Indeed! Our Leeds letting service includes a monthly rent statement (sent by post) your rental income paid directly in to your bank account, periodic inspections of your rental property and a full inventory service.

Why should I choose Manning Stainton for Property Lettings in Leeds?

When tenants renting in Leeds and District think ’Property to rent’ they undoubtedly think ‘Manning Stainton’.

Every Landlord knows that each day's property rental void (the property standing empty) is lost revenue. For this reason, we have a pro-active team dedicated to matching properties to rent  to tenants wishing to find a property, to reduce rental voids.

Can I have my property rental payments made directly into my bank account?

Certainly!  As a matter of course we pay property rent collected on behalf of landlords whose properties we manage directly into their bank accounts so there is no delay in them obtaining their rental funds or inconvenience in paying them in at a bank.

What happens if my tenant is made redundant or becomes ill and is unable to pay the rent for the property?

We have all our tenants rigorously vetted but sometimes they can find themselves unable to pay the rent due to unforeseen circumstances.

This can make them reluctant to leave the property! To cover this eventuality, our property management package in Leeds sensibly includes a rent guarantee to protect our landlords.

What exactly does the Rent Guarantee package include?

It offers a guarantee of paying you the monthly rental income on your property (excluding the first month’s lost rent) until the tenant moves out (A major relief when you need the income to cover those buy-to-let mortgage repayments!).

It also covers legal expenses – cover up to £50,000 in respect of gaining vacant possession of the property (Not the nicest job in the world, but we can help here).

Finally, it includes half of the rental income for up to 3 months after vacant possession has been gained (terms and conditions apply).

With years of lettings experience, we know the Leeds rental market like the back of our hand. We think that local Leeds knowledge and reliable local trades people are all-important when managing property.

We also know that good agent-tenant communication can stop a plumbing or electrical problem escalating into a drama. We'd be delighted to manage your rental property - why not call us to discuss fees?
