Lettings in Marton

Marton's letting market moves fast — and most agents move faster than they should. We slow down to get the right tenant.

Why Lettings in Marton Matters

TS7 and TS8 have been some of Teesside's strongest BTL postcodes for the past 18 months. Property yields are solid; tenant demand is steady. But Marton lettings aren't just about speed — they're about retention. A rushed tenant find means a rushed eviction two years later. We vet every applicant before showing, collect Right to Rent checks ourselves, and run the tenancy side with a 95% rent collection rate across all our properties. That consistency matters in Marton, where the local rental market is tight and problem tenants cost landlords time and money they'd rather spend elsewhere.

What's Included

• Professional marketing — we photograph your property to standard, advertise on Rightmove and our own portal, and handle initial enquiries so you don't spend evenings answering calls.

• Tenant vetting — we collect references, run Right to Rent checks, and reject roughly 40% of applicants before they see the property. Saves you having to screen yourself.

• Letting agreement — we handle the AST draw-up, get signatures, and coordinate the inventory. You're protected; tenants know the terms.

• Full or let-only — choose what you need. Let-only if you're managing yourself; full management if you want us handling inspections, repairs, and rent collection.

• Access to repairs — we've got a network of vetted contractors (gas engineers, plumbers, electricians) for anything that goes wrong during the tenancy. One call to us; we sort it.

Pricing & Process

Our standard management fee is 8% of rent collected — below the 10–15% you'll see from bigger high-street agents. If you go let-only, you save the monthly fee and pay only a one-time letting fee. Most TS7 and TS8 properties we list are rented within two weeks; paperwork and the tenancy starting within another 10 days. We'll give you a fixed timeline when you brief us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What if my property doesn't rent?

A: It will. TS7 and TS8 have solid demand. If we haven't found a tenant within four weeks, we'll discount the rent by up to 5% and flag the listing as "motivated landlord." We've never had to do that in Marton.

Q: Do you handle repairs and maintenance?

A: If you take full management, yes. Day-to-day repairs, emergency breakdowns, gas safety checks, boiler servicing — we coordinate all of it. Let-only clients manage repairs themselves, but we have contacts if you need recommendations.

Q: What about Section 21?

A: Section 21 ended in October 2024. We use proper grounds — antisocial behaviour, rent arrears, breach of tenancy — if we ever need to evict. Most of the time, a conversation sorts it. We've only served proper Section 8 notices twice in two years across all our properties.

Q: How long does the letting process take?

A: Photography to tenancy signed: roughly four weeks. Marketing is live within three days of instruction. Once a tenant's interested, Right to Rent checks take 5–7 working days. If you're a let-only client, you'll do the tenancy side yourself.
