10 simple steps to letting your property


  • Step 1: Get an accurate valuation

    Choose an experienced local letting agent to give you an accurate rental valuation.It's important to ensure the price is right to attract the right tenant.

  • Step 2: Choose your service

    Review the service options available, and consider how involved you want to be with your tenant and/or property.Having to juggle maintenance issues, collect the monthly rent and deal with other responsibilities that may not suit your current lifestyle.

  • Step 3: Find your tenants

    Finding the right tenant (one in the best position for you) can be time consuming and costly. Being a William Grant & Partners landlord will give you high profile advertising and give you access to a large tenant database.

  • Step 4: Arrange your viewings

    Keeping your property clean and clutter-free as possible will be more attractive to prospective tenants.An experienced team member will accompany all prospective tenants on viewings arranged by William Grant & Partners. 

  • Step 5: Negotiate and agree an offer

    Your letting agent will handle all negotiations between you and prospective tenants. William Grant & Partners strive to get you the best rental price, length of contract and tenants.

  • Step 6: Credit checks and references

    Running credit checks on prospective tenants helps to ensures your property will be sucure.William Grant & Partners uses strict referencing procedures carried out by independent experts. 

  • Step 7: Sign your Tenancy Agreement

    This document outlines the agreed responsibilities of both you and your tenant. It is important that both tenants and landlords take the time to read this carefully before signing.

  • Step 8: Inventory

    An Inventory is a detailed list that itemises the contents and condition of the property at the time of the tenant moving in. It must be agreed and signed by both the tenant and the landlord.

  • Step 9: Take the deposit

    Once your tenant has paid the deposit in full, they have secured the property. Their deposit will be held against possible damage to the property, which will be checked against the Inventory at the end of their tenancy.

  • Step 10: Your tenants move in

    It's important to build a good relationship with your tenants; small gestures like supplying user manuals for appliances will really help. Need some landlord advice? Contact us and we'll be happy to help.
