Is your property empty?... Is your property still not let?...

Are you looking for a full time letting agent?

Landlord service We strongly advise you to have an inventory of the property compiled, particularly with the legislation in respect of tenancy deposits now in place. We offer the services of a professional independent inventory clerk to prepare a detailed inventory, take meter readings, check tenants into the property and arrange a check out when vacating. The cost of the inventory service is normally £120 inc Vat.

The cost of additional services if required are listed in our scale of fees. The fees are payable at the commencement of the tenancy and will be deducted from monies received by Benjamins on the Landlords behalf.. If on the completion of the lettings only service the Landlord requires collection of rents only, then the additional fee would be 6% of the gross rents collected. We are currently members of The Property Ombudsmen Scheme. Out lined above are the two elements of our service. However, we maintain a flexible attitude and are usually able to adapt our service to meet our client’s individual circumstances and requirements.
