Letting your house or flat doesn’t have to be complicated. We take the stress out of letting your property by doing the work for you. Our team of lettings experts across our 27 London offices are trained to match the right tenant to their ideal property and make the process as easy as possible for landlords.
By inviting one of our lettings experts into your home, we can give you an accurate idea of what your potential rental income could be, allowing your property to be matched with the right tenants as fast as possible. Our rental property valuations are based on both internal and external factors including current market conditions, comparable properties in the area, and our agent’s expert local knowledge, however we can also offer advice on how to maximise your revenue potential.
With an accurate valuation within 24 hours of visiting a property, we can then assign a direct point of contact to help you navigate through the process.

We believe in finding exactly the right tenant for your property, which means we have a rigorous set of standards that every tenant needs to meet. It’s not always easy to know how to find the right tenant, however after being around for over 160 years, we’ve created a tried and tested process.
Tenants are aware from the start what references will be required, including their financial and contractual obligations, which allows us to get a clear picture of each tenant. Thanks to this process, the lettings team knows exactly who is making an offer on your property, meaning a match is far more likely.

We believe in a very deliberate approach to property marketing, which starts with offering your property initially to pre-qualified tenants. The first viewings will then take place within 24 hours of instruction, with many properties being let before they’ve been formally launched. Following this period, the property is then added to our website and shared to the Marsh and Parsons database, which is accessed by our 27 offices.
To ensure our scope is as wide as possible, and to ensure maximum exposure for your property, we brief lettings agents across our network, allowing them to promote your property to their clients.

We understand that being a landlord isn’t always your full-time job, and that your time is precious, which is why we’ll always ask for viewing availability that suits your schedule. All of our tenant viewings are accompanied by a Marsh and Parsons agent, and feedback will be provided to you at the end of each tour. In this, we will discuss how many viewings we’ve conducted, together with our analysis and thoughts on the potential tenant.
Based on this feedback, you may be ready to move forward and find out about your landlord responsibilities, or we may discuss the need for a change in strategy.

Once a tenant has decided your property is the right match for them, they will complete a written offer form. Upon acceptance of this offer, impartial due diligence will be conducted by a third party. This includes credit, employment and previous landlord checks. Unlike many other agencies, our average initial tenancy length is 2 years, contrary to the usual 1 year with a 6 month break clause.
Once the necessary checks have been made, the Marsh and Parsons negotiator will then manage the generation of all the necessary paperwork. Assuming both parties are happy, we aim to finalise within 48 hours of the offer being agreed.

Before the tenancy commences, we will be able to advise you on the relevant landlord obligations and legislation. Our team will also arrange any necessary pre-tenancy works, conduct deposit registration and holding, and carry out inventory checks and move-ins. We will also set up the standing order for rent payments. From then on, you will have a personal agent to contact whenever you need, and at any time in the tenancy you can choose what property management services you may need.
If you feel as though you are ready to start the lettings process, you can continue down the page to fill in a valuation form, or if you need some more advice as a new landlord, you can return to the landlord hub.
