Let us take complete control of the management of your rental property to ensure it is totally hassle-free for you and gives you peace of mind.
We will attend the property to take photographs and measurements. The property will then be pro-actively marketed through Office and Various Newspapers. We will erect a board at the property and send the details to any of our registered applicants who’s criteria fits your property.
Cavendish Homes lettings will conduct any viewings on your property between 10am and 5pm Monday to Friday.
Once a prospective tenant has made an application to rent your property, they will be asked to complete an application form. From the information provided a professional (external company) will complete full credit checks, employment and Landlord references. A copy of the references will be made available for your perusal. Once the references have come back acceptable an appointment will be made for the tenant to move into the property.
Before the tenant can move in, we need to make sure that we have the necessary safety certificates. We will either need a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate and the Energy Performance Certificate or we have reliable contractors that can carry these out for you.
Once we are in receipt of the acceptable references and safety certificates we will draw up all of the necessary paperwork, produce a comprehensive inventory and take the Utility meter readings.
We will conduct the move in appointment. We will sign all of the paperwork, get a standing order form signed, take the initial monies from the tenant and give them the keys to the property. If a deposit is taken it will then be registered with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme and held by us, we will send the standing order form to the relevant bank and the paperwork and any monies due will be forwarded onto you.
We will collect the rent on a 4-weekly basis, deduct our fees and the remaining balance will be forwarded onto you. Should the tenant have any problems during the tenancy they will report them direct to our property management team. One of our property managers will assess the incident and respond accordingly. You will be notified, and we will keep full notes on the actions taken to rectify the issue.
Every three months we will complete a full property inspection. This is the opportunity for them to raise any problems and discuss their stay in your property and a chance for us to assess the overall condition and cleanliness of the property. We will send a full report to you with a breakdown of any recommendations. If we find that the property is not in an acceptable condition a letter will be sent to the tenants advising them of the problems that need to be rectified and we will schedule to attend again a month later to ensure the problems are resolved. At the end of the tenancy we will complete a full check out. We will take the utility meter readings and ensure the property is returned to you in the same condition as the start of the tenancy. Any dilapidations will be rectified by our contractors and all costs will be deducted from the tenant’s deposit.
We will write to the tenants two months before the tenancy is due to expire giving them the option to extend their tenancy.
