Fully Managed Service

Letting your property is as easy as ABC

You step back. We manage the tenancy.

ABC Lettings gives landlords a safe and straightforward way to let their property. Once instructed, we confirm the rental figure, find a suitable tenant and manage the tenancy from start to finish. We set the rent at an affordable level for the tenant and may top up the rent to the agreed market rent where needed. This helps keep the tenancy affordable while giving landlords added reassurance.

Ideal for landlords who want professional oversight without managing the day-to-day tenancy themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What fees do I pay?

For our fully managed service we charge 10% of the Local Housing Allowance rate + VAT.

+ Who will be moving into my property?

ABC Lettings was set up to provide homes for families or individuals who are suitable to rent privately but not able to access via the High Street.

We will match people with your home if it is right both you and the tenant.

+ How is rent paid to me?

Your rent is guaranteed. We pay it on 1st of every month. We collect the tenant’s payments.

+ How do you take care of my asset?

We carry out property inspections more frequently than a high street agent. Inspection frequency adapts to the needs of you and the tenant.

If following an inspection we identify any issues which require action, we will find a solution quickly and efficiently.

We will always keep landlords informed every step of the way.

+ What does a property valuation involve?

We complete market research on each individual property using verified property valuation resources.

We will arrange a visit to your property with one of our expert Property Managers.

+ What happens if a tenant reports repairs?

If we become aware of a repair, we will act quickly to get this resolved. Repairs can be arranged by your own contractor, or our approved local service providers.

+ How do I contact you?

Our office hours are 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday. We can be contacted by phone on 01233 330811 or email abclettings@ashford.gov.uk.

+ How do I stay compliant?

Our expert team will guide you through the process of making sure that all regulatory and legal requirements are always met.

We are experts on the Renters Rights Act and are backed by Ashford Borough Council. We keep up to date as active members of the NRLA.

We will also help to arrange gas safety checks (LGSR) and electrical safety checks (EICR). We are also able to arrange EPC's and provide advice on upcoming regulations relating to Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES).
