More Information For Landlords…

The administration is such a hassle - okay, so let us do it!

The biggest complaint we hear from landlords is that it is so time consuming trying to keep their tenants happy, especially when they have a larger portfolio of properties. Between managing the paperwork, chasing the tenant for payment or getting called out in the night when there is an emergency. Well when you sign up to our administration package then you don’t need to worry about all that as we’ll be taking care of that for you. Our team of trained advisors will manage all your administration and management needs and because our software package is designed specifically for property management it ensures a consistently high level of customer service and satisfaction. We also give you the option to specify your own maintenance contractors if you currently have a relationship with a supplier.

But what about out of hours? - that’s fine we’re here 24/7.

When you sign up to LMS you are getting so much more than just an administration service.  Because we are committed to our full administration and management service you will have access to a trained letting advisor 24/7.  LMS is able to offer you assistance when you need it, not just when the office is open.

What happens if the tenant can’t pay? - Our HomeLet rent and legal guarantee’s got you covered so don’t worry.

 Like many things in life letting your property can be a risky process,  even a good tenants circumstances can change and before you know it they’re in arrears.   You still have to pay the mortgage even if the tenant hasn’t paid you but when you’re an LMS client you don’t need to worry.    We are able to offer you the landlord, a free 6 months rent and legal expense guarantee on condition of your tenant passing a comprehensive reference check which is carried out by our insurance partner HomeLet.  This guarantee will pay your rent for the remainder of the 6 month agreement in the event of the tenant defaulting.   You don’t need to worry about the legal process either as that is included in the rent guarantee.    HomeLet will handle the legal process and all legal costs are included in the legal guarantee up to £50,000.

Who’s in my property? - Our safeguard is to offer you the most comprehensive reference checks available.

It is important when letting your property to realise that a basic credit check just doesn’t cut it. Defaults on rental payments don’t show on a basic credit check so that is why we don’t do them. We take the letting of your property very seriously and that is why we perform the most comprehensive and rigorous reference checks available in fact we use the type of referencing that the major banks use.

• Five years undisclosed addresses
• Voters roll check
• Five years CCJ’s/CD’s
• Check on loans history
• Consistency of application cross-check
• Unique identity fraud check
• Employers reference
• Salary confirmation
• Landlords reference
• Tenancy assessment score
