Letting property with Foxes

As a landlord, you need an agent who understands both the property market and the practicalities of letting and as landlords ourselves, that is exactly what we offer.

We understand, because we are landlords too

From tailored marketing and thorough referencing through to ongoing property management, our team handles the details so you do not have to, whatever your portfolio looks like.

Local and independent since 1996

We bring genuine local knowledge and decades of combined experience to every instruction, backed by honest, straightforward communication throughout Bournemouth, Poole, Ferndown and the surrounding areas.

A guide to letting property

The process starts with a free rental valuation, where an experienced local agent assesses your property, taking into account its condition, location and current rental demand across Bournemouth, Poole, Ferndown and the surrounding area, to recommend a realistic, achievable rent. This is also a good opportunity to ask questions and understand the options available, from a simple let only service through to a fully managed arrangement.

Before marketing begins, it is worth making sure your property meets all current legal requirements, including gas safety, electrical safety and energy performance standards. Our team can talk you through exactly what is required so nothing catches you out later, and can point you towards trusted local contractors if any certificates or checks are outstanding.

With everything in place, we market your property professionally, using quality photography and clear descriptions across the major portals, to attract genuine, well qualified applicants quickly. Viewings are arranged and managed on your behalf, saving you the time and hassle of coordinating them yourself.

Once interest comes in, we begin the referencing process for prospective tenants, checking income, employment, credit history and previous landlord references, giving you real confidence in who you are letting your property to before any agreement is signed.

We prepare the tenancy agreement and handle the move in administration, including deposit registration, inventory and collecting the first month's rent. If you choose our property management service, we will continue looking after the day to day running of the tenancy on your behalf, from rent collection to arranging repairs.

Frequently asked questions

1. What safety checks do I need as a landlord?

As a minimum, you will need a valid gas safety certificate (if gas in the property), electrical safety checks, and an up to date Energy Performance Certificate. Our team can advise on exactly what applies to your specific property.

2. Do I need a licence to let my property?

This depends on your property type and local council area, some properties require a specific licence, particularly HMOs. We can advise whether this applies to you before marketing begins.

3. What is the difference between let only and managed?

Let only covers finding and referencing a tenant, after which you manage the tenancy and all of the legal compliance yourself. Managed means we handle the ongoing day to day, from rent collection to repairs, throughout the tenancy.
