Once a landlord has formally appointed us to let a property, we will take care to ensure the property is let quickly and with the minimum of hassle for the landlord.
We will attend the property to take photographs and measurements. The property will then be pro-actively marketed through our own office and newspapers. We will erect a board at the property and send the details to any of our registered applicants whose criteria fits your property.
Cavendish Homes 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, 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 them. The paperwork and any monies due will be forwarded onto you.
Once the tenancy has commenced you will be responsible for collecting the rent, organizing any necessary repairs, carrying out inspections and for ensuring that the property remains correctly insured & complies with all appropriate legislations.
Cavendish Homes Lettings will write to you two months before the end of the tenancy advising you when it is due to expire and if you wish us to provide the extension paperwork for you.
At the end of the tenancy you will be required to carry out the checkout Inspection to make sure the property is in the same condition as when the tenant moved in. You are responsible for dealing with the release of the bond & any claims in respect of malicious damages.
