Most of our landlords take advantage of our fully managed service which is excellent value for money as it keeps you legal and removes the hassle and worry which can be associated with being a landlord. The difference with Hancocks is that our key staff are landlords in their own right which means they understand the worries and concerns you may have.
We have also provided independent help and advice to first-time buy to let landlords. Whether its advice on which property to buy, how to finance it or the dos and don’ts of letting a property.
What does our Fully Managed Service Include?
We provide help and advice from the very start to the very end including;
- Help and advice if buying another property to add to your portfolio.
- Advice on getting the property ready to let. As a landlord you are responsible for your tenants health and safety whilst they are in your property. Need a tradesman to do some repairs? We can even organise these for you if you wish.
- Drafting property particulars and advertising your property for let on major property websites and social media. Take a look at our properties to rent and see how our particulars differ from many agents.
- Accompanied viewing service – Hancocks own staff will accompany applicants to view your property.
- Comprehensive tenant referencing and the option to take advantage of our rent guarantee and legal cover service. We don’t want just any tenant, we want one who will pay the rent on time and look after your property. You don’t want the hassle of late rent or bad tenants and we certainly don’t as your managing agent.
- Full documentation including Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement, Full Written inventory and Deposit Holding documentation. Some agents make a separate charge for this!
- Organisation of the gas and electric safety checks.
- Holding the deposit and registering it with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme as required by law.
- Monthly rent collection including electronic banking and monthly statements. We check our rent account daily so you get your rent as soon as possible.
- Check-in inspection – We will accompany the new tenant to your property to carry out an initial ‘check-in inspection’.
- Check-out inspection and deposit return – We will manage the ‘check-out inspection’. We ensure properties are left in a good condition and ready for the new tenants. We will check and administer any dilapidation deductions from the deposit.
- If you are unlucky enough to be involved in a deposit dispute we will advise, support, negotiate and handle the paperwork on your behalf.
- Regular inspections on the property and written reports.
- Day to day maintenance issues being dealt with and queries from the tenant being addressed. We can arrange for a local a contractor to carry out any essential repairs should you wish. Alternatively, we can liaise with your chosen contractors or yourself if you prefer a hands-on approach to repairs. · Click here to see what our current landlords say about us.
