What our clients say…

LETTINGS

In 1988 the Housing Act was introduced and with the amendments in the 1996 and 2004 Housing Acts, landlords now have far greater security when letting their properties.

Under these new style leases, the length of tenancy and an open market rent are agreed at the outset and the landlord has a guaranteed right to possession at the end of the fixed term.

Online Property Services is a member of The UK Association Of Letting Agents (UKALA) and therefore covered by a strict code of conduct.

Our Letting Service is designed for a landlord who is able to deal with the management of the property himself during the tenancy. Once a Tenant has taken occupation of the property all documentation is forwarded to you.

DEPOSIT

Online Property Services insists that the Tenant lodges with either the Landlord or Management Agent a deposit equivalent to at least one month’s rent prior to moving into the property. If Online holds the deposit it will be registered with The Dispute Service. If the landlord holds the deposit it would need to be properly registered to comply with Housing Law and avoid fines. We can provide more details of this on request.

TENANT SELECTION

We feel very strongly that most problems can be avoided by careful selection of tenants at the outset. We will arrange all viewings and these will be accompanied by an experienced member of staff. When we receive an application for the tenancy we will apply for references in order to ascertain the prospective tenants suitability. We will check the tenant’s credit history, apply for an employment reference and landlord reference going back three years.

Rents are charged monthly in advance with the first payment of rent being collected by Online Property Services. The balance of this payment, less the letting fee, is then forwarded to the landlord. All future rent payments would then be made directly by the tenant to the landlord.

MARKETING

Your property will be extensively advertised with details in the local press until let and photographs will be on display on this Internet site and also On The Market, one of the UK’s top property websites.

We have a large number of people who are waiting for your property. This includes many local companies and other major employers in the area who have a regular influx of staff on relocation packages.
