OUR PROMISES TO YOU THE TENANTS

As a Tenant if it is the first time you have rented a property it can be quite daunting. We will talk you through any concerns you may have. Some people wish to rent property whilst relocating to the area, or have sold their property and need somewhere for a short period of time until they buy their next property (our tenancy agreements are a minimum of six months). We aim to keep the whole process of renting, straight forward, helpful and simple.  There are some Landlords from time to time who may agree to a shorter let - but you may have to pay an extra fee for this agreement.

• You will find our office friendly and helpful.
• We aim to find your ideal property to rent.
• Most of our viewings are done accompanied by one of our staff
• Local easy to find office open six days a week (Mon-Fri 9.30am-5pm, Sat 10-3pm)
