Letting Agents in UK

Jackson-Stops offers an established, market leading lettings service to landlords and tenants, with an emphasis on quality property, a thorough understanding of local markets and the provision of sound advice that helps landlords achieve their rental goals.

A raft of new legislation has recently been introduced and more is to follow. For many landlords the new regulations and extra paperwork has proved too much and they have already elected to hand the letting and management of their properties to Jackson-Stops.

Many potential tenants begin their search online so making sure the property is well photographed, correctly decorated and where appropriate furnished is critical. We offer a complementary service to landlords advising on refurbishment or redecoration; whether that is for overseas tenants renting in the capital who see period features as part of "the London experience", or those in the countryside looking for the quintessential country cottage.

Several of our offices are affiliated to local design and furniture hire companies that can provide comprehensive advice and bespoke packages at short notice. The more discerning tenants will come direct to us, bypassing the property portals, to tap into our expertise and extensive local knowledge.

The rental market is an important part of the UK property market but it is not without its pitfalls and ignorance is certainly not bliss. If you need advice you are always welcome to call upon us for expert guidance.
