Accepting An Offer

As soon as a tenant commits to making an offer on your property, Cox and Company will take all of the relevant information from them to help you make an informed decision in principle.  It’s then down to you to consider their application before we carry out thorough references.

Referencing

Cox and Company employs an independent professional referencing agent to perform background checks on potential tenants, so you can be sure that there are no conflicts of interest.  A thorough check is carried out on credit history, employment and general suitability to provide you with a report and recommendations.

Preparing Your Property For A Tenancy

Once you have secured a tenant that you are comfortable with granting a tenancy to, your next step should be ensuring that you present the property to them to a standard that you would be happy to move into yourself.  There are of course a number of legal inspections required, such as Gas Safety Inspections and Portable Appliance Testing to consider, which Cox and Company can help you to arrange.  But just as importantly, you should provide the property to your first tenant at least in a clean and functioning condition.  If there are a few jobs around the house that you have been meaning to get round to, think about it now so that your tenants can enjoy a comfortable and hassle free tenancy.

Move In

Book an appointment for your tenants to attend during which, your tenants can sign all of the paperwork, pay their first month’s rent etc and collect their keys.  At Cox and Company, we believe that both Landlord/Agent and Tenant should use this time to ask questions about the agreement and receive guidance about what to do next, like spending some time checking through their Home Inventory for example.  Hand over the keys and let your tenants enjoy their new home.
