Let with confidence.
A smarter way to let in Wales
Letting a property today requires more than simply finding a Contract Holder. It demands strong marketing, clear communication and a confident understanding of Welsh legislation.
Independent. Impartial. Focused on You.
We are an independent agency and do not own or manage our own rental portfolio. That means our priorities are clear: your property and your investment always come first.
Flexible services, built around you
We offer a range of lettings services, allowing you to choose the level of support that suits your circumstances. Our services can include:
Property marketing and promotion
Professional photography
Contract Holder matching and accompanied viewings
Referencing and guarantor checks
Occupation contract preparation
Rent collection and financial administration
Property inspections and inventories
Repairs and maintenance coordination
Deposit protection within an approved scheme
Whether you’re looking for a let-only service or full property management, we tailor our approach so you only pay for the level of support you require.
Compliance you can rely on
Letting property in Wales comes with defined legal responsibilities. All landlord services are delivered in line with current Welsh legislation, including the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. We provide clear guidance to help landlords meet their obligations confidently and correctly.
Where we manage your property, we support compliance with key requirements such as occupation contracts, deposit protection, prescribed information and ongoing management standards.
Rent Smart Wales
All landlords in Wales must be registered with Rent Smart Wales. Landlords who carry out letting or management activities themselves must also be licensed.
Where we provide a fully managed service, we can operate under our own Rent Smart Wales licence for letting and management activities on your behalf. Landlord registration, however, remains a legal requirement.
If you are unsure what applies to you, we are happy to guide you through the process.
Rent guarantee (Optional)
We are able to offer Rent Guarantee protection through a third-party provider (arranged and administered by Let Alliance and underwritten by AmTrust Europe Limited).
What is rent guarantee?
Rent Guarantee is an insurance-based product designed to help protect landlords in the event that a Contract Holder fails to pay rent or breaches the occupation contract, subject to the provider’s terms, conditions and underwriting criteria.
This product is optional and is not a legal requirement. Availability, eligibility, exclusions and cover limits are determined by the insurer.
Full policy documentation and suitability information can be provided upon request.
Support that continues
Our role does not end once a property is let.
For managed properties, we provide ongoing support throughout the occupation contract, handling day-to-day management, maintenance coordination, communication and legislative updates where applicable.
Our aim is to make letting straightforward, well-managed and professionally supported.
