Confidenceand trust
Landlords can enjoy favourable returns from their rental investments providing they appoint a reputable letting agent who is adequately equipped and qualified to handle matters effectively on their behalf.
However, making the wrong choice can often prove both costly and problematic.
Having been operating locally for more than 46 years, Beresfords retain a wealth of experience which spans more than five decades.

Professionalsor pretenders?
Landlords are always encouraged to use an established letting agent who is a member of ARLA (Association of Residential Letting Agents), the professional body which regulates the lettings industry.
Beresfords is a member firm and as a result the rent and deposit monies, which we process, are automatically protected. This operates in a similar way to the cover provided by ABTA within the travel industry.
Unfortunately, many lettings agents are not members of ARLA and therefore cannot be held responsible for their actions. Nor can they provide guarantees in terms of any rent or deposits that they receive.

The way in which a property is marketed for rent is crucial. Effective exposure will ensure your property receives good levels of interest from high quality tenants at the best level of rent possible.

What’s more, Beresfords properties can also be advertised at The London Office in St. James’ which attracts interest from both international tenants and those who commute into the Capital.

Your property will be advertised in full colour within all the leading local newspapers. Many letting agents no longer advertise in this way, preferring to concentrate their efforts solely online.
However local newspapers still prove popular with certain tenants which is why Beresfords ‘cover all bases’ by promoting properties across various types of media.

Beresfords use specialist companies to undertake detailed referencing and credit checks on any tenants who express an interest in your property.
Some letting agents conduct only basic referencing which is not as comprehensive.
Our tenants will also pay a Dilapidation Deposit upon commencement of a tenancy. This can be used to cover any damages that may occur which are beyond normal wear and tear.
Tenants are also encouraged to take out insurance that includes accidental damage to a landlords fixtures and fittings.

Protectingyour rent
Where required we can provide a comprehensive rent warranty product at very competitive rates.
Arranged via a third party specialist, this product will pay the rent in full for a pre-defined period if the tenants default on their monthly payments.
Although rare, if eviction becomes necessary the warranty provider handles everything on a landlords behalf and all the related legal costs are covered as part of the product at no extra charge.
This warranty is ideal for those landlords who still want to receive their monthly income regardless of their tenants defaulting.
‘A great product that provides complete peace of mind!’
