Landlords Services
Let your property with confidence
Whether you’re a first-time landlord or managing a growing portfolio, AR Lettings offers reliable, professional support tailored to your needs.
We understand that every landlord is different, so we provide flexible services designed to make letting your property straightforward, compliant and stress-free.
Something special
Landlords with rental properties in residential blocks managed by Austin Rees benefit from a holistic service that ensures their tenants really understand the community. And because our Lettings Team work closely with our Property Block Managers, any issues are quickly resolved to prevent them becoming serious problems.
Letting your property with complete peace of mind
Your property is a valuable asset. Whether you are letting a former family home, building a portfolio, or investing for long-term income, you need confidence that your property is being professionally managed and your interests fully protected.
At AR Lettings, we provide a proactive, professional service designed to safeguard your investment, maximise rental income and minimise risk. We understand that successful property ownership is about more than simply finding tenants – it is about protecting capital value, maintaining compliance and ensuring a positive rental experience for everyone involved.
Marketing that delivers results
A successful tenancy starts with attracting the right tenants.
We employ a targeted marketing strategy designed to maximise exposure and generate high-quality enquiries. Depending on the property and location, this may include professional signage, prominent office displays, online advertising and direct marketing to our extensive applicant database.
Your property will also benefit from exposure through leading property portals and digital marketing channels, helping us reach motivated tenants quickly and efficiently.
Additional services available for landlords
We advise all our landlords to instruct an independent inventory so that an accurate assessment of damages, if any, can be made and charges levied from the Tenancy Deposit.
We work with Smartlets to provide this service at a cost of £130.00 (+VAT). Smartlets are regulated by AIIC.
If gas is supplied in the property landlords are required by law to provide an Annual Gas Safety Certificate.
Our fees, which include liaising with contractors, are £130.00 (+ VAT) for the inspection of the boiler and cooker hobs (if applicable).
It is the landlord’s responsibility to ensure that the property is habitable and complies with Health and Safety requirements. In the event of a fire caused by an electricity fault in the property, the landlord may be found liable.
The fees for carrying out an inspection is £260.00 (+ VAT). There would be additional costs if the inspection fails.
Landlords are required to provide an Electrical Safety Certificate for each property every five years.
Landlords are required by law to provide inspection of energy ratings prior to a property offered to let on the open market £130.00 (+ VAT).
It is a legal requirement that all rented properties have working smoke alarms on every level of the property. It is also best practice to ensure that Carbon Monoxide Detectors are supplied if the property has Gas.
Installation Fees are £80.00 (incl VAT) per detection unit plus an annual fee of £30.00 (incl VAT) for checks and inspections.
This helpful guide – The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015 produced by HM Government provides you the information you need to ensure your rental property is safe.
You will also find useful information in the HM Government booklet Fire Safety in Shared and Rented Accommodation.
It is strongly advised that you consider rent protection in the rare cases that the tenant falls in to arrears. AR Lettings is unable to give legal advice in these matters, however we are able to provide information of services available.
With our Fully Managed Service we will visit the property after the first three months of a tenancy and carry out a free inspection and report back to you.
If you require any additional inspections, they are charged at £120.00 (+ VAT) per inspection.
It is a legal requirement that all deposits are registered with a tenancy deposit scheme.
We charge a fee of £70.00 (+ VAT) to register a deposit for fully managed properties.
What people are saying about us
They already managed our small block of flats very efficiently. When we came to look for new tenants, we decided to use their letting services as well. Bradley has been great at helping to prepare our flat (cleaning/clearing/repairs etc) ready for the new tenants, and has been really flexible & responsive, which has allowed us to get our new tenants moved in as quickly as possible.
