Our letting process in a nutshell

Step 1

Understand the value

When you book your initial appointment on our website, our local property expert will meet with you in person to carry out a free valuation to determine the optimal rental value for your property.

 

Step 2

Showcasing your property

Once the rental value has been agreed, we will arrange for professional photography, videography, floorplans and a virtual tour (as applicable) to showcase your property effectively.

 

Step 3

All-out marketing

We will market your property on our website and major property websites such as Rightmove and Zoopla. Additionally, we’ll make the most of our database and social media platforms to reach even more tenants.

Step 4

Securing the tenancy

Once we receive offers, our agent will work closely with you and the tenant to negotiate the terms and details of the agreement. An official tenancy agreement will then be drafted and shared with all involved parties. Full tenant referencing will be carried out and deposits collected.

 

Step 5

The legals

As a landlord, you must comply with all relevant laws and regulations related to letting a property in the UK. We’ll guide you through the process and ensure your property is fully compliant and protected.

 

Step 6

Completing the rental process

Upon completion of all required paperwork and legal processes, the tenancy agreement will be signed, and a move-in date will be agreed. Our team will arrange for the key handover, and you can welcome your new tenants into the property.

Client Review - Poole

 

 

Inheriting a house is a significant event, especially when the house has been a part of the family for over 60 years.

The journey began with the search for the right estate agent. We met a few, but among them, Chris from Athertons stood out. His approach made us feel more comfortable and at ease compared to the others. This led us to choose Athertons for the sale of our beloved family home.

Chris's guidance was invaluable; he helped us focus on the essentials and the nice-to-haves, which made the decision-making process much clearer.

His support never wavered, regardless of the numerous hurdles we faced, and for that, we are profoundly grateful. If we had another house to sell, we would undoubtedly use Chris's services again.

I cannot recommend Athertons enough!

I have high expectations and am a demanding client. I like to be kept informed regularly (more often than most), expect things to be handled swiftly and efficiently, and value clear, accurate communication.

Athertons not only met these expectations but consistently went above and beyond.

The house sold quickly, and we had an incredible number of viewings – all it takes is one!

Athertons use of technology, from their excellent photographer to their apps and WhatsApp communication, made the entire process seamless and efficient. The two-point contact approach ensured we always had someone available to speak to, which really helped keep everything on track.

I will 1000% use Athertons again and wholeheartedly recommend them to friends and family. They made what can often be a stressful experience feel manageable and, at times, even enjoyable. Thank you for everything!

Chris is simply the best - there is no other agent in Poole (or probably the world) that gives more, cares more and goes above and beyond more.

As a vendor, Chris answered all my relentless questions and treated my property like it was the only property on his books. He is faultless, honest, constructive and will get you the buyer you need through consistency.

There are no words to thank him enough for his efforts with our sale.

I originally came across Athertons when I saw a property on Rightmove that they were selling.

Sam showed me around the property, which turned out to be unsuitable for me. However, Sam came across as professional and knowledgeable.

At that stage, my property had been on the market for over three months with one of the big local agencies who got me lots of viewings but no offers. I therefore terminated the contract with them.

Following the termination, I decided to engage Athertons to manage my sale. Sam came with his photographer. They produced a more professional set of images and a video.

Within a few weeks of engaging Athertons, they had secured a sale at a price very close to my asking price.

The ongoing sales process was managed by Owen. He regularly contacted me to provide updates; he was great at chasing the solicitors on both sides.

I thoroughly recommend Athertons

Chris and his team went above and beyond to provide a first-class service throughout the process of selling.

I can't recommend Athertons highly enough. The sale of my property has just completed.

Owen and Sam were brilliant. The sale of my listed property was certainly not an easy one and they 'held my hand' the whole way through, always at the end of the phone and constantly in touch with updates.

I'm convinced that if it wasn't for them, the sale may have fallen through.

They definitely provide the personal service that you get from a small independent agent.

Always had great experiences with Chris and the team.

They really do go above and beyond. I know if I need the services of an estate agent again,

I wouldn’t hesitate to use them. This is my third time having them act on my behalf.

I both sold my house and found a new property with them.

Chris has been so helpful, proactive with progress updates and always available to help answer any questions I had.

The online tool is great too! Makes viewings and sale progress so much easier to track. Would recommend!

Athertons were great with the sale of our property, in particular Sam and Owen.

Very good communication, polite, easy to contact, even out of hours, and approachable. Queries were answered quickly.

Would definitely recommend over the larger estate agents in the area. Thank you.

Chris and the team provided an exceptional service when selling my property in Hamworthy.

A buyer was found very quickly, and Chris assisted with the liaison between the buyer and me, often going above and beyond to ensure that the sale completed.

I thank the whole team for all their help and support.

Sam and Owen have been exceptional in the whole process of recently selling our property.

The marketing and photos were superb, and communication and professionalism from the Athertons team were first class.

I would highly recommend them if selling/buying.
