Why should I choose ABC<br />
Lettings?<br />
We have been creating and<br />
supporting tenancies in the private<br />
sector for many years.<br />
As we are not motivated by<br />
profit our fees are lower than high<br />
street agencies. We have a clear,<br />
transparent and fair fee structure<br />
with no hidden costs.<br />
Who will be moving into my<br />
property?<br />
ABC Lettings was set up to offer<br />
accommodation to tenants who<br />
have approached the council for<br />
housing. Many of the families who<br />
approach us can afford the rent<br />
but not the fees charged by high<br />
street agents.<br />
As the landlord, you can specify<br />
the type of tenant you would<br />
prefer or indeed meet them prior<br />
to signing the tenancy.<br />
What happens if the tenant<br />
causes damage?<br />
ABC Lettings carries out<br />
a minimum of four property<br />
inspections a year and we rarely<br />
come across damage. However,<br />
during an inspection should<br />
we identify any damage we will<br />
instruct the tenant what action<br />
needs to be taken and monitor to<br />
resolve it.<br />
At the end of the tenancy we<br />
will pay up to one month’s rent<br />
towards any dilapidations.<br />
With ABC Lettings you can be<br />
confident that your property will be<br />
well managed resulting in peace<br />
of mind and, of course, guaranteed<br />
rental income.<br />
If you have any more questions,<br />
simply contact our team, who will<br />
be happy to answer them.<br />
Who pays me the rent – you<br />
or the tenant?<br />
ABC Lettings pays you monthly<br />
and in advance so your rent is<br />
guaranteed.<br />
