Tenant Find in Marton
Your Marton property is empty and full-service agents want 10–15% of the year's rent. Tenant find from Ascot Knight in TS7 and TS8 cuts that — we source and vet, you place and keep the margin.
Why Tenant Find in Marton Matters
Marton landlords in TS7 and TS8 often manage smaller portfolios — maybe a property or two picked up as investment. Void periods hit hard: every week empty costs you rent. Tenant find gets your property let quickly without tying you to an agent for the next three years. Our tenant-vetting process filters out roughly 40% of applicants before viewing — tenants who don't pass reference, employment, or credit checks. That means the tenants you meet have already passed the hard part. On average, we fill vacancies in around two weeks. You get peace of mind and a placed tenant within days, not months.
What's Included
- Advertising and sourcing — We list your property across Rightmove, Zoopla, and SpareRoom, fielding inquiries and filtering time-wasters so you don't have to.
- Background referencing — Employment checks, previous landlord references, credit screening, and Right to Rent verification. If they don't pass, they don't get a viewing.
- Viewings and scheduling — We coordinate your availability, show prospective tenants round, and gather their details so you have full information at handover.
- Tenancy setup — Once you've chosen the tenant, we draft the tenancy agreement, arrange deposit schemes, and ensure everything's documented for compliance.
- Handover and support — We walk through the property with your tenant, explain the utilities and terms, and provide our contact details for the first month should anything go wrong.
Pricing / Process
We've found that landlords who use tenant find complete the whole process — from advertising to moving in — in two to three weeks. Here's how it works:
- Week 1: You give us a property description and viewing availability. We list the property and begin fielding inquiries.
- Weeks 2–3: We vet applicants and arrange viewings. You meet pre-checked tenants, choose your preferred candidate.
- Move-in: We prepare the tenancy agreement, arrange the deposit scheme, and walk through the property with the new tenant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between tenant find and ongoing management?
A: Tenant find is a one-off service — we find and vet tenants, then hand you the keys and move on. You keep the property, collect the rent, manage repairs. Ongoing management means we handle rent collection, inspections, repairs, and complaint resolution for the duration of the tenancy. Many landlords choose tenant find if they're experienced and prefer low-cost, hands-on management. Others prefer management if they want the whole job done for them.
Q: How long does tenant find usually take?
A: Two to three weeks from advertising to move-in, depending on the property and your viewing availability. Most of that time is spent finding the right applicant and running background checks. We've learned that rushing the vetting stage saves you three weeks now and costs you months later.
Q: What checks do you run on tenants?
A: We verify employment, request references from previous landlords, run credit checks, and verify Right to Rent status with immigration records. Applicants who fail any of these don't progress. We aim to eliminate uncertainty before you meet a prospective tenant.
Q: Can I still use my own inventory agent or manage the let myself afterward?
A: Absolutely. Tenant find is yours to do what you like with — collect rent yourself, use a different agent for management later, whatever works for you. We hand over a properly referenced, vetted tenant and a signed tenancy agreement. What happens next is entirely your call.
Q: Do you charge if the tenant pulls out before move-in?
A: That depends on the timing and circumstances. We'll discuss it when you book. In most cases, if a tenant withdraws after all checks have passed and you've approved them, we'll vet and re-market quickly at no extra cost.
