Lettings & Property Management

Landlord services that actually work

Whether you’re letting for the first time or managing a portfolio, our lettings teams across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire can help you find good tenants and keep things running smoothly.

How We Can Help

Letting a property takes more than putting it online

Finding the right tenant, setting the right rent and handling what follows takes local knowledge and experience. Our lettings teams have been doing this across Milton Keynes, Bletchley, Tring and Hemel Hempstead for over 35 years.

Whether you want us to find a tenant and step back, or take care of everything including management and maintenance, we have a service to suit.

What’s Included

What we do for landlords

From the first valuation through to ongoing management, here’s how we support you.

Rental valuation

We’ll visit your property, assess the local rental market and provide an honest rental figure, with no obligation and no charge.

Marketing & viewings

We include professional photography, listings across all major property portals and viewings handled by an experienced full-time team member.

Tenant referencing

We carry out thorough checks on every prospective tenant, including employment, income, credit history and previous landlord references.

Tenancy setup

We prepare the tenancy agreement, register the deposit and manage all legal paperwork required before the tenancy begins.

Rent collection

We collect rent on your behalf and keep you fully updated, ensuring you are paid on time each month.

Property management

For fully managed properties, we handle maintenance, repairs, inspections and all ongoing communication with your tenants.

Service options

Choose the level of involvement that suits you

We offer three service levels. Which one is right for you depends on how hands-on you want to be.

Option 1

Tenant Find

We market the property, conduct viewings, carry out referencing and set up the tenancy. After that, you manage the property yourself.

  • Best for experienced landlords who are comfortable managing their own properties and tenancies directly.

Option 2

Rent Collection

Everything included in Tenant Find, plus we collect the rent and manage the ongoing financial administration each month.

  • Best for: landlords who want income managed but prefer to handle day-to-day issues themselves.

Option 3

Fully Managed

We handle everything — from finding tenants and collecting rent to maintenance, inspections and tenant communication throughout the tenancy.

  • Best for: landlords who want to let their property with minimal day-to-day involvement.

Full fee information is available on request. Speak to your nearest branch for a breakdown specific to your property.

Getting tenants in

Your property, presented properly

First impressions matter in the rental market. We photograph every property professionally, write an accurate description and list it across Rightmove, OnTheMarket, Zoopla and PrimeLocation — as well as matching it against tenants already registered with us.

Viewings are attended by a full-time member of our lettings team. We give feedback after every appointment and keep you informed throughout.

Referencing & tenancy setup

Checking tenants properly before they move in

We carry out thorough checks on all prospective tenants, including employment verification, affordability assessment, credit history and references from previous landlords where available.

Once referencing is complete, we prepare the tenancy agreement, collect the deposit and register it with a government-approved scheme, and carry out an inventory and check-in at the start of the tenancy.

Ongoing management

We stay involved — if you want us to

For fully managed landlords, we act as the point of contact for tenants during the tenancy. We handle maintenance requests, coordinate repairs with trusted contractors, carry out periodic inspections and deal with the day-to-day issues that come up.

You’ll be kept informed of anything significant, but you won’t need to field calls from tenants or spend time chasing tradespeople.

Maintenance & repairs

Maintenance handled locally, not by a call centre.

Your tenants can report issues 24 hours a day through our online system. It walks them through a few questions to identify the problem, offers advice on containing it, and captures photos and appliance details, so our local contractors arrive prepared and call-out charges stay down. We do not outsource maintenance to a third party: every report is dealt with by the lettings team in your local branch.

Landlord compliance

Keeping on top of your legal responsibilities

Landlord legislation has changed considerably in recent years. There are a number of legal requirements to meet before and during a tenancy — including gas safety, electrical safety, EPCs, smoke and CO alarms, and tenancy deposit rules.

We can guide you through the relevant requirements as part of the letting process and help arrange the certificates and checks your property needs. We don’t give legal advice, but we can flag what’s needed and help you stay on the right side of things.

Local lettings expertise

We know the rental market in these areas

Rental demand, achievable rents and void periods vary considerably across our patch. Setting the right rent means knowing what’s actually being agreed locally — not just what’s listed.

Our teams are based in the areas they cover. If you’re not sure what your property would achieve in the current market, a free rental valuation is a good place to start.

Milton Keynes
Strong rental demand from professionals, families and commuters. Good yields across a range of property types.

Bletchley
Popular with tenants looking for good value while staying close to Central Milton Keynes, with a wide mix of housing and local amenities.

Tring
High demand, limited rental stock. Tenants often relocating from London. Short void periods when priced correctly.

Hemel Hempstead
Broad tenant pool, good motorway links. Consistent demand from families and professionals throughout the year.
