The rent arrives. You keep the rest of the control.
Everything in Tenant Find, plus we demand, collect and remit the rent each month, so the one job that causes the most friction is not yours.
Collected and remitted
Rent is demanded, collected and paid over to you each month, with a statement so you can see exactly what came in and what came off it.
Chased when it is late
Late rent gets chased by us rather than by you. Being the person who has to ask a tenant for money is the part most landlords least enjoy, and it is the part that damages the relationship.
A clean paper trail
Every payment recorded and every chase logged, which matters a great deal if arrears ever have to be dealt with formally.
No hidden extras

This is right for you if…
- You want the money side handled but are happy to deal with repairs yourself.
- You are local enough to attend the property when something needs doing.
- You would rather not have the monthly conversation about rent with your tenant.
- You want a proper record of payments without keeping the spreadsheet yourself.
Look at another service if…
- You want arrears pursued formally and notices served, that is Full Management.
- You want inspections and a written report on the property's condition.
- You do not want to arrange repairs or hold the contractor relationships.
- You are away from the property for long stretches.

What we do each month
The rent is demanded on the due date, collected, and remitted to you with a statement. If it does not arrive, we chase it: by the method most likely to work rather than by sending the same email three times. You are told early rather than at the point it has become a problem, because arrears are far easier to resolve in week one than in month three.
Where Rent Collection stops
We collect and chase, but formally pursuing non-payment, serving notices, handling deposit disputes and assisting with possession proceedings all sit on Full Management. So do inspections, repairs and rent reviews. If a tenancy deteriorates, this service will tell you about it clearly, but acting on it is still yours to do.
Why most landlords end up moving up
Rent Collection suits a settled tenancy with a good tenant in a property that does not need much. It is when something goes wrong (a boiler in February, a tenant who stops answering, a deposit disagreement at check-out) that landlords find the gap. There is no penalty for moving between services, and we would rather tell you that now than sell you the cheaper option and watch it not fit.
