Have used Romans as a landlord for 7 years. The lettings management team are superb, especially Donna who has been brilliant. I have had some dififcult tennants lately which she has dealt with easily. I also had some remediation work needed doing which she handled with ease and got the house back up to a very professional standard. Can't recommend enough, takes as much of the stress of being a landlord out as possible.
I would highly recommend Romans to anyone looking to rent out their property. As a first time landlord, the advice and help I have received has been excellent. Thank you to the team for letting my property out so quickly and for making the whole process seamless.
I recently rented my flat out through Romans and I have to say it was the most painless process - everyone I dealt with was really efficient, friendly and really made it a pleasure to do business with! My flat was rented out within 24hrs of Romans listing it and even the paperwork process was seamless I would highly recommend.

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.
