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.

Despite the market, Ross was able to have one of our houses rented within a matter of weeks, more importantly, he found the appropriate tenant, who has been a delight thus far; thanks Ross, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Excellent service from letting our property to the way it was managed while we were abroad. Both Mark and Ross were dynamic, professional and had high standards. The property was marketed quickly and photographs were better than rival agents ensuring viewings began immediately. We let our property within a couple of days and we were delighted. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

I was very impressed by the service provided by Ross and Mark at Knights Estate Agents. They were very proactive in contacting me and gaining my business in a professional manner. They approached the marketing of my property with an attention to detail and an accuracy that I have found sadly lacking in other agencies. They kept me fully informed of how the search for tenants was progressing. They repeatedly demonstrated a strong understanding of the rental market and of web search traffic. Knights gave me very good advice and were extremely straightforward to deal with. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. I will use this company again to market my properties.

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.
