LETTING YOUR PROPERTY

Ashton Roberts recognise that a rental investment is a valuable asset and any serious property investor will appreciate the importance of using an experienced letting agent adequately equipped and qualified to handle matters effectively on their behalf.

We are members of ARLA (Association of Residential Letting Agents), the industry’s regulatory body
A combination of our unquestionable track record, our dynamic approach to marketing and extensive experience of what it takes to effectively let and manage a property, should provide any discerning landlord with the confidence that their rental investment will be in safe hands.
As members of ARLA, we attend regular training sessions to update our knowledge, so that we can provide reliable advice.

Tenants’ deposits are placed in the ‘Tenancy Deposit Scheme’.

We offer 2 different levels of service, let only, or a comprehensive service for total peace of mind.

Free, no obligation, market appraisal

When we initially assess a property we indicate what we believe to be a realistic rent, depending on current market conditions. We are happy to advise you on any improvements which will make your property easier to rent or would secure a higher rent.

Marketing

We will take a number of colour photographs and select the best. We record room sizes and all the special features. Your property will be registered on our own website, www.ashtonroberts.co.uk, the UK’s number 1 property website, www.rightmove.co.uk, Prime Location and Find-a-Property
We will display your property in the window of our highly visible High Street offices.
With your permission, we will erect a distinctive ‘Ashton Roberts’ ‘To Let’ board. It advertises your property 24 hours a day and will generate a significant number of enquiries.

Tenants

Finding the right tenant for a property is fundamental. We start by establishing the sort of person you wish to occupy your property. We then match this to prospective tenants and arrange viewings. If you supply us with a set of keys, we will carry out viewings without you needing to be there, in which case a member of our staff will accompany all viewings. We will advise you of suitable prospective tenants and obtain your permission to proceed further.

When dealing with private tenants we take references. We also carry out a credit check using a credit referencing agency. We may ask for a guarantor, who will also be checked.
We prepare the tenancy agreement, which contains the terms and obligations of the tenancy and may include special conditions particular to your property.

We are happy to provide an EPC and inventory.

If you opt for the full management service, we then continue with the check-in, interim inspections and all the day to day management and maintenance.
Whichever service you choose – we are here to help
