Finding a tenant is only the start of the journey
As a landlord, it is not enough simply to achieve the best possible rent for your property. You also want to ensure the keys to your precious asset are in the hands of a responsible tenant.
Equally important, you want to avoid costly vacant periods between tenancies so that is why you need an estate agent you can depend on and you will find there is no one better than the multi award-winning Northfields team.
Let your property with No Deposit Option
With Northfields’ No Deposit Option, tenants can opt to pay a small monthly fee in lieu of a deposit. In return, Northfields will indemnify your property for up to 7 weeks’ rent – that’s 40% more than the traditional 5 weeks. Other benefits include:
Tenants who consider their credit scores – By opting for the No Deposit Option, your tenants rental payments contribute to their Experian credit score (usually rent does not). This gives you added peace of mind that your tenants are financially careful and have even more incentive not to default on payments.
More demand from tenants who want deposit free renting – The No Deposit Option not only benefit tenants financially, but also gives landlords a new marketing tool, creating a buzz around your property that other agents can’t match.
Minimal void periods – With higher tenant demand comes a faster process and a potential reduction in void periods.
School referral scheme
Instruct Northfields to sell or let your home and we will donate up to £250* to a local school of your choice. Find out more information here.
