Services
Property Letting
Our property letting service connects landlords with pre-screened tenants through targeted marketing campaigns. We handle viewings, reference checks, and contract preparation while ensuring compliance with current housing regulations. With a database of over 1,000 active tenants, we specialise in placing properties within two weeks of registration across Wolverhampton's prime residential areas.
Tenant Screening
We conduct comprehensive tenant screening including credit checks, employment verification, and previous landlord references. Our process ensures all applicants provide valid identification and proof of income. For working tenants, we require one month's rent in advance alongside the standard deposit equivalent to one month's rent.
Property Management
Our management service includes rent collection, maintenance coordination, and legal compliance monitoring. We handle inventory management, contract renewals, and property inspections while maintaining 24/7 emergency maintenance support. Landlords receive regular updates about their property's status and financial performance.
Maintenance Coordination
We provide rapid response maintenance covering plumbing, electrical, and structural issues. Our approved contractor network ensures emergency repairs within 24 hours. Routine maintenance is scheduled to prevent property deterioration, with all work guaranteed and documented for landlord records.
Rent Collection
Our rent collection system ensures timely payments through direct debit arrangements. We monitor payment schedules, chase arrears, and provide detailed financial statements. For housing benefit tenants, we coordinate with local authorities while maintaining strict payment tracking protocols.
