1/3 off fees for new business for NRLA members
NRLA members get 1/3 off published fees for new business on any of our landlord service levels – Let Only, Rent Collection, or Fully Managed (The discount covers management fees only, and is not available on ancillary products and services).
Fully Managed - Our Fully Managed option is our most popular service for landlords, as it covers everything. We use high profile marketing to find the best tenants, carrying out viewings and completing reference checks.
Once an agreement is in place and the tenant moves in, we manage the day-to-day requirements of letting a property, including rent collection, thorough property visits and in-depth inspection reports, ongoing maintenance, and legislation compliance.
Rent Collection – This option is for landlords who prefer to be a bit more hands on with their investment. We find the best tenants for the property and provide monthly rent collection services, but the landlord looks after the management of their property (including dealing with any tenant enquiries) themselves.
Let Only – This option is for experienced landlords who know about legislation compliance and how to handle the day-to-day management of their property. We simply market the property, find a suitable tenant, and carry out referencing checks.
