Letting a home in Doncaster should be simple: a fair rent, a well referenced tenant and paperwork that protects you. In practice, letting law now runs to more than 168 pieces of legislation, portals reward well presented listings, and a bad tenant choice can cost a year of income. Our residential lettings service exists so you get the rent without the risk, whichever level of involvement you want to keep.

Three ways to let with us

Let only / tenant find. We value, market, hold viewings, reference the tenant and set the tenancy up correctly. You manage the tenancy from there. Right for confident, hands on landlords.
Full management. Everything in let only, plus rent collection, arrears chasing, maintenance, compliance and inspections for 14% of the monthly rent. Right for landlords who want income, not a second job.
Guaranteed rent. A fixed monthly payment for an agreed term, paid whether the property is occupied or not. Right for landlords who value certainty above everything.

What a good let looks like

Whichever service you choose, the fundamentals are the same and we do not cut corners on any of them:

A realistic valuation. A realistic rent based on what comparable Doncaster homes actually let for, not an inflated figure to win your instruction.
Proper marketing. Listings across the major portals with photography and descriptions that earn clicks from quality applicants.
Thorough referencing. Credit checks, affordability, previous landlord references and right to rent checks on every adult.
Compliant setup. A watertight tenancy agreement, deposit protected with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (membership G13462), a detailed inventory and every certificate in place before keys are handed over.

Getting your property ready to let

Before any tenancy starts in England, the basics have to be right: an Energy Performance Certificate rated E or better, a current gas safety certificate if there is gas, a satisfactory electrical installation report (EICR), working smoke alarms on every floor and a carbon monoxide alarm where required. Beyond the legal floor, presentation moves the rent. Clean, neutral and well photographed homes let faster and to better applicants than tired ones, and small spends on decoration often pay back within months. At your free valuation we will walk the property with you and list exactly what is worth doing, what is legally required and what can wait.

What it costs

Full management is 14% of the monthly rent, with tenant find, setup and ongoing management all inside that figure, and no setup, renewal, inspection or admin fees on top. Let only is charged as a one off fee agreed at valuation. Every charge we make is published on the fees page before you instruct us, because comparing agents is impossible when fees hide in the small print.

Moving to Doncaster from further afield?

We also arrange relocation and international lets. If you are moving to South Yorkshire for work, or arriving from overseas and need a home sorted before you land, we can find and set up a tenancy on your behalf. Employers relocating staff to the area are welcome to get in touch too.
