Landlord and tenant services
For most landlords the priority is to locate a suitable tenant for their property, one who'll remain for a lengthy period, whilst taking good care of the property, adhering to the terms of the tenancy agreement, and paying the rent on time each month.
We can help by ensuring that any agreement is legal, and conforms to the Office of Fair Trading guidelines.
Should things go wrong, we can step in to ensure that the correct notices are served quickly and proceedings commenced as soon as possible, thereby protecting your investment and rental income.
