TOWNHALL LETTINGS | Property to Let Cambridge | Comprehensive Property Management Cambridge | Guaranteed Rent Homes Cambridge

1. A wealth of knowledge - If you are willing to work with a tenant who requires some assistance from us, we will be willing to assist you to make the arrangement work. At Cambridge City Council, you will be able to access a wealth of knowledge relating to housing law, housing standards, welfare benefits and the local rental market.

2. Maximising your yield - We understand that making a good return on your investment is important to you. We will happily discuss ways of maximising your yield, such as changing your rental property into a House in Multiple Occupation and renting to multiple individuals rather than to a family.

3. Save on advertising costs and "tenant-finding" fees - We have a list of motivated tenants waiting for accommodation. If you don't want the hassle and cost of advertising for new tenants then we can help, free of charge.

4. Our tenants - We appreciate that as a landlord you will need to feel comfortable that the tenant will make sure their rent is paid and that they will look after your property well. We put forward applicants that we feel will comfortably be able to manage their tenancy. The decision is then yours as to whether to accept the prospective tenant.

The scheme is there to help households with a link to Cambridge, such as working in the area, close family in the area or current residence in the area.

For many people, the cost of moving to private rented accommodation prevents them from moving on. For some, this means that they must remain in over-crowded or otherwise unsuitable accommodation. We work hard to bridge the gap between landlord and prospective tenant.

As an experienced landlord, we know you will be familiar with the standards that the property that you are letting needs to meet. However, we are always on hand to carry out a basic check of the property to make sure the property meets those standards. We will look at:

• Whether the property is in a reasonable state of repair;
  
• Whether it meets general Health and Safety requirements;
  
• Whether the property meets fire safety requirements;
  
• Whether the property is secure.
