Assured Shorthold Tenancies
We offer prepared tenancy agreements to an extensive list of quality status checked clients, along with the preparation of all necessary paperwork and services required to meet your legal obligations.
There is no minimum time period for an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, although the landlord cannot obtain a court order for possession of the property within the first six months of tenancy. For this reason we usually recommend that the tenancy agreement is for six months, this binds both the landlord and tenant to this period of time. Please note that an Assured Shorthold Tenancy cannot be granted where the landlord is present on the premises.
Corporate Services
When your employees are being relocated you want the transition to be as hassle free as possible for them.

Premium Lettings
Austin Holmes Premium Lettings Service is the most effective way to ensure your exclusive property targets the right audience. A premium rental property is one of real quality of any size and value.
A premium property is an excellent if not exceptional property within its own right, whether a one bedroom apartment, semi or detached or a country house.
For landlords of Premium Lettings Properties the additional no extra cost benefits are:
- Virtual Tours
- Floor Plans
- Targeted Marketing
Inventory
When a new tenancy begins, a record is made of the contents and condition of the property. This record is the inventory and because it becomes a binding legal agreement when it is signed by both Landlords (or their Agent) and tenant, it is essential that it is accurate and thorough.
A professionally produced inventory serves the interests of the tenant and landlord, especially with the tenancy deposit scheme, as it can help prevent disputes over the return of deposits at the end of a tenancy.
New Developments
Our New Developments Service offers clients a complete package to ensure their property stands out from the crowd with the look and feel necessary to attract a quality tenant.
We offer the following:
- Letting and Management
- Interior Design

Summary
There is much to do when letting out your property. Firstly, you need to prepare the place so it is ready to let. This involves sorting out rent collection, insurance cover, utility bills, council tax, keys and inventories, credit checks, and getting safety checks for gas, electrics and appliances. As your property manager we can do all this for you.
Once your property is fit for people to move in we, will then manage it throughout the tenancy, providing regular account statements along the way.
