Lettings
“I want to maximise rental income — properly.”
Most letting agents find tenants. We manage residential property as a financial asset.
A rental property isn’t a transaction; it’s an income-producing asset that should be managed with the same rigour as any other investment. The yield you achieve, the voids you avoid, the tenant quality you attract, and the compliance you maintain. All result from decisions made monthly, not just at letting. Most letting agents focus on the single moment of finding a tenant. We focus on the three-year picture.
What we think about
The standard letting agent model is built around transaction fees — finder’s fees on new lets, renewal fees on tenancy extensions. It rewards activity, not outcome. Landlords end up paying for re-letting that good management would have avoided, and tenants end up cycling through properties that should have retained them.
We’ve structured our lettings business differently — fewer, deeper landlord relationships, longer tenancies, fewer voids, and reviews that catch problems before they cost money. The Renters’ Rights Bill, when it lands, will reward this model and penalise the transactional one.
How we work
The Portfolio Performance Review
Every new lettings client — whether they have one property or fifteen — begins with the same process.
Portfolio Assessment
We review the property or properties: current yield, void history, tenant quality, compliance status, condition, and any structural or systemic issues. For multi-property landlords, this is a portfolio-level analysis.
Market Benchmarkting
We compare your performance against the local market for properties of equivalent type — yield, void rate, achievable rent, time-to-let. This shows you where you’re outperforming and where there’s room to improve.
Written Review & Strategy
You receive a Portfolio Performance Review — typically 6–12 pages depending on portfolio size. It covers current performance, market benchmarks, compliance audit, refurbishment ROI projections where relevant, and a three-year strategic plan.
Ongoing Management
If you choose to proceed with us, we manage the property or portfolio on one of three service tiers — set out below.
service tiers
Tenant Find
We source and reference a qualified tenant, handle paperwork to move-in, and hand over to you for ongoing management. For experienced landlords who manage themselves.
Managed
Tenant sourcing, rent collection, maintenance management, compliance, and annual review. The standard service for landlords who want their property handled properly without their involvement.
Portfolio Partner
For landlords with two or more properties. Quarterly performance reviews, strategic advice on portfolio composition, refurbishment project management, tax-efficiency liaison with your accountant, and direct senior advisor access. Annual retainer plus management fees.

Best Suited For

Common questions:
What’s the difference between let-only and full management?
Let-only: we find and vet a tenant, handle the paperwork, and hand over. Full management: we handle everything ongoing. We’ll recommend which is right for your situation at our first conversation.
What fees do you charge?
A fixed monthly management fee as a percentage of rent, agreed upfront. No hidden charges, no markup on maintenance without telling you first.
How do you handle maintenance?
We coordinate directly with our vetted contractor network. You’re notified before any spend above your agreed threshold — no surprises on your statement.
