Landlord Services

What is important when choosing an agent to let through? Smart landlords want maximum returns on investment, minimum voids and no hassle.

Our landlords tell us they love having really happy tenants always paying on time. Any problems are always dealt with straight away.

What makes us different…

• We only choose tenants we would be happy living in our own home.
• Our vetting procedures are second to none – we are extremely thorough, we reference tenants AND guarantors eight different ways (credit bureau, current & previous employers, current & previous landlords, recent bank statements, proof of addresses and electoral roll).
• Our superb marketing and photography gets higher rent and faster lets, we always use pro photography, drone footage, video tours and floorplans.
• We review all rents annually for our landlords.
• We work alongside a solicitor who specialises in new letting legislation, making sure our landlords are protected.
• We inspect more frequently and try to sort our tenants’ problems first before bothering the landlord.
• We are also members of The Property Ombudsman.
• We are licensed with Rent Smart Wales
• We have Client Money Protection
• We like to deal with any problems rapidly before they escalate saving money for landlords.
• Harry Harper Sales and Lettings’ company owner, Benjamin Churchill, is always on hand overseeing all our tenancies.

You may be a private landlord who likes to manage his own property, or a busy person who wants his property professionally cared for and for all the aggravation to be dealt with by someone else, or maybe a professional investor landlord wanting to build his portfolio with the benefit of expert help, without having to be ‘hands on’. In each case our Professional Letting expert can assist you and make your life as a landlord much, much easier. For prompt personal attention please contact us without delay.

Some landlords who live hundreds of miles away ask us to supervise major works before letting, we can organise quotes for refurbishments, liaise with the landlord and get the property ready for letting.
