Let only and tenant find in Sutton Coldfield
Our Let Only service finds and references the right tenant and sets the tenancy up properly. Then you take it from there.
What's included
Some agents call this tenant find. We do the work of letting your property, from the first advert to the day your tenant moves in:
- Free current market appraisal
- Advertising and promoting your property on OnTheMarket.com, our own website and social media
- Matching your property to registered applicants
- 'To Let' board (if permitted)
- Accompanied viewings (where applicable)
- Obtaining tenant(s) references, credit check(s) and Right to Rent check(s)
- Arranging check-in with tenant(s)
- Drawing up tenancy agreement and producing legally prescribed information
- Photographic inventory and statement of condition
- Notify utilities about change of occupancy (where applicable)
- Accompanied move-in appointment
- Deposit collection, registration and protection under MyDeposits
What it costs
Let Only is a one-off £495 (inc. VAT) letting fee. There’s no monthly fee.
Anything extra, such as inventory or check-out reports, is agreed with you in advance. Money we hold for you is protected under our Safeagent client money protection, and we’re members of the Property Redress Scheme. Every fee is on our letting agent fees page.
How it works
- A free rental valuation. A local agent visits, gives you a realistic rental figure and talks you through presentation and pricing.
- Marketing and viewings. We advertise your property on OnTheMarket.com, our own website and social media, put up a To Let board where it’s allowed, match it to applicants already registered with us, and accompany viewings.
- Choosing the tenant. Every applicant is referenced and credit checked through Canopy, and we carry out the Right to Rent checks.
- Setting up the tenancy. We draw up the tenancy agreement and the legally required information, produce a photographic inventory, and collect the deposit and protect it with MyDeposits.
- Moving in. We meet your tenant on move-in day and let the utility companies know there’s a new occupier, where that applies. From then on, the tenancy is yours to run.
A property normally lets within one to three weeks, and we’ll give you a realistic timescale for yours at your rental valuation.
What you look after
Once your tenant has moved in, you collect the rent, arrange repairs, carry out inspections and handle renewals, notices, the check-out and any deposit dispute. If you’d rather we did all of that, it’s our Fully Managed service, at 12% (inc. VAT) of the monthly rent plus a £395 (inc. VAT) letting fee.
“Steve Morris was recommended by a friend when I became an accidental landlord. They have been brilliant in recruiting tenants, managing checks and ensuring any issues were resolved quickly and efficiently. Their fees are reasonable and the team are always helpful and responsive via phone or email. Would highly recommend.”
