Letting Your Property

 

 

 

Landlord Information

Here at LeGrys we pride ourselves on offering a professional and efficient service for our landlords. With over 45 years in the lettings business, we understand the needs of our landlords and have a presence on the best property portals to ensure that we find tenants for their properties quickly.

 

There’s a reason we’ve won the Gold lettings award, from the British Property Awards since inception.  Lettings isn’t just about finding the right tenant for the right property, it’s an on-going relationship, ensuring the property is safe, sound and compliant. Let us make sure you and your property are fully protected against every possible eventuality.

 

With extensive tenant referencing and Right To Rent checks, we ensure only the best tenants for our landlords, and offer a variety of services to meet requirements, from Introduction Only where we just source a tenant for their property, to our Fully Managed service that will allow you to sit back and relax while we handle any issues that may arise at the property throughout the course of the letting. This includes organising renewal of all safety certificates to ensure the property remains fully compliant.

 

We have a dedicated team available to keep you up to date with the whole rental process and to answer any enquiries you may have. Our business is built on customer satisfaction and we will handle the rental of your property as if it was one of our own.  

 

We have recently added a premium Advance Rent Option (ARO) which offers our landlords a whole year's rent in advance and includes a rent guarantee at a very competitive fee. Please use our online calculator to find out your possible lump sum:  https://valuation.legrys.valpal.co.uk/aro-calculator

 

To find out more please contact us today, or why not request a free, no obligation, valuation of your property.
