Landlords

The success of our company depends on our ability to perform for you, our
client. To succeed in this we must let properties quickly for the highest
return possible, find reliable tenants and minimize void periods.

WestKen Estates valuers are proficient at accurately setting the rental value for both long and short term properties.
Their valuation advice is experienced and an appointment can generally be conducted within 24 hours.

Once confirmation of your instruction has been received, one of our in-house
photographers will process your property for marketing purposes. From one
visit they will produce high quality digital photographs, produce a full
set of architectural floor plans, write and design property particulars for
both on-line and off-line marketing and source the relevant aerial photography
and location plans. This set of complete property details is then uploaded
onto westken.co.uk, property website. This allows us to start marketing your
property within 2 hours.

Compliance with safety regulations
As a landlord, you have an obligation to ensure that your property complies
with all the necessary regulations which cover the safety of gas appliances,
the electrical installation and any furnishings supplied for the tenancy.
We can advise you on this and arrange the necessary inspections.

On the market
We take marketing extremely seriously at WestKen Estates. There are two main
areas that are concentrated upon: web and traditional media.
Valuation Request section is included as part of the service to give your
property maximum exposure, with the intention of obtaining the best achievable
rent quickly and efficiently.

Viewings
It is our job to let your property for you, which is why we accompany prospective
tenants around the property.

Proceeding with a suitable tenant
Once a suitable tenant has been found, we will apply for references on your
behalf. If the tenant proves to be acceptable, we then proceed to the next stage.

Tenancy agreement
We will draw up the relevant paperwork forming an agreement between both parties.

Inventory
An inventory of the contents and condition of the property is usually produced
prior to commencement of the tenancy. This will be supplied to both landlord and tenant upon request.

Rent and deposit
WestKen Estates collect the rent on your behalf and a deposit from the tenant
is held.

Completion
Letters are sent out transferring the utilities into the name of your tenant
and keys are handed over.

Congratulations
your property is now let!
