Letting property with Willmott & Lake

You've arrived here because you're likely considering renting out your property or purchasing a property for rental purposes.

Whether you're a first-time landlord or an experienced one, we're here to support you through the process.

Renting out a property involves two main steps: finding a tenant who will take care of your valuable asset and ensuring the property meets safety standards for the tenant.

The rental sector is subject to constantly evolving legislation, so it's crucial to understand your responsibilities.

By choosing the right agent, you can share these responsibilities effectively.

We recommend organising two or three valuations for your property to find the best strategy for letting it out. This way, you can select an agent you feel comfortable with, who can also guide you through the legislation.

Once you instruct us to market your property, we will:

• Begin marketing on Rightmove (UK’s Biggest Online Portal for Housing), along with social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook.
• Erect a ‘To Let’ board, which is essential for attracting potential tenants.
• Email the advertisement to our extensive tenant database, along with a personalised professional property brochure.
• Conduct every viewing ourselves, providing you with updates on viewing slots via telephone, or email. Feedback will also be provided within 24 hours of the viewings.
• Carry out thorough checks on potential tenants, including credit checks, affordability assessments, and references from past landlords, to ensure they are the right fit for you.

Throughout the entire process, we are available to assist with any queries via telephone, WhatsApp, or email.
