We specialise in residential lettings across Cambridge and surrounding areas. Our services include market appraisal, tenant sourcing, and lease agreement preparation. Landlords benefit from our local expertise and structured marketing approach, while tenants access carefully vetted properties. Our fees start at 60% of first month's rent for let-only arrangements.

Our full management service covers compliance, maintenance coordination, and rent collection. Partners oversee individual properties to maintain service quality. Fees start at 12% of monthly rent, with transparent breakdowns for inspections, inventory updates, and dispute resolution included in our client protection schemes.
Tenant Referencing
We conduct comprehensive tenant assessments including credit checks, employment verification, and landlord references. Guarantor evaluations and contract negotiations ensure tenancy security. This service costs 105 per tenant or guarantor, with detailed reports provided to landlords for informed decision-making.

Deposits are protected under the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, with dispute resolution available through the Property Ombudsman. We charge 6 monthly for deposit administration, covering TDS registration and compliance. Final deductions require mutual agreement or independent arbitration as mandated by housing regulations.
