The lettings industry is undergoing unprecedented change and  you need a letting agent who is ahead of that change and able to give you accurate, timely advice on how best to manage your properties. We believe that we are at the very forefront of the lettings business in the region.  Working with Anglo American you will benefit from our 23 years’ experience managing properties in Milton Keynes and the surrounding area. Our team, most of whom have been with us for at least 15 years,  have a wealth of knowledge of the lettings and property management industry.

Most importantly, we manage your properties like they were our own, we treat you and your tenants with respect and ensure your investment is managed as efficiently as possible.

We have a very simple and transparent pricing structure.  The rent we achieve for your property will include a £20 premium, inclusive of VAT in lieu of advance fees to the tenant.  Our commission of 10% plus VAT will be charged on the balance.

No other charges are levied to you throughout the term of this, or any subsequent contracts or future tenancies.

We believe in fairness and transparency and the above pricing structure not only keeps you in line with legislation,  it’s also fair on you and your tenants.

AND yes, you read correctly, that we charge no other fees for managing your property.

Yes, all prospective tenants must pass our stringent referencing criteria as well as proving their Right to Rent in the UK (if applicable). It’s vital your property gets the best possible tenants,  who will not only pay the rent on time but treat your property with respect.

Yes, for as long as the tenant remains in residence in the property, we can guarantee to pay your rent in full each month.

Yes, once our tenants are successfully referenced, the insurance we then have in place not only guarantees your rent,  but provides the legal cover we may need to pursue possession.

Yes, we are fully compliant with all Client Money Protection legislation

All tenants are given our contact number, which is  available 24/7, 365 days a year.  In the event of any maintenance issues they will call us in the first instance.  In the majority of cases we can resolve the problem quite easily, either by sending Alex round with a radiator key, checking boiler pressure and some common sense or by instructing one of our team of fully insured contractors.

In the case of a more serious problem which may incur greater expense we will discuss options with you before spending your money. We do not retain funds on account to cover maintenance costs nor do we charge any mark up, kick back or arrangement fee on invoices.

To be honest, once you have instructed us to market and manage your property, not much!  You do need to make sure you have permission to let from your mortgage provider (if applicable) and also the correct landlord insurance in place.  We deal with the remainder of the 154 different pieces of legislation that apply, a figure which is sure to rise, from making sure the property is accurately and fairly marketed to ensuring that all the correct documents are provided to the new tenants.

One of the most important things we do, once the tenant has settled into their home, is regular visits. As part of our obligation to you, our landlord, we always visit within the first 6 weeks of a new tenancy and then, as a minimum, every 3 months after that, for the duration of that tenancy. This allows us to make sure your tenants are looking after things well and that no essential maintenance issues develop and are not reported.

You may be surprised to know that sometimes tenants do not call for fear of being thought of as a nuisance tenant; we always make sure they know that we would rather they called to report something that turns out to be insignificant, rather than leave it until it becomes a major problem.  Alex is out and about in Milton Keynes every day and would rather call in somewhere to put all our minds at rest, that way we can prevent small issues turning into much bigger problems.

As well as helping us get to know our tenants, it also allows us to make sure that tenants are adhering to the terms of their contract!

Without the visit on that morning we would not have known what was happening there and been able to take the appropriate action to stop it.
