What Spruce Tree Lettings Do For You We know that your needs will change throughout the year and from one year to the next, which is why we have a flexible approach. We‘re here if you want to talk anything through or need some advice.
Happy tenants stay longer – so we find the most suitable people for your property from the start. Our proactive approach means we sort issues out quickly and seek out ways in which we can help both landlords and tenants. By taking care of both sides – and the properties – we create a stress-free environment for all.
We help landlords by giving advice from our
experience
as both landlords and from working in the residential property sector for more than ten years. Our processes and systems have been designed to deal with any aspect of property management that the landlord doesn’t have the time nor inclination to deal with.
Fast and effective rental collection
We collect rents by Direct Debit, which means we know if there’s an issue with the payment on the day of collection, or earlier if the instruction is cancelled by the tenant. As soon as we are aware of a potential rent issue we contact the tenant in order to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
We place tenants in properties at fair market rents and raise rents each year where appropriate.
Most agents only reconcile their accounts once a month, adding unnecessary delay to the landlord’s payment schedule. We reconcile daily and transfer the funds as soon as they’ve cleared, meaning you receive funds within days, not weeks.
We collect rents by Direct Debit, which means we know if there’s an issue with the payment on the day of collection. As soon as we are aware of a potential rent issue we contact the tenant in order to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
We put our tenants who are in arrears on realistic and affordable payment plans and look at the most appropriate, cost-effective way to collect any arrears.
Maximising income
When your property is empty it is costing you money – we aim to minimise these voids by finding you suitable tenants quickly. Our enhanced suitability criteria means we match the right tenants to the house that best suits them so they’re likely to stay longer.
Properties are advertised online on our website and all major portals, we undertake email marketing, quality brochures are produced plus To Let boards used.

Keeping up with changing legislation
As a landlord you have certain legal obligations to your tenants.

In most cases we can implement any changes seamlessly, which makes life simpler for you.
