Gill and Keith Burgess, two of the partners of Ready to Rent Management have been landlords in the North East of England since 2003. They are aware of the pitfalls in choosing the wrong letting agents to look after their properties. As a letting agent Ready to Rent Management work hard to eliminate these problems.
Ready to Rent Management currently manage in excess of 150 houses, we have an excellent team of Lettings Managers who are responsible for arranging the letting of your property. Our Lettings Team have plenty of experience in arranging and carrying out viewings, referencing applicants and dealing with tenants and ensuring that there rental payments are set up appropriately.
During our viewing process we offer either individual viewings or open house style viewings, following these viewings we will then choose the best tenant for your property.
During the application process, our Lettings Managers will seek references from previous landlords, along with proof of earnings or benefits / Universal Credit and bank statements, to ensure that the property is affordable for the applicant. Where ever possible or if the Lettings Managers deem it appropriate we will endeavour to meet with the applicants in their current home.
Once a new tenant has moved in to your property to make it their home, our Lettings Managers keep in contact with them on a weekly basis for the first month to ensure that their payments have been set up correctly, there are no issues with the tenancy and to ensure that all the utilities are transferred in to the tenants name.
We then carry out a three monthly inspection of the property and if requested we are able to provide you with a written report of this inspection. We will also arrange for the annual gas safety check to be carried out on a yearly basis as well as ensuring that the properties EPC and Electrical Conditioning Reports are booked and checked once they reach their expiry dates.
