Even the best tenant's fall on hard times, so protecting yourself with our RENT GUARANTEE on all our managed properties is simply a great idea. So call us today for further details on RENT GUARANTEE with GPL Lettings.

Rental Valuations:

Once a rental valuation has been requested, we will meet you at the relevant property or properties in order to give you a rental valuation and advise you upon an advertising package that best meets your requirements.

The Deposit/ Bond:

From 6 April 2007, all deposits (for rent up to £25,000 per annum) taken by landlords and letting agents for Assured Shorthold Tenancies in England and Wales, must be protected by a tenancy deposit protection scheme. This government legislation, 'The Tenancy Deposit Scheme' (TDS) requires that the tenant's deposit must be protected and held in a Government backed scheme. At gpllettings.co.uk we can arrange for your deposit/bond to be held securely in such a scheme.

Inventories:

Since the introduction of the TDS, Inventories have increasingly important, in order to ensure the terms of the tenancy agreement have been adhered to by the tenant upon termination of the tenancy agreement prior to the return of the bond/deposit. An accurate Inventory of a property prior to and after the tenant moves in is essential. At gpllettings.co.uk all our Managed properties have Inventory service included. If you wish for us to conduct one on your behalf, please contact us for further information.

Gas Safety Certificates (CP12s):

No property can be legally let unless a valid Gas Safety Certificate is present on the property. At gpllettings.co.uk we can arrange for gas appliances to be tested and certificated at prices starting from £55. Please contact us for further information.

Insurance:

At gpllettings.co.uk we are more than happy to arrange a quote on Buildings Insurance for you through an Independent Insurance Consultant.

Tenant:

We will advertise your property prominently to find you a suitable tenant, on portals such as rightmove.co.uk and propertyfinder.com. Also included in our packages is advertising in the local press and boards outside of the property if you so wish.Once we have found you a prospective tenant we will conduct a reference check on the tenant on your behalf.

Referencing:

Before any prospective tenant moves into one of our landlord properties, it is the policy of gpllettings.co.uk to require the prospective tenant to submit an application and to agree to background referencing checks. At gpllettings.co.uk we will then ensure that background referencing is carried out using a national referencing company. A report on the prospective tenant will be produced and gpllettings.co.uk will report back to you with a recommendation as to the suitability of the prospective tenant. If you would like to then go ahead we will then draw up the relevant Tenancy Agreements on your behalf.
