If you are an individual with a property to let, look no further than Choice Lets. We are pleased to offer the following services:

• Advertising of the property both on Rightmove and our own shop window.
• Handling enquiries from prospective tenants
• Vetting of tenants, including credit checks
• Accompanied viewings
• Letting properties on Short Assured or Assured Tenancies
• Rent collection and pursuit of debt
• Fulfilling any repair and maintenance responsibilities on your behalf (if desired)
• The production of inventories for furnished properties, identification of defects and ordering replacement of damaged items (again, if required) and recovering costs if appropriate from tenants.

Fee Structure

Our costs are fully transparent.  We deduct an percentage based administration fee  from the first month's rent to cover initial administration costs and Rightmove advertising.  Thereafter we willl levy a lesser percentage monthly fee to cover our ongoing management services during the course of the tenancy.

Vetting and Letting

We obtain appropriate details from applicants and carry out personal credit checks to confirm employment and bank details and to help assess the individual’s ability to meet the rent.

We arrange viewings and agree entry arrangements with interested parties. We aim to be flexible and offer viewings outwith office hours.

All lets are on the basis of a Short Assured Tenancy for a minimum 6 month period. As part of our service we provide formal tenancy agreements which have been fully checked for compliance with legislation by solicitors.

Rental Arrangements

Tenants are required to pay a minimum deposit of the equivalent of 1 month's rent along with the first month in advance before taking entry. Atrium will hold the deposits in a separate bank account and individual deposits will be returned as soon as is practicable after the end of a tenancy, minus any deductions for tenant damage or utilities' charges.

Rent will be paid monthly in advance by direct debit or standing order to Atrium’s account and credited to the individual rent account for the property established on Atrium’s computerised management system.

Atrium will act promptly to address non-payment of rent up to and including eviction action, although any action taken and subsequent costs incurred will be subject to your approval.

At each void period, a property will be comprehensively checked, repaired, cleaned, and photographed prior to being relet. This will both ensure a high standard of let and provide the basis for return or retention of deposit. Tenants will require to show evidence that their utility bills have been paid in full before their deposit is refunded.
