At Keywest, we’ve been working with landlords for years, so we know just what problems and issues are likely to arise. We can pre-empt them. If there’s one piece of advice we’d offer to new landlords, it’s this: take some time to fully reference your tenants before they move in. It will be worth it in the long run.

Being a landlord is easy. Once you’ve bought and furnished your property, you simply find a tenant and sit back to watch the rent payments come rolling in. Except it doesn’t always work like this.

In fact, being a landlord can sometimes be stressful and is nearly always time-consuming. The right tenants don’t just come knocking at your door – you have to make sure that whoever is in your property is suitable, can pay their rent and isn’t going to leave you with a host of unpaid bills and a very big headache.

Our ‘let-only’ service for landlords is designed to take away as much of the stress as possible, using our expertise to manage and market your property and getting you the best rental income in the process. In fact, all you need to do is hand us your keys.

What’s a let only service? Essentially, we’ll do the following things.

Assess Your Property

You need to know you’re setting your rents at the right level — not too high and not too low. So we’ll help you establish the right rates for you and your tenants.

Advertising

Social media, property websites and our own office windows — we know the places people look and we know what they’re looking for.

Keep Your Property Occupied

An unoccupied property is losing you money. So we’ll get you the very best, fully referenced tenants in place as soon as possible.

Viewings

We can do all the tenant viewings, giving you our feedback afterwards. Or you can do it yourself if you prefer, and we’ll come along too for some extra security.

The Small Print

We’ll put together your tenancy agreement. This is to protect you against late payments or abuse of your property and to make sure your tenant is being treated fairly.

New Details

When your tenants move out and new ones move in, we’ll let all the utilities companies and the city council know, so they don’t start chasing you for payments.

Constant Communication

We’ll keep you informed every step of the way and work with you to keep your property fully occupied at all times.
