Lettings & Management

Landlord Advice

Your property should be presented in the best possible condition and we recommend the following:

• Well aired and fresh throughout.
• The interior should be uncluttered and cleaned thoroughly prior to viewings.
• Kitchen appliances in good working order.
• Bathrooms fully equipped.
• Paintwork and wallpaper should be unmarked.
• Carpets should be professionally cleaned.
• Gardens should be neat and tidy and bins left in an allocated place and emptied.
• Durable interior.
• Neutral colours with pictures throughout the property.

PRTB

Under the new Residential Tenancies Act 2004, all new tenancies must be registered by the landlord with the Private Rented Tenancies Board (PRTB) within one month of the lease commencement date. We will forward the PRTB form for your property on your behalf. You will then receive confirmation from the PRTB that your property is registered.

Building Energy Rating Certificate

Since 1st January 2009 all properties offered for sale or to let must have a Building Energy Rating (BER Certificate) and Advisory Report. This assessment must be done prior to the property being advertised and placed on the market. If your property is not currently rated,
we can arrange for an independent SEI registered BER Assessor to carry out this assessment.
