Our Valuation Managers know the local lettings market, with over 35 years’ experience since we started trading in 1989. Our Aylesbury office has been named a Trusted Agent 2026 Gold winner, an award based on independently verified customer reviews that no agent can pay to enter.

The lettings services
We will explain the service options available and the rental process. Choose the landlord service that is right for you – Let Only, Rent Collection or Fully Managed. For information on our fees, see our Fees Schedule.
Step 3
Marketing your property
We’ll use our latest technology to take professional HDR photos, 360 virtual tours and LiDAR floor plans, then place your property on the market. It will be comprehensively marketed through our website, Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket and across social media.
Step 4
Viewings & Feedback
We can manage tenant viewings for you and will update you with feedback as soon as possible. Our ARLA trained agents will discuss with you any interest and offers from prospective tenants.
Step 5
Tenant referencing
Once you have approved an offer, our thorough tenant referencing process begins using a reputable referencing company to check tenant credentials including finances to ensure peace of mind.

We will prepare a tenancy agreement on your behalf and arrange the paperwork. Our Tenancy Agreement has been specifically drawn up to take account of the latest legislation and to protect your interest.
Step 7
Deposit & move in
Once the tenancy agreement has been signed by both parties and the deposit has been collected, the tenant can move in.
Step 8
