selling or letting?
When you instruct Bruach to let your property you will automatically benefit from our unrivalled, comprehensive marketing package.
In just one visit we will collect all marketing elements for your property including: floor plans, colour photographs and have them live on our website within days, alongside local information, location maps, aerial views.
We will also advertise your property on not only our website and social media pages, but also Rightmove, Zoopla and our office window displays.
As a landlord, you have an obligation to ensure that your property complies with all the necessary regulations covering the safety of gas appliances, electrical installations and any furnishings supplied for the tenancy.
Bruach can advise you on all necessary legislation that applies to you and arrange the necessary inspections. We will also keep a record of inspection dates, any defects identified and any remedial action taken.
As landlord you are responsible for the building and accordingly are required to provide relevant Buildings and Contents Insurance for your own items as well as landlord insurance. The tenant is responsible for insuring their own possessions; therefore, the landlord cannot and will not be held responsible for any loss suffered by the tenant whatever the circumstances.
Our offices are open 9am-5:00pm Monday to Friday. Evenings and Weekends by appointment as standard. Our longer opening hours are essential – over 40% of viewings are carried out after work and at weekends. Bruach strives to meet the demand for a personal high quality client service tailored to meet the individual needs of the client and are personally committed to delivering the results our clients expect and deserve.
Once a suitable tenant has been found, we will apply for references on your behalf. If the tenant proves to be acceptable, we then proceed to the next stage.
Many tenants, especially corporate tenants, prefer to rent managed properties. Instructing Bruach to manage your property guarantees round-the-clock care for both your property and your tenant. After finding you a tenant, we take care of both them and you throughout the tenancy, including everything from collecting rent and handling all administration to assistance with more complex issues and the provision of a 24-hour emergency helpline.
As soon as an offer is received we will contact you to communicate full details of an offer along with any special conditions to help you decide whether or not to accept.
Once you accept an offer we will do the following, regardless of whether your property is managed:
If your tenant paid a deposit on or after 6 April 2007, you must use a tenancy deposit protection scheme. This means your tenant’s deposit is safeguarded and there are procedures in place to sort out problems about the deposit at the end of the tenancy, should they arise.
Within thirty days of receiving the deposit, you must place it into an authorised deposit protection scheme, and provide notice to the tenant about the scheme and their rights.
Upon completion, keys will be released to the inventory clerk or the tenant on moving-in day. For managed properties, we will provide the tenant with contact details of their dedicated Property Manager. Congratulations, your property is now let!
