Our unique service, step by step 1. Market Appraisal Milestone can provide you with a free market appraisal and advise on any work which may be required to ensure your property attracts quality tenants paying the highest achievable rental figure. We can, also, advise on steps which may need to be taken to comply with the ‘ever-changing’ rules and regulations prior to offering the property ‘to let’.

2. Marketing and Advertising All of our properties are advertised on our popular dedicated website www.milestoneresidential.com, together with the largest national property portals ‘Rightmove’, ‘Zoopla’ & ‘Primelocation’. ‘To Let’ boards will be arranged, together with local press advertising and displays within our network of offices.

3. Referencing All prospective tenants are fully referenced by an independent agency, who will check the tenants identity, employment status, credit history and also gain references from previous landlords if applicable. Only tenants who pass our vigorous referencing checks and who have been approved by the landlord will be offered the property.

4. Tenancy Agreement Your property will be let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement usually for an initial term of 6 to 12 months. Longer and shorter initial terms can be arranged and this can be discussed further with us if required. The tenancy agreement is an important document and provides the contract between landlord and tenant in which the different responsibilities are explained.

5. Inventory We will arrange for an independent Inventory and Schedule of Condition of the property prior to the tenant moving in to record both the condition of the property and anything left in place including carpets and curtains etc. It is essential that an accurate record is taken as this can then be used to compare the condition at the end of the tenancy should a claim against the deposit need to be made.

6. Deposit Since The Housing Act of 2004 came in to force in 2007, all deposits must be held in an approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme. We would collect the 6 week deposit, forward it to the TDS (Tenants Deposit Scheme). The deposit can then be used to off-set charges for breakages/damages or for rent arrears occurring during the term, if applicable.

7. Rent Arrears The agent will inform the Landlord as soon as practically possible of any delay or default on the rent and will make best endeavours to obtain the arrears and advise further action if necessary. Rental income can be guaranteed via certain insurance policies which we can suggest, if necessary.

8. Landlord’s Obligations to find out more and to view all our available properties please visit

The Landlord has a duty under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 to keep the property in a good state of repair and to keep all wiring, plumbing, heating, electrical and gas appliances provided in safe and good working order.

Legislation is continuously changing and Milestone can keep you up-to-date with all necessary obligations that apply.

9. Preparing your Property There are many things to consider when renting your property, one being to offer the property either furnished or unfurnished.

Milestone Residential will help you in your decision, giving you professional guidance as to which is the better option – or maybe advising you to keep your options open. We will also guide you with regard to decor – it is true to say that applicants would prefer properties with a neutral decor throughout giving the property a fresh and clean impression, which has also been well maintained. lt is a legal requirement that prior to the marketing of a property an Energy Performance Certificate is required. We are able to gain access to a website to establish if there is one for your property.

Should this not be the case we will arrange for a company to call you for the Certificate to be completed.

10. Let Only • Rent Collect • Fully Managed We will discuss with you’re the service that is most suitable to you. We do offer a very competitive fee and are happy to discuss with you our fee structure, as it can be a false economy to choose an agent on purely the fee offered.
