Professional, comprehensive landlord services

The Frederick Douglas approach

If you want to guarantee the best tenant, the best rent and an efficient and professional service, then appointing Frederick Douglas as your lettings agent is a great place to start.

Frederick Douglas use extensive local knowledge and expertise to help you let your property, providing peace of mind. Experienced in the lettings market, our team offer assistance, feedback and advice throughout the entire lettings process.

We market your property strategically, using different media, to find suitable tenants as efficiently as possible. We arrange viewings at suitable times and accompany prospective tenants on viewings.

You will be informed of all offers received on the property and, once you have agreed an offer, we obtain all relevant references on your behalf. If you are satisfied with the references, we will prepare the relevant type of occupational contract for both you and the tenant to sign.

Landlords also benefit from our excellent contacts within the corporate market and relocation agents. Frederick Douglas aim to secure blue-chip tenants and maximise return for its clients.
