(If you are thinking of becoming a new landlord, you may wish to refer to “Marketing a Property” under Residential Lettings.)

Why choose Roy Barrett ?
As well as having experienced staff, we are bound by the Rules of Conduct of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the National Association of Estate Agents. top

What is our aim?
To provide a professional service with honesty and integrity, at a competitive price. We are the “buffer” between landlords and tenants, being qualified and experienced to know how to deal with issues effectively and efficiently. top

What type of residential properties do we manage?
The residential management team is supported by our property management accounts department. We pride ourselves on giving a very personal and highly professional service. We believe that good communications with residents and clients is vital to the smooth running of the properties we manage, creating trust that all issues will be dealt with expeditiously.

We are skilled in managing a wide range of properties, including:

  • Individual properties let on regulated tenancies
  • Individual properties let on assured tenancies

We have many clients, holding large portfolios, for whom we have acted in excess of 15 years.

Our dedicated accounts department is also equipped to deal with large portfolios. top

Which tenancy agreements do we use?
Where properties are let direct to individuals we use Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements. Where properties are let to companies for the occupation of employees a Contractual Tenancy Agreement is used. In each case the agreement allows for a refundable deposit to be taken in addition to rent in advance, and allows possession to be gained by the landlord at the end of the fixed term or during the term for breach of contract. In all cases a written Schedule of Condition and Photographic Survey is agreed with the tenant to prevent disputes at the end of the tenancy. top

  • Multiple internet sites
