We work to strict rental criteria and requirements, so you can be safe in the knowledge that we will find the perfect tenants for you.

2.    Managed or Let only?
Before choosing your agent have a think about how much you want them to be involved. We can discuss our service options with you in more detail at a property appraisal to help you make the right choice for you.

3.    Shop around.
Here at Belvoir Welwyn we understand that you might want to consider your options before deciding who to entrust your most valuable asset to. We are happy to discuss any other offers you may have received from other agents, in regards to fees or levels of service.

4.    Read the paperwork.
Make sure you understand what you are signing. Whilst it might sound simple, sometimes the amount of information provided within contracts can seem overwhelming. Our team are always on hand to help explain or provide you with more clarifications on any points included in our contracts.

5.    Protect yourself.
Lettings agents do not have to be part of any regulated bodies, however professional companies will choose to invest in themselves, in order to provide the best service for their landlords and tenants. Look out for agents that are members of;

• SAFE AGENT
• TPO (The Property Ombudsman)
• TDS (Tenancy Deposit Scheme)
• DPS (Deposit Protection Service) – (or other deposit protection schemes)
