Tenant Find

As part of the tenant find service from House Estate Agents, we’ll find you a tenant and organise a tenancy agreement. However the landlord will be responsible for collecting the rent and organising any maintenance of the property.  We will get you started with the essentials, leaving you with just the day to day running of the let.
