What WPM Residential Lettings can do for the Landlord

WPM solely let properties and are not Estate Agents. We are therefore flexible in the services we offer, briefly these are as follows:

Tenant Finding Only

We advertise and seek a suitable prospective tenant, carrying out referencing procedures etc. Once satisfactory references are received we draw up the Legal Agreement with a solicitor, liaising at all times with the landlord, carrying out inventory and condition report. Before commencing the tenancy we collect one months rent in advance together with deposit (ensuring Tenancy Deposit Scheme adhered to), making arrangements for the future rent to be paid direct to the landlord.
