If you are considering letting your home or investment property you have come to the right place. We offer a rental services from 'tenant find only' to 'fully managed' and everything in between, details of these service can be found below and a full list of fees is available on our 'lettings fees' page. 

We understand that one size doesn’t fit all in lettings and can be flexible with our property management. We also don’t charge additional fees on top of our contractor call outs like many of our competitors.

When it comes to advertising many agents seem to drop their standards where lettings are concerned, here at Sears & Co we will be offering the same exclusive advertising package that we give to our sales properties so all landlords can expect to see floorplans, wide angle photography and rightmove PREMIUM listings to help reach the largest market of potential tenants.

Having worked in the residential lettings sector for the past 20 years Richard Sears MNAEA has seen every possible scenario and this experience is invaluable when not only searching for a tenant in the first instance but also for the ongoing management of your property. Richard personally carries out letting appraisals and would love to discuss marketing your property in more detail.

If you are looking for a safe pair of hands to manage your portfolio then contact Sears & Co today for a no obligation discussion.
