Established in Shropshire for over 40 years D B Roberts lettings is part of market leading Estate Agent D B Roberts & Partners with 14 branches in Shropshire, Staffordshire and the West Midlands. We have lettings centres at our branches in Shrewsbury, Telford Centre, Wellington, Oakengates & Shifnal supported by dedicated management centre which serves all areas.
We can offer expert advice to Landlords who have property to let in the Shrewbury and Telford Areas. Attention to detail, approachability and experience have earned us an excellent reputation for our estate agency service. You will find these same qualities in our lettings service.
Our clients include private owners letting for the first time, those living abroad but still owning rented property in the UK, and multiple investors renting a large number of houses. Whichever of these you are, you will find our letting service just right for you.
Many firms of estate agents treat Lettings as a sideline and may not offer the knowledge and expertise to ensure that your interests, either as a landlord or a tenant, are protected. If you are thinking of letting your property, or perhaps considering appointing a new agent, please take the time to see what D B Roberts & Partners Lettings can offer you as a client.
Reliable rental valuation advice
One of our experienced specialist rental valuers will visit your property by appointment and advise you on all aspects of letting, including rental values and the state of the market. They will also advise you on legal requirements such as safety certificates. We make no charge for this valuable service.
Prominent Branches
Our Lettings Centre is 100% dedicated to lettings and managing property throughout Telford, and beyond and is the only such office in Telford Centre. . Furthermore, details of properties available for rent are available from our 4 other well-situated residential sales branches in Wellington, Oakengates, Shifnal and Newport. If your agent has an out-of-town office – or even no office at all – your property will be seen by fewer prospective tenants.
Specialist Staff
We have staff dealing exclusively with the letting and management of property. They devote their whole time and attention to lettings, without the distractions of dealing with properties for sale. Their knowledge and experience of lettings reflects their specialisation – and shows in the service which you get.
Your property will be widely advertised
In addition to display in our offices and erection of an eye-catching ‘To Let’ board outside your property (if required), we also run a large and prominent advertisement every week in the local press – with photographs. We do not charge advertising to our clients.
Free Internet display – with photographs
Every available property is displayed on our web-site, with colour photographs, until it is let. Prospective tenants can view and download details of individual properties anywhere in the World, 24/7. Unlike some agents, we do not charge for this service. What’s more, we list all available rental properties on Rightmove – many lettings agents do not offer this service; with us, it’s FREE.
Weekend viewing service
If necessary, we offer a weekend accompanied viewing service for empty properties; this is particularly useful for prospective tenants who are unable to view during the week, and helps us let more properties. There is no extra charge for this service.
Dependable contractor and maintenance services
We use only approved contractors for the repair and maintenance of properties under our management care. These have been selected for their reliability and quality of service; we are so confident in them, that we use them for work on our own premises too!
Safety Certificates
We can arrange for reliable contractors to carry out the various safety checks on rented property which the law requires. It’s all part of our complete lettings service.
Rent collection and property management
If you just want us to find you a tenant, that’s fine. But if you would like us to collect the rent and manage the property for you, that’s fine too! If we manage your property, we also ensure that the security deposit is held in accordance with the legal requirements of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme – there is no extra charge for this useful service. Just talk through the flexible range of services available with our lettings staff, and we will do as much – or as little- as you need.
Guaranteed Rent Scheme and Credit Referencing
Landlords who come to us can gain the reassurance of having their rental guaranteed – at no cost to you for the first 6 months. We use an established and reputable company to credit check all applicants for tenancies. Rent guarantee can be renewed to continue landlord protection. We will be happy to discuss with you all aspects of rent guarantee and legal protection in more detail.
Financial Peace of Mind for Landlords and Tenants
Our six-figure Indemnity Cover gives landlords and tenants alike the security of knowing that all money which we hold, including rent and security deposits, is safe in our hands. Every year, the media carry stories of letting agents which have closed down, leaving clients thousands of pounds out of pocket. With D B Roberts & Partners that just cannot happen. Furthermore, all client money is held in separate client accounts, as required by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, of which we are a member firm.
Comprehensive Financial Reporting
As part of our normal service to landlords, we offer an annual fiscal Disbursement Statement, detailing gross rent received, together with all deductions and net rents paid to your nominated account(s). This can easily be used to help you complete your tax return, and is in addition to a monthly Disbursement Statement, which clearly identifies the period for which rent has been paid and itemises all deductions made in that particular month (eg. repairs etc.) in order to arrive at the net figure.
Overseas Resident Landlords
We can help you in your dealings with the UK tax authorities as regards your UK rental income. Our accounts department is well used to dealing with ex-patriot landlords; you are in safe hands with us. And, of course, we communicate by e-mail.
Personal service of a high standard
Our reputation for service and reliability has been established over 40 years of trading. Why not give us a try – let us take the hassle out of property rental for you, as we have for hundreds of other landlords. We can tailor our service to meet your needs.
And it doesn’t cost a fortune!
You could be forgiven for thinking that such an extensive quality service will be reflected in our fees. But in fact, our charges are extremely competitive, and guaranteed to you in writing right from the start. And, of course, our lettings service is on a No Let-No Fee basis, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by coming to D B Roberts & Partners Lettings Services.
