LANDLORD INFORMATION :

Barons let and manage a growing portfolio of furnished and unfurnished properties throughout the Christchurch and the surrounding areas.

We cater for Company, Investor and Private Landlords.

During recent years the lettings market has expanded rapidly along with accompanying legislation.  Landlords can now rent their property safe in the knowledge that they can obtain possession at the end of a tenancy.

We provide landlords with a brochure identifying the legislation relevant to their property and we ensure compliance through our management service.

We are particularly proud of our tenant vetting procedures and know that getting it right at the outset, with careful tenant selections and referencing, can help prevent difficulties throughout the tenancy.

We list here the basic services that we offer landlords and would be delighted to discuss your letting requirements more fully, either at our premises or yours.   For a friendly no obligation meeting or valuation please e-mail or call us today.
