Why Choose Bradley & Co To Rent Your Property?

You may already have a growing portfolio of rental properties, or this could be the first time you are renting out your property, but either one, the most important thing for all landlords is an estate agent that can be trusted to provide a seamless service and trustworthy tenants.

How Can Bradley & Co Assure You Of This?

Tenant Vetting: Our experienced staff will always think ‘Would I rent my own property out to these people?’. It isn’t just about finding tenants and moving them in quickly, it is also making sure that a new tenant is the right tenant for you and your property. They should be able to look after your property and pay rent on time. We will ask applicants a series of questions before booking them in for a viewing such as, employment status, children, how many people would be in the property, pets, smokers and much more. It is essential to us that we find you the right tenants the first time round.

References: We use a reliable national company called FCC Paragon. They will check all tenants past credit history, gain current employment and landlord references, making sure that everything possible has been looked at to make sure reliable tenants will be moving into your property.

Communication: At every stage of the rental process we will keep up updated. Whether that be about the marketing, viewing feedback, tenant referencing and how the move in day went.

Deposits: Bradley & Co will make sure that your deposit is kept safely within the Tenancy Deposit Scheme. By lodging the deposit within such a scheme means that you will be protected if the unfortunate did happen and money was needed for dilapidations when the tenant moves out.

What Can We Offer You?

You may or may not have already thought how involved you want to be with your tenants. Do you want to take a step back and let us deal with any problems that may arise or are you happy for your tenants to contact you direct and arrange yourself for any works to be carried out?

Tenant Introductory

• Instructing contractors when required, only with the landlords consent, unless it is of the upmost importance and could be detrimental to the property and/or tenant

Which ever service you require, Bradley & Co can assure a quality and professional service to both yourself and your tenant.

Is Your Property Rental Ready?

Before we start to market your property to the rental market, there are a few things you can do to turn the heads of any potential tenants. Below is a small checklist to make sure you and your tenants have a smooth moving in experience:

• Is your property clean?
• Does any redecoration need to be done?
• Are all appliances in good working order?
• Are all windows, door and locks safe and working?
• Are the front and rear gardens maintained ready for the tenant to take over?
• Do all taps, showers and toilets work?

By making sure any snagging issues are dealt with before a tenant moves in, will allow us to move your tenant in whilst you put your feet up and relax!

Here at Bradley and Co, we are able to offer three level of service, although if there was something more tailor made I am sure we can accommodate.
