Lettings

Having started as a pure estate agency business back in 1996 Horts is now proud to offer the same great service standards to those wishing to rent their property. Although operating under the same roof, these two businesses have a fundamental difference. With estate agency the hard work ends when the client moves in, with property management it starts! Horts Lettings is also a member of ARLA which means that our knowledge, systems and procedures have been properly checked and vetted.

Our service includes:

EXPERIENCED STAFF

This is a business where there is a lot to learn and the legislation is constantly changing. Our senior letting staff are all members of ARLA (Association of Residential Lettings Agents) and attend regular courses and meetings to ensure they are always up to speed.

ACCOMPANIED VIEWINGS

It is very important that we, rather than our landlords, show prospective tenants around a rental property. Not only are we trained to show the home in its’ best light but it is also a great opportunity for us meet the tenants and gain a first impression.

REGULAR MARKETING UPDATES

Lettings is a fast moving industry and often it is difficult to find time for those little bits that matter. Communication with a landlord, whilst marketing, is extremely important. The quicker issues are resolved the quicker the property is rented and our landlords starts to earn.

MAINTENANCE TEAM

This is a very specialist job that requires people that think on their feet, not get flustered and have the ability to build relationships with landlords, tenants and contractors. A good maintenance team is key to the smooth running of every lettings organisation.

NATIONAL ADVERTISING

A rental property that has a lot of interest will create a greater choice of tenants. Maximum exposure is vital so, in addition to our own website, we ensure our rental properties are advertised on all the major UK portals including Rightmove, Zoopla and Primelocation.

HIGH QUALITY PARTICULARS

Many agents do not give their rental properties the same level of quality particulars as their ‘for sale’ ones. We think this is a mistake. Better descriptions and photos are as important for getting the right tenants through a door as it is the right buyer.
