I have been renting a flat with Romans for the last 5 years now. In general the service is good. But recently I had an issue which required an urgent resolution. I called the office and Sarah George was absolutely superb. Sarah was not just polite but showed real interred in my situation, arranged for the appropriate contractor to come to my place immediately and the issue was resolved in a few hours. The next day, Sarah also checked with me if everything was fine. High level professionalism.
We have dealt with Jacob at Romans Maidenhead a couple of times and can honestly say he is one of the most professional estate agents we have come across. Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.
Absolutely amazing service! Very professional in every step. I want to thank you to Alf, especially for his excellent customer service and professional approach. Would highly recommend them to my family and friends.
Results matter

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.
