Finding & securing the best tenants

Our rental team are renowned for securing tenants of the highest quality.

Our well connected network

Our rental team source the best tenants by working closely with leading relocation agents, our in-house property search team and industry contacts, in addition to advertising on property portals and working alongside partner letting agents. 

A single team

Unlike the majority of the industry, our rental specialists work side by side with our property managers, which means they’re not just focused on securing a transactional tenant - they're focused on securing tenants who will be reliable and look after your property over the long term.

Expert negotiation

We personally interview every tenant before submitting any offer. All offers are expertly negotiated to secure the highest rental income and most competitive terms to maximise your net yield.

Rigorous vetting process

We provide one of the most rigorous tenant vetting processes in the industry to ensure the right tenant profile and for you to feel comfortable with who will be living in your property. We personally interview every tenant alongside thorough referencing undertaken by the leading external reference agency, before the signing of a lease.
