People often say that property is an easy way to make money, but that is certainly not the case. And being a landlord is not always that easy either. It involves a considerable commitment, good (hopefully long-term) tenants and keeping a careful eye on costs.

David Burt Property Letting offers several significant cost benefits over other high street letting agents, including the fact that:

• We do NOT add anything to contractors’ bills for works on your properties.

• All our costs are agreed in advance and clearly shown by separate invoice.

• VAT is NOT added to ANY of our costs.

We will provide you with the peace of mind of knowing that we are dealing with everything for you, from finding and selecting suitable tenants, collecting and forwarding their rents, and dealing with any problems that crop up during the tenancy right through to the final check out and release of deposit.

For example, if you have long-standing tenants who hardly ever contact you but simply pay the rent every month without any problems – you obviously wouldn’t want to be paying a management fee every month! However, if you don’t live near your rental property, it can be really difficult to sort out any problems or organise any work however rarely these arise.

​

But with David Burt Property Letting’s innovative “on call property management” service, all you have to do if a problem does arise is give us a call and we will sort everything out for you and simply invoice you for our time and any the cost of any work. And of course we are happy to provide you with detailed quotations before we undertake any work.
