Services and Fees

Our landlords range from people with one property, who want a ‘tenant only’ service, through to experienced landlords with substantial property portfolios, looking for a fully managed service. They know they can trust our team to help deliver a good return on their investment, whether they are in the student, professional or family property letting market.

We handle everything from valuations and advertising, and checking references and setting up the tenancy agreement, through to managing all aspects of regulatory compliance and safety, such gas and electricity inspections, plus rent reviews and refurbishments.

If you want to let student or professional accommodation and are looking for reliable tenants paying a good market rent call our office on 01243 537571 or email admin@mystudentlet.co.uk

Our Let Only service benefits landlords who'd like our knowledge and expertise in finding quality tenants but who would like to manage the property themselves.

Our Rent Collection PLUS Service is entirely unique and is designed for landlords who require the Full management package but want to organise the maintenance repairs themselves  but don’t want the day to day phone calls. We handle all the Tenant maintenance reporting and pass this onto the landlord.

The Fully Managed service is designed to take care of everything and relieves landlords from the commitments associated with being a full time landlord
