We'll handle the compliance, the legal agreements, the tenant vetting, and the day-to-day management. You don't need to know lettings law. You just need to make one call.

Chester's only letting agency with an in-house landlord's solicitor.
From “I have a property” to rent in your account.
Five steps. We handle all of them. Most accidental landlords are receiving rent within 4–6 weeks of their first call.
Free rental appraisal
We visit the property, tell you what rent it can achieve, and flag any compliance work needed before a tenant moves in.
Compliance certificates sorted
We arrange your EPC, gas safety check, EICR, and smoke alarms — and check your mortgage and insurance terms.
Tenant found and vetted
We market the property, conduct full referencing (credit, employment, previous landlord), and carry out Right to Rent checks.
Legally compliant tenancy
Our in-house solicitor drafts your tenancy agreement, registers the deposit, and ensures full Renters Rights Act compliance.
We manage everything
Rent collection, maintenance, inspections, renewals — handled. You get a monthly statement and access to your landlord portal.
Sound familiar?
We work with landlords in all of these situations every week.
Inherited a property
A parent or relative left you a property. You're not sure whether to sell or let, and you don't know where to start with either. We'll give you an honest assessment of both options.
Couldn't sell
The market moved, the chain fell through, or the price wasn't right. Renting out while you wait is a sensible option — and we can manage it so it doesn't become a second job.
Moved in with a partner
You've moved into a partner's home and your property is sitting empty. Renting it out makes financial sense — but you need to check your mortgage terms first. We'll walk you through it.
The Renters Rights Act changes everything for new landlords
If you're letting a property for the first time, you must comply with the new Act from day one — periodic tenancies, no Section 21, Property Ombudsman registration, and more. Our in-house solicitor ensures your tenancy is legally watertight before any tenant moves in.
