Questions about HMO guaranteed rent in Retford

Do you handle repairs as well as lettings?

Yes. Our maintenance team carries out repairs and planned work, so reported problems don't wait for a separate contractor to be found.

What do tenants pay you?

Tenants don't pay us letting fees. Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, only certain payments such as rent and a capped deposit can be charged. Our fees page sets this out.

How do you find tenants for rooms in Retford?

We advertise each room, carry out viewings, reference applicants and handle move-in, with rooms let under the tenancy rules in force at the time.

Who keeps the HMO licence conditions up to date?

As managing agent we keep the compliance diary: certificates, fire alarm testing records, inspections and anything the licence conditions require.
