Lettings & Property Management
At LPandM, we offer two letting services: let only and full management. Our let only service includes marketing the property, finding tenants, documentation, and Deposit Scheme registration. This option is ideal for landlords who want to manage their property but need help with the initial setup. Our full management service, on the other hand, takes care of all the repairs and safety aspects of the property, freeing up your time and allowing you to enjoy the maximum performance and return on your investment. Both services can be tailor-made to suit the landlord and/or property requirements.
