Sheffield letting agent, Belvoir! Sheffield is unique in the city in being able to offer a one stop solution for all aspects of Buy to Let, having developed a number of bespoke services and turnkey solutions for landlords and would-be landlords in and around the city centre.
From managing properties to managing mortgages, Belvoir! Sheffield can take care of the entire buy to let process. The company’s Sheffield property team can enter at any stage of the buy to let process – searching for the correct property for a landlord and then taking care of the acquisition and mortgage arrangements at the start or, filling an empty property for an already established landlord.
Rick Flay, managing director of Belvoir! Sheffield said, “Having won the Belvoir! Franchise of the Year award we’re confident that we know a thing or two about the lettings market. Our years of experience dealing with tenants and landlords has given us an extensive understanding of the property trends in Sheffield so offering a one stop solution was the next logical step for us. We’ve already helped thousands of landlords to rent their property in Sheffield and have defined a series of very clear services and aids for landlords in the region.”
Step one of the one stop service is a property search function; this is a proactive search for the most suitable properties for sale. Finding the right property at the right price is key to a successful Sheffield rental further down the line. The key to our service is not only knowledge but being able to offer independent and unbiased advice. Our service saves landlords time and money.
Step two is the acquisition of the property – Belvoir! Sheffield can take care of the entire negotiation on behalf of the purchaser.
Step three is arranging a suitable buy to let mortgage. Rick Flay said, “Dealing with banks and mortgage brokers can be a daunting prospect at the best of times but when you throw in the buy to let angle it becomes a real minefield for the new landlord. We can take the hassle out of the financial arrangements by researching, recommending and organizing the most suitable form of finance available.”
Depending on the state of repair of the property and the landlord’s rental expectations, a property make-over may be on the cards. With thousands of tenants passing through its doors, Belvoir! Sheffield has developed a unique understanding of lease holder’s expectations. “We have excellent links with local tradesmen and retail outlets through our years of property management activities so can deal with repairs and renovations and guarantee the quality of the craftsmanship as well as purchase white goods and suitable furnishings if need be.”
When the rental property in Sheffield is finalized under the ownership of the landlord, Belvoir! Sheffield’s next stage of service is to provide the correct buildings and content insurance for the residence. Landlords may also wish to take out rental insurance at this stage. All policies are bespoke to the Belvoir Group and are extremely cost effective.
After the paperwork has completed, the Belvoir! Sheffield marketing team is charged with the marketing of the property. The recently unveiled virtual property tours are the latest tenant tool used by the letting agent to successfully showcase available properties to suitable tenants. In addition to web exposure via the Belvoir! Sheffield web site, landlords using Belvoir! Sheffield’s tenant find service can expect to receive extensive online exposure across all major real estate portals. Prospective tenants are offered guided tours and interested parties then fully credit checked and reference checked in-house by Belvoir! Sheffield.
With tenants found and happily ensconced, the successful landlord may require wealth management advice. Belvoir! Sheffield has an ongoing relationship with expert wealth management firm, St James Palace Partnership – this service can be accessed as part of the complete Sheffield rental property solution or, taken as a stand-alone service.
