Quality Tenants

All tenants undergo a full comprehensive reference, including credit check, employer's reference and landlord reference. Rent is always due in advance with one months rent being paid in advance of moving into the property in addition to a deposit over one months rent. Providing you with additional protection. Periodic property inspections are conducted to ensure the property is being maintained to its current standard.

Protecting Rental Income

Sanderson James employs the following strategy which we find very effective. Initially as detailed above the tenant is thoroughly credit referenced to establish that they can afford the rent and do not or have not had debt troubles. A standing order is set up to ensure the rent is paid on the due date so we are not reliant on tenants manually paying the rent each month. Implement a rapid response rent arrear follow up system, which includes phone calls, text messaging, debt letters and visits in addition to any notices which require serving. Finally we can offer Rent Guarantee and Legal Expense Cover as even the most qualified financially stable tenants can experience difficult financial times due to redundancy, divorce, separation or ill health.

Maintenance

Our dedicated in house maintenance team work for you to complete both routine & emergency repairs to minimise further damage to your property 24/7 365 days a year. Meaning we will take the emergency calls in the middle of the night for you. An effective management of repairs also maintenance good relations with tenants increasing the ratio of tenancy renewals avoiding void periods and re-letting fee's.

Competitive Fee’s With A Quality Service

We offer very competitive fee’s from 10% management, lower than most of our competitor with discounts offered to Multi-Property Landlords. However there are now many new letting agents opening up, or estate agents trying lettings out, these type of inexperience agents can offer lower fee because they do not have the infrasture of an experienced agent. It can often be a false economy to choose the cheapest letting agent, remember that letting agent fees are tax deductible so your priority should be choosing an agent who can maximise your rental return and provide an effective management service obtaining the best achievable rent maintaining tenant retention while ensuring the let complies with legislation.

Legislation Compliance

The Rented Sector is constantly changing, so it is vital for a quality agent such as ourselves to keep up to date with new legislation that is being introduced. Which we why we subscribe to 'Letting Update' a monthly journal for residential Property Professionals providing up to minuet information, in addition to being a member of the Letting Centre where we are provided with specialist legal advise. Finally we implement our property management Via 'Computer Aided Residential Lettings' which is one of the most highly respected management software programs available. Which is continually updated to allow sophisticated monitoring of new legislation as it is introduced.
