Let Only and Letting & Rent Services

To suit all requirements, we offer a Letting and Rent Service and a Let Only Service for clients who want to undertake the day-to-day management of their property themselves. This means we can offer a range of services to suit individual need and budget.

If you live near your rental property, are an experienced landlord and you are happy to deal directly with repairs and maintenance you may prefer our Letting & Rent or Let Only options.

Let only

We will do everything for you up to the point that your tenants move in, and then you will take on the responsibility from there. We will give you a rental valuation and advise on any work that would be required or desirable prior to marketing the property.

We arrange and conduct viewings and find suitable tenants after carrying out the necessary references and checks. We complete the tenancy agreements with you and your tenants, and ensure all deposits are registered appropriately with regulated deposit schemes in accordance with legislation.

Letting & Rent Services

This service includes everything in our Let Only option, detailed above and also includes rent
collection and monthly rent statements, as well as elements of the tenant moving out including serving notice, if required and final inspections.

See below for a comprehensive look at the services available from Pennington.

Services available from Pennington Fully Managed Letting & Rent Letting Only
Letting Advice: We carry out a detailed letting assessment of the property and advise on market rental levels. We provide letting advice to ensure that the property is presented in the best possible way to maximise the letting potential and that every step of the process is fully compliant with all current legislation. We have experience of every kind of property and can advise on cost effective ways to make improvements and can arrange to have the work carried out too, through contractors we work closely with.
Compliance / Health & Safety: We arrange all Energy Performance Certificates (EPC), Gas Safety Inspections, Electrical Safety Checks (EICR), Legionella Reports and purchase and install Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms if required to ensure the property is fully compliant before the tenants move in. These are legal requirements and there are hefty penalties for non-compliance.
Marketing: We professionally photograph the property, record a virtual tour, prepare the details and promote the property widely across the major property portals and on our own website to reach suitable tenants looking for this type of property. We will carry out all viewings, accompanying prospective tenants and give feedback to help with final decision making.
Tenants References & Right To Rent checks: We interview the prospective tenants and carry out all the required checks and references including Right to Rent checks to confirm the applicant can legally live in the UK. We also carry out thorough credit checks, employer and/or accountant references and previous landlord references to ensure they are a suitable applicant, and they meet affordability criteria. We will keep you up to date throughout the process.
New Tenancy Agreement: We prepare the tenancy agreement and any relevant notices, including any additional clauses which may be required to do with pets in a property for example. We advise landlords and tenants of their legal rights and responsibilities under the agreement, including any recent changes to legislation. Only when all parties are happy will we arrange for the tenancy agreement to be signed and exchanged.
Inventory: We prepare a detailed schedule of condition and inventory of property contents and agree these with the tenant in line with Association of Professional Inventory Providers (APIP) best practice. This includes colour photos to ensure there is no chance of dispute at a later stage.
Tenancy Deposit: We secure the initial rental payment and a security deposit of at least five weeks rent. In accordance with regulation, we register the security deposit with one of the accredited Tenancy Deposit Schemes (TDS) within the stipulated 30 days of the deposit being taken.
Rent Collection: We arrange for rent to be paid and ensure that these are collected at the allocated times and credited to the landlord’s account. We have processes in place to take prompt action to avoid any rent arrears.
Rent Statement: We prepare and issue to the landlord a monthly statement of rental income and expenditure.
Inspections: We carry out regular inspections of the property, inside and out, as required and produce a detailed inspection report. Inspecting properties regularly ensures that tenants are observing the terms of their tenancy agreement and any issues or problems that come to light from this can be dealt with swiftly before they can become a bigger issue.
Maintenance & Repair: Whether it’s something that is highlighted from an inspection or an issue the tenant has flagged up, we will arrange for the maintenance and repair of properties promptly and efficiently. We always keep the landlord updated on what is required, quotes for the work and progress to ensure there are no surprises. We also deal with emergency work, so you don’t need to deal with a broken-down boiler in the middle of the night.
Serving Notices: When required we issue any notices, always ensuring that they are strictly in accordance with the statute that governs their service and are always up to date on any changes to this legislation.
Pre-Final Inspection: We meet with the tenant upon receipt of notice to carry out a final inspection in advance with a view to discuss any issues at the property and advise the tenant of anything that may need remediation by them. We also use the opportunity to make a rental assessment for the landlord and give any advice for reletting, so the property can be on the market as quickly as possible to minimise any rental void period.
Final Inspection: We inspect the property at termination of the tenancy and agree any dilapidations. We take final utility meter readings and inform utility providers of a change in occupant.
Final Return of Tenant Deposit: After agreeing any dilapidations with the tenant, we will instruct any works to be carried out and arrange for the security deposit to be returned.
