Knights Landlords are better-off in the long-run

As a result of the ‘Tenant Fee Ban 2019’ the cost for a landlord to establish a tenancy has increased so, it’s crucial to secure good, long-staying tenants to protect you from having to spend out on tenancy set-up costs.

By having longer staying, happier tenants you will also benefit from fewer void periods, less wear & tear and less investment required in between the tenancies where you may have had to do some odd jobs to attract a new tenant. When you add all of this up over a period of several years, you will be thousands of pounds better off, you won’t be stressed from all the unnecessary activity and you will have more time to focus on what’s important in life.

So, if you are a Landlord looking for a long-lasting, trouble-free tenancy, contact Knights.

A Showcase of Recent Success Stories

We source and screen the very best long-staying tenants to maximise income and minimise cost

We know that Landlords want long-term tenants who will look after your property, pay a fair market rent and respect the terms of the tenancy agreement. So, our operation is geared toward achieving this objective. The vetting and screening of prospective tenants is central to creating the best outcome for our clients.

Landlords all over the globe have trusted us with their cherished assets

If you’re thinking of using an agent to rent your property, I’d definitely have no hesitation in recommending Knights. Even in a slow market, when other agents were pessimistic about the market, Knights gave us confidence that they would be able to help. They were true to their word. Thanks to Mark and Ross, within two weeks new tenants had moved in. The entire process was managed swiftly and efficiently.

We are now in our 4th year of using Knights to market our rental properties. Ross, Mark & Phillipa always respond to phone calls & emails promptly and efficiently. I would always recommend Knights over other agents we have tried and it’s nice to know you are dealing with the owners of the business, which makes it feel more personal.

Great service from Ross and Mark during the 4 years they have rented out our property for us whilst we are overseas. After two terrible experiences with other agents, it has been plain sailing since being with Knights with great communication and advice, good management and they have been quick to find tenants and keep the house occupied. Currently doing refurbs on the house but will definitely be asking Ross to market and manage the property again once it goes back on the market. Very happy to recommend them.

Having been renting out property on and off since 2000, it was a breath of fresh air to meet Ross when he came to see me and photograph our home. I particularly like their approach to marketing and the quality of the photography was clearly a couple of levels above anything I had seen before from other agents. Not only the quality but the composition made a very good impression. Since finding me a tenant the follow-up service from Mark and Ross has been tremendous.

As a first-time landlord and trying to rent our property online without success, we engaged Knights to help find a suitable tenant. The whole process was seamless. Ross’s professionalism in understanding the market the rental value of the property and knowing how to show the property at its best was spot on. The day after the property was listed, we had an enquiry and after just one viewing; a tenant. Throughout the process leading up to the tenant moving-in both Ross and Mark could not have been more helpful. I would definitely recommend them to anybody thinking of renting their property.
