Our Lettings Service
Landlords
About English Rose Properties
Being one of the very first companies to launch an independent Residential Lettings Agency in Redhill 20 years ago, we can offer both Landlords and Tenants a wealth of lettings experience. We are an independent family-run business, highly motivated to ensure our Landlords are satisfied with every aspect of their letting in the knowledge that their property is being well cared for by the Tenant.
The Owner and Managing Director of the Company is one of a selected number of Company Directors in the UK included in the exclusive publication of Who's Who of Britain's Business Elite. This is the definitive reference source on the UK's leading professionals and their achievements and to be eligible the director has to pass a number of strict financial and performance related criteria.
It is a requisite of the Owner to train her staff to offer a professional, friendly and helpful service to meet the needs of our clients with the prime objective of offering an efficient, exclusive, high standard of customer service before, during and after the tenancy. We offer a flexible service and often go beyond the call of duty to assist in offering the best possible service to both Landlord and Tenants.
English Rose Properties specialises in Corporate Lets. We are retained by local and national companies seeking properties for their staff and corporate clients. We also work in partnership with prominent Relocation Companies sourcing specific properties for multi-national organisations as well as private individuals.
In addition to weekly advertising in the Surrey Mirror, all our properties are marketed on line through Find A Property, Primelocation, Globrix and Property Live in addition to our website which is updated daily. The location of our offices, opposite Reigate Station, attracts passing trade with major commercial businesses in close proximity.
Our strategy is to provide the Landlord with the highest possible but achievable rental valuation so as to secure a suitable tenant as quickly as possible. This has proven highly successful with the majority of our properties attracting immediate interest and resulting in a speedy let. We offer competitive, flexible rates and would like to invite Landlords to contact us for an assessment of their requirements, advice and a free valuation of their property.
Below is information on just a few of our services.

□ FULL MANAGEMENT
This level of service is suitable for clients who would like us to fully manage their property and act as the sole point of contact with the tenant throughout the term of the tenancy. After introducing a suitable tenant to the property our service includes in brief:
Collecting the rental during the tenancy period
Advising all transactions on a detailed monthly statement
Negotiating an extension of the tenancy, if desired at no extra cost
Dealing with any problems and queries raised by tenant
Arranging payment of insurances, service agreements, repairs, ground rents, service
charges, etc. where requested
Monitoring and maintaining the property
Carrying out periodic property inspections and reporting to the Landlord.
□ TENANCY ONLY
This service would suit clients wishing to collect the rental directly from the tenant but oversee the full management of the tenancy themselves:
Inspect your property and advise upon the potential rental value, furnishings and other
related matters
Prepare property details for advertising through various mediums - including the Surrey
Mirror and Homes in Surrey newspapers, Find a Property, Prime Location, Globrix and
Property Live internet portals, office window display and our weekly property list, which is
circulated to National and International Companies, Relocation Agents and our register of
waiting applicants
Arrange viewings and accompany prospective tenants to your property when appropriate
Negotiate and agree the terms of the tenancy
Take up appropriate references
Supply and prepare the Tenancy Agreement to satisfy current legislation and banker's
standing order mandate if required

Arrange for the check in with the landlord or *inventory clerk and for the keys to be handed
over to the tenant
N.B. We are also able to provide a Rent Collection Service which includes our Tenancy Only Service above with the additional benefit to the Landlord of collecting the monthly rent and dealing with any rent collection issues
□ LANDLORD INSURANCE COVER
Many Landlords believe that standard home insurance will cover their property while it is being rented. This will cover buildings and contents but most standard policies do not cover liability protection. This cover is vital in the event a tenant hurts him or herself due to a landlord's unintended negligence and tens of thousands of pounds in damages can be claimed against the Landlord for such an incident. Property owners' liability can cover the award for damages plus legal costs, and cover limits of £2,000,000 are fairly typical.
To enusure you are fully protected and covered with adequate insurance whilst your property is being rented, please contact us for further information and a brochure.
□ RENT GUARANTEE INSURANCE
Rent guarangee insurance gives the Landlord peace of mind at a time of increasing levels of unemployment and redundancies leaving tenants unable to pay their rent. The knock-on effect of the recession has meant that it can take over two months just to get a court hearing date. Meanwile the Landlord is not receiving rent.
Rent guarantee insurance will cover missed rental payments for up to 12 months and and some policies will cover 50% of the rent for up to 3 months after vacant possession has been obtained while a new tenant is found. A Landlord can take out rent guarantee cover through English Rose Properties at a favourable rate. Under certain circumstances we can provide a rent guarantee free of charge. Further information and quotes available upon application.
