A letting plan for your new homes
For developers building 5 to 50 homes in Greater Manchester who plan to rent some or all of them. We write you a free letting plan, fill the homes when they're ready and manage them afterwards.
- Free letting plan
- Published fees, no extras
- No tie-in, 30 days' notice
What's in the letting plan
- The rent to expect for each type of home, with the evidence: official figures and current listings nearby, each with its source and date.
- Who is likely to rent them, and what they'll expect.
- A marketing and launch timetable, working back from your completion date.
- How quickly the homes should fill.
- Our fees, in full.
- What happens once the homes are let.
It runs to two to four pages of plain English. Rents are estimates, and we label them that way. We don't guarantee rent or occupancy.
Filling the homes
Before completion
We agree the rents and the launch date with you, and prepare the adverts.
Marketing and viewings
We advertise the homes, run the viewings and keep you up to date on enquiries.
Checks
Every applicant is referenced and has a Right to Rent check. You approve each tenant.
Moving in
Tenancy agreements, the written information tenants must be given, inventories, and help protecting each deposit.
Managing them afterwards
Under full management we check the rent arrives, arrange repairs at cost, inspect each home and remind you before safety certificates run out. Rent is paid straight to you. We never hold your money.
One date to plan for: between 15 May and 14 August 2027, landlords in Greater Manchester must register each rented home with the government. Our guide explains how.
