Whilst some people may expect that to be a stressful process, allow us to talk you through it step by step as we take the hassle out of it.

1 - Check the contract you have with your current letting agent. Don't get this confused with a tenancy agreement. This is between the landlord and the agent. How long is left on it - are there any early exit fees? 

2 - Send them formal notice that you will be leaving their service.

3 - 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫. We work with the previous agent to acquire all paperwork linked to the property. It is our job to look through everything from the tenancy contract, to certificates and deposit etc. We look for any red flags here and if found we rectify them before takeover.

4 - This step is optional, but we do recommend you to contact your tenants to notify them of the change. We do this ourselves anyway to issues Section 47/48 notice of change over including the welcome letter to our service - updating them on payments, inspections and any outstanding maintenance they have.

5 - Then finally, ask your prior agent for confirmation that there are no outstanding fees and that your working relationship has ended. Meanwhile we will have collected the keys to finalise the process

It's a straight forward process and we have made it as streamlined as possible for landlords but also the tenants living at the properties

Any questions or advise, get in touch - we would be happy to help.

Simplifying the letting and compliance journey, something many landlords fear which is our ‘bread and butter!’

It started out several years ago for our own portfolio. Then family and friends. Then we realised there was a gap in the market for a efficient and lower cost agency.

Most agents charge you 10%+VAT for management, then charge you additional when it actually needs managing! We dont. 

Our vetting process is one of our own. The majority of agents look at the last three months history of the tenant and current references. We look at the last 24 months and previous landlord refrences!

Of course! We are based online and in person in Yorkshire. 

We do offer lettings consultancy or hands off management for those wanting to use our service but who are further afield.
