LANDLORD SERVICES
When you first become a landlord there can be a fairly steep learning curve. Renting out a property isn’t just a matter of decorating, advertising for a tenant, then letting your house or flat. You are liable for the Tenancy Agreement, the deposit, gas and electrical safety, condition of contents let with the property, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, legionella assessments to name but a handful.
According to financial experts, the most common error property investors make is NOT using a professional lettings agency to market and manage their investment. Our team delivers a fully managed service so you can ‘set & forget’ - set us to manage your property and forget any hassles, allowing you to rest assured that your investment is in our capable hands.

"When I first bought my buy-to-let property . . . handling it myself was a nightmare. Enter Richardsons . . . they handle absolutely everything, I've been using Richardsons since 2003 and will stay with them as long as we have the property. They really care, they give great advice (like when you should put the rent up) and they have excellent tradesmen on call if there's a problem ."
