Letting your property can be a daunting prospect. That is why we are here – to make the process as hassle-free as possible.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE

We will give you professional guidance regarding legal and safety requirements, giving you peace of mind. Ellis & Co is primed to offer advice on the lettings market, provide professional management services, and ensure your investment is working for you.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

The first step is to meet with a representative from our lettings department. We will be able to make recommendations to maximise the letting potential of your property and advise on a realistic rental value.

We can help you decide whether letting is for you and the kind of tenants that will suit your property. This service is provided free of charge and without obligation.

If you are planning on letting your property now or in the future, please call us to arrange a completely free, no-obligation market appraisal.
