Lettings Process
Step 1 – Valuation
Whether you are a first time Landlord or an investor with a portfolio Oakfield are there to support you with the letting of your property. We will meet you at the property to discuss a valuation and which of our services are best suited to you.
Step 2 – Marketing details
We will take photos of the property, prepare a floorplan as well as a virtual tour of the property, this is available for potential Tenants to view prior to attending the property for a viewing to assist them with their searches. At this time we will also discuss with you all the compliance requirements for letting a property.
Step 3 – Viewings
Before organising a viewing with an applicant we ask that they complete an application form as well as ensure they have seen the virtual tour so we can ensure the right people view your property.
Step 4 – Accepting a Tenant
With the market moving as fast as it does we often have multiple applications for a property. We will always put these offers to you with all the information for you to deicide who you wish to let your property to.
Step 5 – Tenancy Progression
Once you have accepted prospective Tenants for the property we will commence with the referencing process, this consists of a credit check, verifying the Tenants income and obtaining a reference for their employment and a Landlord reference where applicable. Once we have completed referencing we will relay these references to you to confirm you are still happy to proceed.
Step 6 – Tenants move in day
Once all the Tenancy agreements have been signed and copies of all the required compliance certificates have been sent to the Tenant it is time for them to move into the property. One of our team will meet them at the property to hand over the keys and give the property a final check.
