WHY CHOOSE FRANCIS STUART
Professional Photography
Our team will ensure that the best photographs of the property get taken to show off your property. We will attend with the photographer to ensure the property is looking its best, and then use these photos for the marketing of the property to potential tenants. By doing this, we aim to reduce voids and ensure you get the best tenants and maximise the return on your investment.
Knowledge and Experience
We know the Plymouth and Tavistock lettings market inside out, and with experience in all areas of this market, we understand what tenants like and expect. We use this knowledge and expertise to maximise your return from your investments.
Legislation Experts
Our team consists of two ARLA qualified members of staff. Lettings management must be done correctly, and so our team ensures you stay on the right side of the law.
Property Marketing
We’ll make sure your property is advertised on the right platforms to ensure we get high-quality leads, including Rightmove, Zoopla and social media.
Reference Checks
To make sure we get great tenants, we go above and beyond to make sure we know everything we can about the tenant. We can ensure that they will be an excellent fit for the property they want to live in. All tenants undergo referencing, which includes a credit check, previous landlord check and an employment check.
Inventories
We can carry out a photographic inventory of the property before a tenant moves in. Inventories will ensure that if the tenant damages the property, you can claim on the tenant’s deposit.
Inspections
Our team will carry out inspections to ensure the property is being looked after as it should be. You will get a detailed report with recommendations from us with any work required highlighted. From this report, we can help you effectively resolve any issues raised or improvements to improve the quality and therefore, your return on your investment.
Maintenance
We use FixFlo software so tenants can report any maintenance issues that arise at the property 24/7, and we encourage all tenants to use this software. We try and get all work completed as fast as possible. We make use of competent local contractors to ensure our responses to maintenance issues are quick, and prices competitive.
Payment of Rent
We use our CRM to help track all our rent payments into and out of our dedicated client account. We can either make daily, weekly or monthly payments of rent depending on your preference. Our landlord portal allows landlords to view their statements 24/7.
