Finders Only Service

• Finding suitable tenants through our comprehensive mailing list and/or via newspaper advertising in the local property newspaper.

• Once found, they are then "screened" for suitability by means of national credit search facilities, employment and/or character references together with any other checks we feel are necessary.

• We recommend that Landlords let their properties on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy basis for a term of six months minimum to usually two years maximum, although this may be extended should all parties be in agreement. Such tenancy agreement will be handed to the Landlord upon commencement of the term in exchange for the finders fee as deducted from the first month's rent as paid by the tenant. A security deposit, known as a "bond", and equal to one month's rent, is also forwarded to the Landlord for safe keeping upon commencement of the tenancy.

• Arrangements are made for rental payments to be paid on a monthly basis and credited directly into your bank account.

• A detailed inventory of personal chattels, etc., is taken at the time of occupancy which should be used as a checklist for when the tenants vacate the property. Also, a note as to the property's general condition would be taken and any damage identified upon final inspection by the Landlord would be paid for from the "bond" monies as held by the Landlord.

• Whilst we offer a comprehensive service we are confident that our fees remain extremely competitive. Newspaper advertising within the local property newspaper is free of charge as are accompanied viewings should this service be required. The only fee payable by the Landlord is £200.00 plus V.A.T. or equal to two weeks rent (whichever is the greater) upon receipt of the tenancy documentation.

• A rent guarantee option is available which is subject to qualification of a suitable tenant(s) and in line with our insurance underwriters criteria. It is initially chargeable at £50 (plus VAT) in line with each six monthly Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement. A reduced amount is payable in line with each new six monthly Assured Shorthold Tenancy in respect of the same tenant(s).

• Foxstons Property Management Division can also offer to Landlords a full complimentary range of products to further assist in the letting of your property. These include buildings, contents and legal protection insurance policies, all provided at highly competitive rates with quotes available upon request.
