Landlords
Would you like to eliminate your tenant headaches, minimise voids and increase your cashflow?
We are local Landlords ourselves who have specialised in managing professional and student HMOs for 18 years. We offer a personalised service and will always go the extra mile to make sure our landlords and tenants feel valued.
We are also happy to let and manage residential properties and welcome portfolio Landlords too.
Knighton Lettings work hard to ensure every property meets our exacting standards in relation to finish and compliance. We choose our tenants very carefully and work hard at providing effective communication to maintain excellent relations between us, our landlords and tenants, which results in a smooth, effective operation and happy clients.
We cover Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire and have expert local knowledge of these areas.
Managing Houses of Multiple Occupation requires a thorough knowledge and understanding of HMO legislation, licensing, and compliance. We are experts in these areas, so if we fully manage your property, you know it’s in safe hands.
Our Landlords
To maintain our high standards, we only accept Landlords whose properties are compliant with current regulations and have the correct licensing in place. Your property will also need to be finished and furnished (if applicable) to a good standard and compliant with fire regulations.
We will check this when conducting our property appraisal.
Not sure if your property is compliant?
Need help with finish and furnishings?
No problem we are experts in knowing what your HMO needs to rent successfully and can offer an advisory service or complete the work for you, so we can attain maximum rent with minimum voids.
