We find the tenant. You take it from there.
For landlords who are happy to manage the tenancy themselves but want the right tenant in place, properly referenced, on a proper agreement.
Priced on evidence
We tell you what the property will actually achieve, not the figure that wins the instruction. An over-priced property sits empty, and an empty month costs more than the difference.
Properly referenced
Employment, affordability and previous landlord, every time. Accompanied viewings mean we have met everyone who applies rather than relying on a form.
Set up correctly
A legal tenancy agreement, the first month's rent collected and remitted, and clear guidance on the certificates and consents you need before anyone moves in.
No hidden extras
We find and vet the tenant, handle the initial rent and deposit, and advise on compliance. You take it from there.
See the full fee schedule- Tenant find
- 50% of the first month's rent (60% incl. VAT), subject to a minimum fee of £450 + VAT (£540 incl. VAT)

This is right for you if…
- You live locally and are happy to deal with the tenant directly.
- You have let before and know what the ongoing obligations are.
- You have a contractor you trust for repairs.
- You want the marketing, viewings and referencing done properly but nothing beyond that.
Look at another service if…
- You would rather not chase rent yourself, look at Rent Collection.
- You live away from the property, or travel a lot.
- You want repairs, inspections and compliance handled for you, that is Full Management.
- This is your first let and you would rather not learn the legislation as you go.

What the first two weeks look like
We agree the rent, get the photography and floorplan done, and put the property live on the major portals and in front of our own applicant list at the same time. Viewings are accompanied and we come back to you with real feedback, including when the feedback is that the price is wrong. Once you have chosen an applicant we reference them and prepare the agreement.
Where Tenant Find ends
Our involvement finishes when the tenant moves in and the first month's rent has been passed to you. After that the rent comes to you directly, repairs come to you directly, and the statutory obligations (deposit protection, gas safety, electrical safety, right to rent) sit with you. We will always tell you what those are, but we are not carrying them on this service.
The honest trade-off
Tenant Find is the cheapest way to get a good tenant in, and for an experienced local landlord it is often the right call. It is a false economy for anyone who will not actually do the ongoing work, because an unmanaged tenancy that goes wrong is far more expensive than the management fee would have been. If you are not sure which side of that line you are on, say so when we come out and we will give you a straight answer.
