The achievable rental value of your property is determined by many factors such as location, number of bedrooms, local services, amenities and overall condition of the property. Wentworth Estates will advise you on a realistic rental valuation, taking into all these factors into consideration, together with the current state of the local market.
Using our expertise, we value properties based upon the knowledge we acquire on the local market trends. This enables us to conduct how your property will be marketed.
Looking after a rented property can be easy when you have responsible tenants and live locally. However, if anything does go wrong, from a boiler breaking down, to a tenant losing their job, it can get very stressful.
There is a mountain of legal obligations, with seemingly more forms to complete frequently. Let us take the strain and manage your property for you. We can ensure that you’re protected in every way, and we’ll endeavour to make sure you’re not out of pocket financially. We’re proud of our knowledge of the industry and will always act in your best interests at all times.
We will vigorously market all our available stock across a wide variety of mediums.
Once you have selected Wentworth Estates, we will arrange all the details for the property, including photographs, map of the property and all certificates. We will focus on marketing the property to attract quality tenants.
Advertising:
Wentworth Estates look to advertise their properties to achieve the best results. This is done via local newspapers, window displays, leaflets, Rightmove, Zoopla, On the Market and various other digital marketing sources. All these campaigns help us to achieve the best results for you, in the quickest timeframe, for the best possible price.
Certificates and Property Licensing:
Each property is obligated to meet the UK’s legal safety standards; therefore, an independent authority must be employed to grant you with the necessary certificates. Wentworth Estates are always available to provide you with the service to obtain these certificates for you, as we make it our responsibility to ensure that we keep all our landlords up to date with any latest legislation.
Wentworth Estates suggest that the property is kept clean and clutter-free to ensure that the prospective tenants are able to see the full potential the property has. We accompany all viewings including online viewings of the property if a client is unable to attend.
Wentworth Estates are always looking to negotiate and attempt to achieve the best price for you, we also consider other important factors such as the tenant’s income and credit references prior to making any decisions.
At this point, we will ask for a holding deposit from the applicants and ask them to visit the office with their Right to Rent ID, which will be checked. We will also commence the referencing process. During this time, viewings are suspended until all checks have been completed to everybody’s satisfaction. If the deal falls through at any point, we will re-commence viewings immediately.
When an offer is accepted there are final checks that are undertaken.
All tenants will undergo thorough background checks. We use an independent reputable referencing company to report on their suitability and creditworthiness, including their payment history on any previous lending and any adverse credit e.g., CCJ’s or bankruptcies.
Once all referencing is completed and deemed satisfactory, we then ask the tenants to pay their first months rent and security deposit.
Upon receipt of cleared funds, we will arrange for the tenancy agreement to be drawn up and signed by all parties. We suggest that both the tenant and landlord take time out to read and understand the tenancy agreement before signing. The tenancy agreement summarises responsibilities for both the tenant and landlord.
All deposits are protected in a Government approved deposit scheme. Wentworth use My Deposits Custodial Scheme.
Our housing officers will meet the tenants at the property to conduct an inventory, The meter readings will be taken, the keys will be photographed and then handed to the Tenant. If the property is managed, we will also retain a set of keys at our offices.
