Landlords
We’re here to help
There is no getting away from it – being a landlord involves a lot of work. The first stages of letting a property are the busiest and potentially the most stressful.
City & County understand the importance of the tenant – landlord relationship which is why we employ a dedicated Lettings team at our high profile offices. With over 170 pieces of legislation affecting the Private Rental Sector, there’s no short cut or easy way to letting property. For this reason we invest time and money into staff training and development to help ensure that you’re kept fully compliant with the law and on going changes.

Creating excitement
Our job is to actively promote a property, create a “buzz” and excitement, then from that momentum watch the offers fly in. Through process of elimination based on our understanding of you the landlord, we generate a list of ideal candidates and a possible rent.
The point is that we aim to attract the right Tenant, not necessarily the first tenant and that takes planning, regular communication and hard work because at City & County we leave nothing to chance. Your experienced Letting staff will ensure that you are a forethought every step of the way.
