparable transactions
- Marketing and viewing management
- Tenant identification, screening and reference checks
- Contract drafting, attestation and registration
- Cheque structure and handover arrangement
- Renewals, rent review and service of notice
- Coordination of make-good between tenancies
How we work a letting
Priced before it is marketed
We agree the asking rent and the floor with you at the outset, so no offer arrives that neither of us is prepared for.
Presented, not broadcast
Enquiries are qualified before a viewing is arranged. Your tenant does not need to be found by the largest possible number of people.
Documented properly
Contract, attestation, cheques and handover recorded together, so a dispute two years from now has an answer on file.
What you should expect
A realistic rent, a tenant whose position we can explain to you, and a contract that has been attested and registered rather than merely signed.
