Tailored Service
Anderson Hacking offers two distinct services, dependent on how you wish to rent your property either on a long-term basis under an Assured Period Tenancy (APT) or for Holiday Lettings. Either way, we maintain a flexible attitude, and are generally able to adapt our Service to meet our client’s individual circumstances and needs, for example by providing a part only service, or occasionally by taking on additional tasks and duties such as independent inventories or house inspections.
Long Let – Firstly offering your property to rent on a long-term basis can now be done on an Assured Periodic Tenancy (APT) as now classed under the Renters Rights Act 2025. Outlined below are the two basic elements of this service.
Full Management
This is our inclusive service, which provides for the marketing of the property and carrying out viewings, leading to the introduction and vetting of a prospective Tenant.
Once the referencing and negotiations have proved satisfactory, we will then go ahead and prepare the tenancy agreement and an inventory, and collect the deposit monies and first months’ rent on your behalf and hold it in our separate, and insured, Client Account. The Tenant will then be ‘checked in’ against the inventory and meter readings taken on day of occupation.
During the tenancy we carry out periodic inspection visits and prepare property reports with photos and floor plans highlighting any concerns. Should these bring to light any maintenance issues, we will (within the confines of our Management Agreement) recommend, oversee and account for any necessary repairs. However, you will be informed before any works are carried out.
Collecting and processing of monthly rental payments is also part of the Service. These will be credited automatically to the Landlord’s nominated bank account.
This Service is suitable for those Landlords who are not residing locally, or would rather not deal with the Tenants directly, preferring all aspects to be handled by an Agent.
Letting only
Our Letting Only Services includes marketing of the property and carrying out viewings, leading to the introduction and vetting of a prospective Tenant. This proving satisfactory, we will then go ahead and prepare the tenancy agreement, and inventory, and complete the Check In service as described above.
Following this, the first month’s rent and deposit will be collected and credited to the Landlord, less our agreed fee. Managing the tenancy, including any maintenance issues and rent collection, will then be the responsibility of the Landlord.
