Residential Lettings - Our Service to Landlords
Having commenced trading in 1990, Baker Pearce have over 20 years experience, knowledge and expertise in the letting and management of residential property. We are members of The National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), The Association of Residential Letting & Management Agents (ARLA) and The Property Ombudsman Scheme, together with The National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS). Our firm is thus administered, regulated and licensed by membership of these schemes, providing you with client money protection.
Our company provides a comprehensive service in introducing suitable tenants to your property in the shortest time possible, at the maximum rent, taking account of current market trends. Our comprehensive advertising extends to the major property portals of RightMove, PropertyFinder, FindAProperty, Zoopla, PrimeLocation as well as advertising in the local Observer and Leader publications across the Boroughs of Harrow, Hillingdon and Ealing. Eye-catching property particulars with internal and external photographs all assist in locating the right tenant. Comprehensive referencing of the proposed tenants, with the option of rental guarantee and legal expenses cover will be available, in addition to drafting of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement and preparation of a property inventory. In addition, we will collect the first month’s rent in advance, together with a tenancy deposit, arrange for future payment of rent and advise you fully on all legal obligations a landlord must abide by. These will include registration of the tenant’s deposit under a Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme, the provision of an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), complying with electrical safety regulations, gas safety regulations and The Housing Act 2004. Details of safety regulations a landlord will need to comply with will be available from our office, with a detailed Professional Residential Letting and Management Brochure to be made available to you upon request (or click here to download a copy). At Baker Pearce we will guide you through the landlord’s requirements to comply with current legislation and recommend a team of qualified engineers to provide safety inspections and certification required for your compliance.

Preparing Your Property For Let
Creating the right first impression is essential in locating the right tenant in a short period of time. Property cleanliness, de-cluttering, well maintained gardens, neutral decoration and lots of natural and internal lighting will all assist in creating a positive lasting impression. A qualified member of staff will visit your property to provide you with a comprehensive Professional Residential Letting and Management Brochure (or click here to download a copy), advising you on the recommended rental to achieve and a marketing figure, and discuss in more detail how our comprehensive advertising and service will lead to locating the right tenant for you.
