2. 99.47% of Landlords are paid rent when they expect

By managing the rental payments on a daily basis and working closely with those of our tenants who do have difficulties with their rental payments we are able to pay 99.47% of our landlords on the due date

3. Fabulous recommendations from existing Landlords

67% of new Landlords choose us due to the recommendations from our existing Landlords. Just have a look at our testimonials.

4. Trained team of professionals

Your property portfolio is so important. Therefore it is also important that the people you choose to manage your portfolio understand the law and understand what it takes to manage your asset. Every team member one at Maxine Lester Residential Lettings is either training to take NFOPP exams or have qualified. We take the management of your asset  very seriously and invest in the team to make sure that can happen.

5. Visits

We visit your property 4-6 weeks after your tenant moves in then on a quarterly basis. Not only that but you get visual reports so there are no uncertainties about our findings.

6. Regular rent increases

This year we have increased our landlord’s income by 3% with the agreement of their tenants. \this has been achieved  by providing a great service to your tenants looking after their homes and providing them with excellent customer service 

7. Highest hit rate on Rightmove

Our internet presentation helps to achieve the highest click though rate (the number of times someone looks at the details of your property) in the local area. In this way we attract more interest for your property and rent it out quicker. Recent figures show that a tenant spends as little as 3 seconds browsing each property listing online. With minimal time available to get a tenant's attention, landlords and buy-to-let investors must make first impressions count

8. Up to date Technology

We use up to date technology to enable us to bring you quality tenants. We are the only agent who has a mobile web site giving us wider exposure for your property . We are continually re-investing in the latest ideas, people and software to ensure that we remain one of the market leading agencies.

9. 'In house' Tenant Referencing

Finding the right tenant is crucial to a successful tenancy and a key part of this process is our 'in house' tenant referencing which ensures a strict policy of providing quality tenants.

10. Honesty and Confidence

We are members of the Association Of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) which means we have signed up to a strict code of conduct http://www.arla.co.uk/about-us/why-use-our-members/ and subscribe to the client money protection scheme protecting your investment http://www.nfopp.co.uk/client-money-protection-general/

We also register your tenants deposit with the Tenancy Dispute Service (TDS) which provides arbitration in the rare case that you have a disagreement with your tenant at the end of the tenancy . This saves potentially costly court fees.
