Since 2000, Manners Residential has excelled in successfully letting and managing various types of homes in Woking and the surrounding area. As esteemed members of ARLA Propertymark and The Property Ombudsman, we assure you of our professional handling of both you and your property throughout the entire letting process.
Whether you're a first-time landlord, an experienced property portfolio owner, or temporarily renting out your family home while abroad, our flexible service options allow you to choose what suits you best. With a comprehensive range of services available, you have the freedom to decide how much time you wish to dedicate to managing your rental property and tenants, or leave it entirely in our capable hands.
As specialists in lettings and property management, our friendly and approachable team possesses extensive experience in all aspects of the rental marketplace and property management. We understand the significance of selecting the right tenant, maintaining your property to a high standard, ensuring compliance with current legislation, achieving a continuous and profitable rental yield, and minimising void periods.
We would be delighted to provide you with a complimentary rental assessment of your property. Our experienced staff, equipped with excellent local knowledge, will deliver an accurate rental valuation, offer advice on legal compliance and health and safety requirements, and suggest any property improvements that could enhance your rental income.
For your financial peace of mind, we prioritise the protection of tenancy deposits through The Dispute Service (TDS), and we provide client money protection (CMP) through Propertymark.
At Manners Residential, we provide a comprehensive range of lettings and property management services, and our approach is highly adaptable to meet your specific requirements.
Regardless of the service you select, we take care of crucial tasks such as conducting tenant references and right to rent checks, offering guidance on legal and safety obligations, negotiating lease renewals and rental adjustments, and overseeing the initiation and conclusion of tenancies.
Our goal is to ensure a smooth and hassle-free rental experience for both landlords and tenants.
