Fully Managed Letting Service
in Leeds & Manchester.
From finding your first tenant to navigating the Renters' Rights Act 2025, we manage your property so you don't have to worry about a thing.
What We Do
Property Management for Landlords
Property management means we act as your professional representative, handling every aspect of your rental from day one. You retain ownership and receive rent; we handle everything else.
The rules for assured private renting in England changed from 1 May 2026, including periodic tenancies and new written-information requirements. Our team helps organise the property management steps covered by your agreement. The requirements and enforcement consequences depend on the tenancy and the breach.

The Process
How Our Property Management Service Works
Free Rental Valuation
We visit your property, assess the market, and give you an honest rental valuation, including advice on what improvements (if any) could increase your yield.
Instruction & Preparation
We instruct a professional photographer, list your property on Rightmove and Zoopla, and carry out any agreed compliance certificates before marketing begins.
Tenant Finding & Referencing
We conduct accompanied viewings, receive applications, and carry out full tenant referencing: credit checks, income verification, and previous landlord references.
Tenancy Commencement
We coordinate the tenancy agreement, deposit protection and relevant documents within your chosen service. We check which written-information requirements apply and arrange the agreed check-in process.
Ongoing Management
We collect rent, handle maintenance, conduct regular inspections, manage renewals and rent reviews, and keep you updated, while you simply receive your monthly payment.
End of Tenancy
We handle check-out, compare against the inventory, manage deposit returns or disputes, and begin the process of reletting your property to minimise any void period.
