This is suitable for a Landlord who is living away from the area or perhaps abroad. Once we have taken on the management of a property we will keep the Landlord informed of all developments concerning the tenancy.

In addition to the letting service, the management service also comprises of:

Rent Collection

Simply Lets will collect rents monthly in advance from the Tenants and forward these monies on receipt, less commission, directly to the Landlords bank account.

Statements of your rent account can be provided on request which will detail all rents received less commissions and any repairs paid for on your behalf.

We have invested considerably in new technology to provide an efficient fully computerised collection and payment system. Payments are now made to Landlords by direct BACS transfer via a computerised link from our offices to our bank. This now means that on receipt of the payment from your Tenant we can pay direct to your account with the minimum of delay. A remittance advice will then be forwarded to you on a monthly basis in order that you are kept fully informed.

On request we can provide statements of your account for tax purposes.

Inspection Visits

Simply Lets will undertake to inspect your property at least once during any six month period of tenancy. During inspection visits it is not feasible to fully check the inventory to the property; however, any problems brought to our attention by the Tenant will be reported to you and the relevant action will be taken to attend to these.

Notice to Quit

Simply Lets will advise you when the relevant notice to quit needs to be served if possession of your property is required at the end of the tenancy, or arrange for a tenancy extension to be granted to the Tenants if required.

Maintenance And Repairs

During a tenancy, if the Tenant requires any maintenance or repair work to be carried out at your property, we will advise that we must be contacted in order that we may arrange such works, to a maximum budget previously agreed with you.

If at all possible we will contact you before authorising such works. We do however, reserve the right to instruct contractors to carry out emergency repairs if required.

Forwarding of Mail

Whilst we recommend that a Landlord arranges for his post to be redirected by the Post Office, occasionally some mail will still arrive at the property. It is a condition of the lease that the Tenant forward any such mail to us for forwarding on to you. It should be noted that this can sometimes be delayed if the Tenant does not regard this as an urgent priority.

Inventory Check Out

At the determination of the tenancy we will arrange to meet your Tenants at the property and ensure we receive all keys and check the inventory. The Tenants deposit is then returned to the Tenant once you are satisfied that the property has been returned as per the inventory.

The deposit will be returned to the Tenant within fourteen days of the expiration of the tenancy and any claim the Landlord may wish to make against the inventory will be required to be registered with us before that date.

If it is not feasible for you to carry out a post tenancy inventory check, then Simply Lets reserve the right to make retention's from the deposit on your behalf at our discretion. If we feel that there are monies due to you under the inventory in relation to damage, missing items, cleaning or gardening works, we arrange for this to be carried out under which circumstances this will be charged from the Tenants deposit.
