Tenants prefer managed property
These days more and more tenants request managed properties as it allows a more professional service, removing the emotion from both sides.
Our fully trained team is highly experienced in prompt rent collection and credit control as well maintaining proactive relationships with tenants.
Our Property Management package includes services such as collecting rent, handling administration as well as assistance with more complex issues and the provision of a 24- hour emergency helpline.
Rent Collection
Rents are received by a single standing order and are immediately passed to the Landlords nominated account as soon as payment has cleared. Rent reminders are sent out as a matter of course & emergency inspections are undertaken in the unlikely event of non- payment.
Whilst every effort will be made by us to collect the rent and ensure that the tenancy agreement is adhered to, the Landlord will be responsible to initiate and settle costs of any legal action recommended by us should this prove necessary.

We will only deal with applicants who are in full time employment or who can supply a suitable guarantor. All tenants are vetted by Alexander Zain or via our independent referencing agency. We usually receive a response within 48 hours enabling us to confirm the tenants' suitability, quick and efficiently.
The referencing, where applicable, includes:-
- Previous Landlord Reference
- Employer Reference
- Credit Search & Score
- Bank or Financial Reference
- Tenant Database Search
- Collect Identification proofs
- Collect the above for a Guarantor (if required)
Following acceptable references for all of the tenants moving into your property, tenants will be required to pay 6 weeks rent as a security deposit & one calendar months’ rent in advance. We will arrange and coordinate the tenants’ occupation of the property.
Unless otherwise negotiated with the Landlord on Introduction Only basis, our Agents involvement will cease following the tenants taking possession of the property. The Landlord will then be responsible for all collection of rent, serving notices, maintenance Requirements, the arrangement of annual safety certificates and their own tax liability if moving overseas.
