Experts in the rental market
Michael Graham Lettings has 14 offices with busy town centre locations covering Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, and Warwickshire. Our regional network shares one vast database of people, many searching for a property to let just like yours.
We understand the importance of your rental property and are meticulous in our care, taking detailed inventories and making regular inspections. We thoroughly vet all prospective tenants to make sure that the right person moves in and cares for your property.
Our rental valuations are accurate and designed to maximise your rental yield. 95% of our tenants happily extend beyond their originally agreed terms, making costly void periods a rarity.
Landlord Services
Our Lettings team look after individual houses as well as large property portfolios and you can choose the service that best suits your needs:
Fully Managed Service - Our full property management service allows landlords to maximise the return on their investment without getting involved in the day-to-day issues that can be frustrating and time consuming to manage. We organise all the compulsory safety checks, renew certificates and act as a main point of contact for the tenant throughout the tenancy, managing any disputes in the unfortunate case that they arise.
Rent Collection Only - After finding a suitable tenant for you, our Rent Collection Only service hands the reins of property management over to you whilst we collect the rent on your behalf.
Tenant Find Only - With our tenant find only option, we find a suitable tenant and prepare the initial tenancy agreement on your behalf. We then hand the management and rent collection over to the landlord.
Each option comes with our commitment to excellent customer service and tailored advice throughout the tenancy. In person, over the phone or by email we’ll provide all the information you need, whenever you need it.
