Bennett Residential Which Service is best for you

At Bennett Residential we understand that a rental property is a significant asset and that you all require different levels of service. Some landlords wish to have more involvement than others. Even with experience, managing a property can be a full time job. One you do not need if you already have a full time job or live overseas.

A Guide to Services

Find Tenant Only

An introductory service, to find the right tenant when you are in a position to collect the rent and oversee the maintenance of the property yourself. The following services are included whichever package you choose:

• Free – without obligation rental valuation – advising you of the best possible market rental returns and all aspects of renting your home successfully.
• Finding a suitable tenant – from our extensive database of waiting tenants, through the internet and property press advertising.
• All prospective tenants are properly referenced through a professional third party credit reference agency.
• We use plain English and will draft a bespoke tenancy agreement to suit your individual requirements.
• We will collect the first month’s rent in advance and obtain a security deposit. Additionally, we will set up standing order mandates to enable direct collection of rent.
• Where required, we will arrange to have professional inventories prepared, and all appropriate gas and electricity safety inspections carried out (at landlord’s expense) prior to the commencement of the tenancy.
• We will arrange to have utility accounts transferred into tenant’s name.

Rent Collection Service

All the same benefits as the 'find a tenant' service with the following enhanced services added:

• Supervision and collection of rent.
• Payment of rent to landlord via the BACS system.

Fully Managed Service

This is our most comprehensive service for landlords and is particularly beneficial where the landlord lives far away, or possibly overseas, or perhaps where there is simply no time to become involved in the day-to-day management of the property. This service includes all of the other benefits highlighted, with the following additions:

• We will inspect the property on a quarterly basis.
• Organise necessary repairs and maintenance (at landlord’s expense) – using only qualified and approved tradesmen who will do a good job at competitive rates.
• Deal with the tenants and other third parties on all matters relating to management and maintenance of the property.
• Arrange for the cleaning and any decorating of the property between tenancies.

Here are a few valuable reasons for using Bennett Residential Property Management:

• The average managed let will last for 18 months, compared with 10 months of non managed properties.
• 5% more managed properties are renewed after the first year than non-managed properties.
• Corporate companies and relocation agents will search in preference of managed properties for their employees.
• These days more and more tenants request managed properties as it allows a more professional service, removing the emotion from both sides.
• We continually vet local trades’ people, services and supplies to ensure we only use companies providing the very best quality of workmanship, at a competitive price, on behalf of our clients.

REMEMBER – NO LET – NO FEE!
