Step 1: Detailed valuation

We would like to help you let your property in the shortest possible time without compromising on your properties value. So not only do we regularly undertake valuations keeping us up to date with property prices in your area but our valuations aim to take all local benefits into account such as schools, shopping, transport and even parking. This gives us accurate knowledge on how to market your property to its full potential thus achieving your asking price.

Step 2: Come in for a coffee

We realise that letting your property can be an exciting and stressful time so to make the process easier for you we would like to meet you in order to organise the letting of your property around your schedule. This time will also be utilised to take down any specific requirements and preferences. We are able to offer out of hour’s services such as late evening or weekend viewings, we will inform you of all the marketing your property will receive and can also advise or offer gas safety certificates, electric certificates as well as an EPC.

If you're short of time no need to come in, you can register your property online.

Step 3: What suits you?

We are able to offer short terms lets which can range from a period of 6 to 9 months. This may be the ideal solution for you if your looking for high returns, flexibility, minimum void periods and rent in advance.

Finally we offer Property Management, which can be key to maximising your returns and can be an excellent marketing tool for your property. At LAOL we have a reliable building maintenance team which means we are able to offer a personalised Property Management service whereby we will look after the general day to day management of your property and deal with issues such as emergency repairs, utilities and rent collection.

Step 4: Get ready for launch

Making your property aesthetically pleasing can make all the difference to a successful let and achievement of your asking price. More than half of people looking to rent a property will make their decision upon entering based on the exterior of the premises. Therefore you may want to address any DIY jobs, gardening and maybe want to redecorate. At this stage we will visit you to take professional panoramic photographs along with our editor who will do a comprehensive property description, all in just one visit.

Step 5: Inventories

We will carry out a professional and comprehensive inventory before letting your property. This will determine the condition and contents of your property.

Step 6: Lift off

We now have everything we need to give you maximum exposure across all prime property portals, newspapers, local press and more. Registering as a client with LOAL gives you the added benefit of our marketing package allowing you to sit back and relax while we take care of getting your property noticed.

Step 7: Showtime

Our personalised service means that we can arrange viewings around your schedule. ALL viewings will be accompanied allowing added benefit of our expertise and sales experience.

Step 8: Receiving an offer

We will notify you both verbally and in writing as soon as an offer is received detailing if any conditions of the offer and the tenants ability to proceed. You can then make your decision on whether to accept the offer and may ask us for any advice or negotiations that you may want on your behalf.

Step 9: Agreement

Once you accept an offer from a tenant we will do the following on your behalf:

• Obtain references from each tenant
• Collect a deposit which usually includes rent and security deposit
• Carry out a check in and inventory
• Arrange the signing of the tenancy agreement

For your added peace of mind, where applicable we will hold the deposit as a stakeholder and register this with a deposit protection scheme, resulting in a faster and more efficient deposit release process at the end of the tenancy.

Step 10: Completion

Once the above is completed we will release the keys to the tenants on the decided moving in day. If you opted into having your property managed we will inform the tenants of the contact details of their personal property manager.
