Here’s how we can help
you!

We’ll meet to discuss and agree your particular needs and provide you with an information pack to help you understand the formalities of letting your property. We’ll appoint local letting agents to provide you with appraisals and market your property to find suitable tenants. Throughout the marketing effort we’ll monitor progress and keep you up to date.

Managing your property
and your tenants, for you

By the time your first tenants move in it’s easy to think that everything is over and done with but that’s where good management changes to sustained quality care for you, your property and your tenant. Helping you over the marketing and legal hurdles is one thing, negotiating an obstacle course and coming first in the high jump is quite different! It’s not just a case of collecting the rent and dealing with everyday maintenance issues, everyone involved in the management of your property is dedicated to looking after your interests, maintaining good relationships between you and your tenant, appointing the contractors you choose, checking that works are completed to everyone’s satisfaction and making sure that bills are paid on time. The benefits of sustained care and attention to detail are many, not least of these to you as a landlord are; prompt payment of the rent, respect for your property, longer tenancies and reduced void periods.

Testimonials:

“I have nothing but good things to say about your service and will definitely recommend you to others. You’ve been responsive, thorough and professional throughout.”
S. Shoaib

"When I went to live in the US, I was going to use a local firm in St. Albans and one of my colleagues in the US told me I should use Rushbrook & Rathbone... I'm really glad I did! They do everything and are ideal for overseas landlords. They post all of your invoices etc, onto a website and all correspondence is done via email. They specialise in property management and don't actually act as letting agents - they use three local letting agents to advertise the property when it comes up for renewal. They find all contractors you need and they provide estimates etc, when stuff needs to be done and ask if you're ok with it before they commence.”
Richard Hughes

I have to say that you & your company have been excellent to deal with. I hope our estate agents back in Australia are as efficient, friendly and as professional towards our tenants. Rushbrook personalises the process which helps reduce the unavoidable stress normally associated with moving houses.”
