To ensure your property is accurately priced for the rental market, one of our experts will carry out a thorough property valuation. This evaluation considers various factors, including current market trends, similar properties in the area, and our team’s local expertise. Based on this, we will provide you with a realistic rental income estimate and offer advice on how to maximise your property’s earning potential.
You’ll receive a detailed valuation report within 24 hours, along with a dedicated contact who will support you throughout the process.
At Ellis West, we understand the importance of finding the right tenant for your property. We use a comprehensive tenant vetting process, ensuring each applicant meets strict criteria. From financial checks to reference validation, we make sure that every tenant we recommend is suitable for your property.
Our team will clearly communicate the necessary documentation to each applicant, so you know exactly who is interested in your property. This meticulous approach helps you find tenants who are reliable and a good fit for your space.
We employ a strategic marketing approach to ensure maximum exposure for your property. Initially, we’ll target pre-screened tenants, ensuring we only present your property to serious applicants. Often, viewings can take place within 24 hours of listing, and in many cases, properties are rented before even officially hitting the market.
Once this initial phase is completed, your property will be featured on our website, as well as across our extensive network, ensuring it reaches a wide audience of potential tenants.
We respect your time and understand that being a landlord is just one of your responsibilities. That's why we handle all viewings and schedule them at times that work for you. Each viewing is conducted by a member of our team, and after each one, you’ll receive detailed feedback, including the number of attendees and our insights on each applicant's suitability.
With this feedback, you’ll be equipped to decide whether to move forward or adjust our strategy to find the right tenant.
Once a tenant has shown interest, they will submit a formal offer. Upon acceptance, we’ll carry out a comprehensive background check, including credit assessments, employment verification, and landlord references, ensuring the tenant meets all necessary criteria.
Unlike many other agencies, we focus on securing longer-term tenancies, typically offering initial contracts of two years, which is far beyond the usual one-year agreements. Once all checks are completed and both parties are satisfied, our team will handle the paperwork, aiming to finalise everything within 48 hours.
Before the tenant moves in, we will guide you through your landlord obligations and ensure you’re up to date on any relevant regulations. Our team will arrange for any required pre-tenancy works, hold and register the tenant’s deposit, and conduct a full inventory and move-in inspection. Additionally, we’ll set up the rent payment system for hassle-free transactions.
Once the tenancy is live, your dedicated agent will be on hand to support you with any questions or concerns. If you need additional property management services at any point, we’re here to assist.
