Thinking about letting out your spare room? We offer Let Only or Rent Collection services on rooms, helping maximise your rental income.
Romans have been my letting agent for nearly 10 years, and I cannot fault them. In particular Lisa Fazal could not be more helpful.
I'm seriously impressed with this Estate Agent (I'm a landlord of 15 yrs with property around the country). They clearly have the trust in their prospective tenants to be able to place them with rental property. Our property was accurately valued, photographed, listed and rented within hours to a quality tenant. Great work in the background by Tom Sanderson. I will always use this branch for future lettings.
Me and my wife spoke to the lettings team about our problem tenant (not through Romans but another local agent) and they gave us some really helpful, solid advice even though we were not their landlords. Will definitely be using their services once we have our property back as their knowledge of lettings was far greater than our current agent. We were even offered tea and coffee which we thought was a nice touch!

10 key steps to letting a property
Receiving an accurate price and attracting the right tenants for rental property is vitally important so make sure you choose an experienced local agent.
Consider how much involvement you want to have with your tenant and property, day to day maintenance, monthly rent collection and other responsibilities may affect your current lifestyle in a way you do not want.
Finding the right tenant can be expensive, time consuming and hard work. You want to find a tenant that is in the best position for you. With us, you'll receive high profile advertising and utilise a large tenant database.
We recommend you keep your property as a blank canvas for prospective tenants by keeping the place clean and clutter-free. We accompany all prospective tenants on viewings on your behalf.
Your letting agent can handle all negotiations between you and the prospective tenant. We strive to get you the best rental price, length of contract and tenants.
It is important to run thorough checks on prospective tenants to ensure that your investment will be secure. At Romans, we use strict referencing procedures carried out by independent experts.
This document outlines the agreed responsibilities of both parties. It is important that both tenants and landlords take the time to read this carefully before signing.
An inventory is a detailed list agreed by both parties itemising the contents and condition of the property at the time of the tenant moving in. Romans uses an independent Inventory Service to minimise the risk of any deposit disputes.
Once the deposit has been paid in full, the tenant has secured the property. This deposit is held independently against possible damage to property which can be checked against the inventory at the end of the tenancy.
Small gestures will go a long way in building good relationships with your tenants, leave out instructions to appliances. (This may also mean tenants will be less likely to break the appliance). Want more advice? Contact us and we'll be happy to help.
