The basic lettings process

Renting property in Northampton or renting property in Bedford through Visum-Lettings is as simple as can be, we are a professional agency who have been in the industry and area for a decade and pride ourselves on our service.  The basic lettings process is:

Basic lettings process: Property Rental Assessment

Rental assessments are free of charge and without obligation. One of our experienced letting agents can arrange to visit your property at a convenient time to discuss the your plans and the property’s potential. Factors that affect the rent achievable for the property are the condition of the property, it’s type and it’s location, whether it is to be let furnished or unfurnished, market conditions, and sometimes even the time of year. We will be able to advise on all these matters and how we can best accommodate your wishes.

Basic lettings process: Property Marketing

Once you have decided to instruct us to find suitable tenants for the property we will start our aggressive marketing strategy. This will see your property advertised on the country’s leading internet portals and we take, on average 3 weeks to find suitable tenants, credit check and background reference them and arrange a move in.

Basic lettings process: Tenant referencing and credit checks

Once suitable tenants are found, they complete an application, either on paper or online from anywhere in the world (just another feature of our fully interactive website). Once a completed application is received we carry out a full credit assessment, which checks the prospective tenant’s credit history, associated addresses and public records. Where applicable we obtain an employment reference, which confirms income and length of employment and a previous landlord’s reference.

Basic lettings process: Tenancy agreement

The tenancy agreements we use are based on the approved ARLA agreement, which has been fully legally checked and is proven to be reliable in a court of law. The tenancy is usually for six a month renewable periods, to suit the needs of the landlord and tenant.
