Scott Estates will work with you, the Landlord, to ensure a straightforward, stress-free and rewarding experience from start to end. We will endeavour to meet your individual needs and requirements to ensure that we tailor our services accordingly.
With 30 years experience within the letting industry, we will seek to allocate the most suitable Tenant for you and your property as quickly as we can, by using our extensive data base of applicants ready to move into their dream home.
All our clients are in safe hands, as we are members of the ARLA Propertymark ensuring maximum protection for clients; offering Client Money Protection, Professional Indemnity Insurance and we are members on an independent redress scheme. As members, we are fully up-to date with the continuous changes in legislation. We also have access to a fully dedicated legal team.
Our friendly team will work tirelessly to attract the widest possible audience, via social media, 'To Let' boards and market leading property websites.
We will give you the relevant guidance! But did you know that in most cases, you should advise your mortgage lender of your plans to let your property and you may also require permission from the Freeholder if you own your flat.
We aim to remove all the stress that comes with letting a property, by accompanying prospective tenants on viewings, carrying out tenant referencing including credit / employment checks and obtaining existing Landlord references.
Our experience in dealing with commercial and private Landlords means that we are confident our services can be suited to match each Landlord's personal requirement.
When a suitable applicant is secured, all appropriate monies will be collected in advance and a move in appointment is agreed. Once the Tenancy Agreement is signed and completed a schedule of the condition will be produced and presented to both Tenant and Landlord.
As a Propertymark Protected firm our client handling procedures are covered in our Conduct and Membership Rules which you can read here www.propertymark.co.uk/working-in-the-industry/member-requirements.
We also have a full repair and maintenance call out service, in order to protect the very fabric of your home.
Our most popular service to Landlords is the introduction starter level, where we locate and secure suitable Tenants bespoke to your property. All Tenants are referenced and then interviewed. Subject to positive results, we report to our Clients and subject to their approval offer the property. Upon instructions to proceed we then produce the tenancy agreement, carry out a digital survey recording the condition of the property at the moment of the move in (with printed copies passed to both parties), arrange and insure the deposit, serve the prescribed information to tenants and produce to the Landlord a compliant copy template for the future rent reminders and then finally produce copy keys to complete the process.
It is then handed back for the Landlord to take over control. All this service for just 72% inclusive of VAT of the months rent as commission and £75.00 inc VAT per document mentioned in the above process. Isn't it time you considered a new approach?
