Lettings in Normanby

Renting out a property in Normanby takes more time than most landlords expect. You need a tenant find partner who handles the marketing, the viewings, the vetting — and then the paperwork — so you don't have to.

Why Lettings in Normanby Matters

TS6 is one of Middlesbrough's steadiest rental postcodes. Properties here attract professionals and families — but only if you market them right and filter tenants properly. A bad tenant pick costs weeks of admin and potential arrears. Our lettings service in Normanby covers everything: photography, listing, viewings, referencing, tenancy docs, and handover. We filter applicants hard — about 40% don't make it past our checks — which means you see fewer viewings but meet higher-calibre tenants. Rent gets paid. Problems stay smaller.

What's Included

• Tenant find & marketing — Professional photos, listings on Rightmove and Zoopla, targeted Facebook ads, and weekly update calls with you on inquiries.
• Referencing & vetting — Credit checks, employment verification, previous landlord references, and Right to Rent checks. We reject around 40% of applicants before viewings.
• Tenancy documents — Assured shorthold tenancy agreement, deposit prescribed into a DPS, and all legal compliance checks completed.
• Viewings & communication — We show the property, qualify interested parties, and handle tenant questions so your phone stays quiet.
• Handover & onboarding — Keys transferred, inventory signed off, and the tenant's first month set up cleanly so nothing falls through the cracks.

Pricing & Process

Let-only lettings (find + handover) are billed on a per-let basis. Full management runs at 8% of monthly rent — well below the 10–15% you'll pay most high-street agents. Most vacancies in TS6 fill within 2 weeks. You choose the service level: some landlords want find-only and manage the tenancy themselves; others hand us the full job. No fixed term; you can stop if you're unhappy, though most landlords stick with us long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I use a lettings agent instead of advertising the property yourself?

A: You save time on photography, listing, screening calls, and viewings. More importantly, we catch things you'd miss — arrears history, fraud, tenancy disputes at previous addresses. Our reference checks reject about 40% of applicants before they reach your inbox. That shrinks your risk of a problem tenant significantly.

Q: What's the difference between let-only and full management?

A: Let-only is find + handover. We source the tenant, vet them, create the tenancy agreement, and hand over the keys. You collect the rent and handle repairs. Full management (8% of monthly rent) covers all of that plus rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, and tenant communication. Most landlords with 2+ properties go for full management to save admin headache.

Q: How long does it take to let a property in Normanby?

A: Average is 2 weeks from your first call to keys in a tenant's hands. Depends on condition and price — a well-presented TS6 property at market rent fills faster. If your place sits longer, we'll feedback why and adjust the strategy.

Q: What happens if a tenant stops paying rent?

A: We chase them immediately — first by email and phone, then a formal letter. Most arrears clear within 10–14 days. If it escalates, we advise on your next steps (payment plan, formal notice, court process), but that's your decision. We document everything and escalate with a call to you.

Q: Do you handle deposit disputes?

A: We prescribe your deposit into an authorised scheme on day one and keep detailed photos and inventory signed by both you and the tenant. When the tenancy ends, we process the return or deduction — if the tenant disputes it, the scheme mediates. Disputes are rare when the paperwork is tight from the start.
