In both individual and company transfer circumstances, letting a property, particularly the family home, is considered a high risk undertaking.

Dealing with problems including repairs and maintenance along with tenant and lease difficulties can cause unnecessary stress and anxiety.

These can be alleviated by an efficient Property Management Service.

We recommend you contact Home Managers well in advance of the planned letting date in order to take full advantage of their expert advice and recommendations which could save you both time and money in preparing your home or investment property for the letting market.

An unfurnished property should be complete with floor covering, curtains/blinds, light fitments, fully fitted kitchen including appliances and vacuum cleaner. An efficient lawn mower should also be supplied if applicable.

A furnished property should have suitable sittingroom and dining room furniture as well as beds and wardrobes. Many tenants however, may have some of their own items and may not be attracted to a property which is overly furnished.

Prior to and between each letting, the property should be given a thorough professional cleaning. A house that is in good condition is more likely to attract higher rental income and discerning tenants, thereby maintaining the value of the property.
