Why Choose Seal Lettings Ltd?
It is very important to choose your Management Agency carefully, one that will understand your needs for the property. We have over 40 years of experience in the Lettings industry and fully understand what is required to maximise your rental income.
We are a dedicated team with highly experience staff to guide you in this process whether you are a new Landlord to the Market or an existing landlord with the need for change.
Our Process
Any potential tenant will be asked to complete and application form, we will discuss these with you and will advise on our opinion as to the most suitable tenant, we will not be held responsible for any tenant’s accepted by the landlord whereby the landlord refuses a credit check. The credit checks can give us a clearer picture of tenant’s financial situations and may have a bearing on potential future payments. Upon agreed and passed checks, we will produce an Assured Shorthold Tenancy under the Housing Act 1988, this will be for a time agreed by yourself as landlord and us as an Agent, standard tenancies start at 6 months. Please be aware that to seek possession of your property back the notice stands at 2 Months’ notice. Please do not underestimate the time involved in court proceedings should a tenant not vacate your property when given notice. It is a criminal offence to evict a tenant without a court order and these can take anything from 3/6 months. This is why it is important to choose your Agent wisely.
Next Steps
After agreeing a let on your property, our application/credit check process is strict, and all tenants must pass on all levels. This will minimise potential risk in the future with any potential defaults on the rental payments.
We understand the high demand for property in the current market climate, but we never let our strict application process be waivered by this. The ever-changing Government Rules can make it difficult for Landlords to understand the process, but with our knowledge and understanding of such changes make us ready to make decisions for you to keep you compliant and protecting your asset along with advising you of your Legal obligations.
