The Brighton Lettings & Property Management Process

  • Schedule a property valuation

    Contact us by email or phone and arrange a time for one of our property experts to carry out a valuation.  We can meet you at the property to answer any questions and discuss which of our services is best suited.

  • Prepare The Property

    Carry out any maintenance or repair issues identified in the valuation process. Now is a good time to instruct the safety certificates.

  • Marketing Details

    Book an appointment for the valuer to come back to take photos and floor plan of the property. It would be handy to have a key cut for the agent for access for viewings. We list your property across major property search sites following marketing best practices.

  • Viewings

    We pre qualify all viewers to ensure they will meet your requirements for viewings. Once we have received application for prospective we will contact you to discuss their details.

  • Setting up a tenancy

    Once we have agreed a tenant we will begin the referencing process. We will review rental applications and conduct thorough background checks on prospective tenants, including credit checks, employment verification, and rental history.

  • Tenant Move in Day

    We will collect the first month’s rent and security deposit from the tenants and ensure all necessary paperwork is signed and completed. We then will welcome the tenants to their new home and provide them with contact information for emergency maintenance issues or questions.
