At Property Plus Lettings, we believe in tailoring our services to the individual needs of each landlord. For those landlords wishing to be involved in the day to day management of their property portfolio, we offer a Let Only service.
The majority of our clients prefer our Full Property Management service, which is designed to meet the needs of those landlords who prefer not be involved in dealing directly with their tenants.
Our simple aim is to provide a professional quality service, combined with a caring and friendly approach. We understand the importance of your investment and are able to maximize this to the full potential.
