Letting Only Service

When you decide to rent your property through Domans Residential Ltd you are guaranteed customer service from an approved ARLA agent that is second to none. As we are a small family run business we can offer help and advice on a one to one basis, something that is hard to find with larger lettings agents.

In addition to the fresh approach of our service, there’s also a fresh approach to our fees. Unlike larger companies we have fewer overheads. That means we can pass our savings on to you.

If you’ve been a landlord for some time and feel comfortable managing your property and any issues that may arise, you will benefit most from our ‘Letting Only’ service. Letting only fees are charged at one months rental plus VAT inclusive of all paperwork that needs to be served, discounts can be applied so contact us for more details and request our full terms of business with no obligation.

In return for a one off fee we will provide the following:-

As a landlord, there are many things to consider when renting a property, for example, extra insurances and regular safety checks. Domans will ensure the property is up to the required standard and compliance prior to completion, advising you of any discrepancies that may need addressing.

Our aim at Domans Residential Ltd is to make renting your property straight forward and simple but above all to ensure that the only experiences you have with us are positive ones.

If you have any questions or queries relating to any aspect of renting your property, please check our Frequently Asked Questions page or Contact Us for further information.

* Only once in receipt of satisfactory references in all respects will the tenancy proceed. Upon receiving a ‘acceptable for tenancy’ reference can the ‘Rent & Legal Expenses’ Warranty be offered and we can be set up if required. Please ask a member of staff for a leaflet or more information. Domans Residential Ltd will issue the warranty upon request and you should notify us prior to the start of the tenancy, failing to do so may result in no cover for the first 2 months.
