Finding Your Perfect Tenant: The Smart Landlord's Guide to Letting Only Services

As a landlord, one of your biggest concerns is finding tenants you can trust to pay rent on time and maintain your property in good condition. But what if you could hand off the tenant sourcing and placement process to professionals while keeping full control of your property management? That's exactly what SCF Property Management's letting only service offers.

What Is a Letting Only Service?

A letting only service focuses exclusively on finding and placing reliable tenants in your property. We handle all the marketing, viewings, tenant screening, and tenancy agreement preparation. Once your new tenant has the keys, the responsibility returns to you. You remain the landlord and manage the property yourself, giving you complete control while we handle the hard work of tenant placement.

Our Simple 4-Step Letting Only Process

• Property Assessment: We evaluate your property and recommend a competitive rental price based on current market conditions.

• Advertise & Schedule Viewings: We create professional listings with high-quality photography and organize viewings with qualified prospective tenants.

• Tenant Selection: We conduct thorough referencing, credit checks, and background checks to ensure you get trustworthy tenants.

• Tenancy Agreement: We draft legally compliant contracts and arrange signatures, ready for move-in.

What's Included in Our Letting Only Service

• Property Marketing: Professional photography and listings on all major property portals to maximize visibility.

• Viewings: Our team organizes and conducts professional viewings with interested prospective tenants.

• Tenant Screening: Comprehensive referencing, credit checks, and background checks to verify tenant reliability.

• Tenancy Agreements: Legally compliant contracts prepared and signed before move-in.

• 28-Day Follow-Up: We conduct a follow-up visit 28 days after the agreement is signed to ensure your new tenant is happy and settling in well.

Competitive, Transparent Pricing

Our letting only service is priced at just £350-£840 per let, or 8-12% of the first year's rent, depending on property type. There are no hidden fees—we provide a full breakdown in writing so you know exactly what you're paying. Optional extras like inventory checks, check-in/check-out services, or deposit registration are available at competitive rates.
