So, you’re thinking of Letting

Letting

Are you looking to let out your house or flat? Igloo are here to help!

Rental Valuation

First things first, how much will you achieve each month – we’ll give you a realistic rental value. If it’s priced right we won’t be waiting long for a tenant. With the letting market at a record high, we have a quick turnaround time, so if we haven’t found a tenant after week 4 we’ll carry out a full review to find out why.

Finding the right tenant

There are lots of different websites to search through if you’re looking for a property to rent. We’ve made sure we’re on the ones that give your property the best coverage and supply of tenants. Our results show that we’ve got it covered.

If they’re not surfing the web, then they’re probably in our shop – our head office is perfectly placed within a town centre beside restaurants, shops, bridal shops and the train station.

We are always adding potential tenants to our growing database - do we have your next tenant already? We send out an average of 800 schedules during the first week of your property going ‘live’ – we’re not starting from scratch.

Property Presentation

You want your property to look its best before showing it off to the world and our photo presentation of properties are at an industry leading standard – we take our time over this – it’s important as first impressions count and this is the bait that attracts viewers.

Have a look and compare ours to the others.

We will advise you on every little detail which will make your home even more attractive to potential tenants.

Communication

We know from experience that communication is key in ensuring all goes smoothly during the letting process. Lots of people need to be kept up to date – from landlords and tenants to utility suppliers and tradesmen - we will make sure everyone is in the loop.

Viewings

We’ll carry out all the viewings for you, giving us an opportunity to meet, and find out more about them, and whether they are the right match and profile for your property. If they want to go ahead we’ll find out even more, and conduct a full credit/reference check. This is a key stage and making sure we find you the right tenant is our main aim. We’ll feedback our recommendations before making a decision.

'To Let' boards

Our distinctive ‘to let’ boards are designed to stand out from the crowd – they certainly do and they continue to attract viewers and tenants.

Inspections

Once they have moved in, we’ll carry out regular inspections, making sure your property is being looked after - we don’t want any surprises when they move out. And whether they are moving out or staying on, we’ll know in plenty of time (our automated system will tell us) and make sure we either re-negotiate with the current tenant or re-market to find a new one.

The Legal Bits

First time you have let or not sure what you need to do? Don’t worry, we’ll keep you right. Let us take care of all the paperwork and legal requirements – tenancy agreements, inventory, gas & electrical certificates, council tax enquiries, utility changeovers etc.

Keeping track of who’s paid what and when is important, so we’ll provide you with financial statements when you need them – monthly, quarterly, annually – whatever’s best for you.

Other things we can do for you –

  • Organise rent guarantees, landlord insurances and buy to let mortgages

  • Our fees are fixed, very competitive and include vat so you know what you’re paying from the word go.
  • You can choose between a tenant find only or a fully managed service. The choice is yours.
