The questions we hear most from landlords across Herne Bay & Whitstable. Can’t find yours? Call us on 01227 362248.
Our fees are fair, fixed and transparent, and we work on a no let, no fee basis — you only pay once we’ve found you a tenant. We’ll confirm the exact fee for your chosen package at your free rental valuation, and new landlords currently get their first 3 months free on our Fully Managed & Protected packages when signing up for a 12-month management service.
It depends on the property, the rent and the time of year, but well-priced homes with professional photography typically attract strong interest quickly — and we match every new listing directly to our database of registered tenants. We’d rather take a little longer to find the right tenant than rush the wrong one in, so every applicant is fully referenced first.
The essentials include an annual Gas Safety certificate, an Energy Performance Certificate, an electrical safety report (EICR), working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, Right to Rent checks and deposit protection in a regulated scheme. It’s a lot to keep track of — which is why compliance tracking is built into our management service, keeping you up to date with current legislation.
It can be. Our Fully Managed & Protected package includes Landlord Rent and Legal Protection Insurance, protecting your monthly rental income and covering legal costs if things go wrong. Ask our lettings team for details.
Only if you want to. Our Tenant Find service suits landlords who prefer to manage day-to-day themselves, while Fully Managed covers everything — rent collection, inspections, maintenance and renewals — with support available 7 days a week and online account access through our free landlord app.
