Haslams: the ideal choice for property investors
Why choose Haslams? Because we’re market experts in property letting.
Our lettings and customer relations teams understand the needs of property investors – matching tenants and landlords to create profitable relationships.
We can help you find the right tenants as well as manage your properties and give you expert advice.
Gain the strength and knowledge of our team
Our lettings team is already the strongest in the area as our testimonials prove. The division is supported by Haslams’ sales teams to bring you extensive knowledge of the property market. This puts us in a unique position to help you maximise your opportunities.
In an industry that’s been highly regulated in recent years, the knowledge of our team supports landlords in navigating new legislation and ensuring their rental properties adhere to legal requirements.
By partnering with Haslams, you can be sure of the highest professional standards.
Benefit from our advice on legal regulations
As a landlord, there are certain legal requirements you must comply with such as maintaining your property and undertaking any major repairs that are needed. This includes anything that affects the structure and exterior of the building as well as electrical, heating, hot water and sanitary conditions.
The Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 specify landlords must make available, free of charge, a valid energy performance certificate (EPC) to any prospective tenant at the earliest opportunity. And this must be commissioned before a property is marketed.
There are also rules that apply to gas and electrical safety, soft furnishings, tenants with disabilities and shared houses. Our professional team can assist you with all of these requirements.
Let us source the right tenants
With lettings, it’s not always about obtaining the highest rents (though we can help with that too). We also take the time to understand you and your needs; that way we can match you with the perfect tenants.
Reading is a lettings hotspot, with more lettable properties per square mile than practically anywhere outside central London. It’s home to young and energetic employers – and has a population that’s growing all the time.
By leveraging our tenant database, which is one of the biggest and best in the region, we can find the ideal tenants for your property.
Take advantage of our management services
Whether you’re a first-time landlord or an experienced property investor, we can offer a service that’s suited to your requirements.
It’s vital to maintain properties, so they keep their appeal. We can take care of general wear and tear such as replacing fixtures and fittings if they’re worn or broken, painting walls and replacing carpets where required.
We also deal swiftly and efficiently with any issues that arise with the property, including plumbing, electrical, and appliance-related problems. Plus, we make sure gardens are kept tidy and regularly maintained.
In essence, we act as an extension of your own operation, providing a fully-managed, ARLA-qualified, end-to-end lettings service, including full management reporting.
Managing three flats / tenants has its challenges and Haslams meets them all for me. They use their initiative when I am not contactable; responding to tenant, maintenance and my queries promptly; and keeping me and all the admin up-to-date. Haslams has given marvellous service for over ten years now. – Mike Fenning
Sign up for a 3-year fixed fee deal
We want our landlords to have peace of mind; safe in the knowledge that their management fee won’t be increased any time soon.
That’s why, when you sign up to our fully managed lettings service, we’ll fix your management fee for 3 years as standard. It’s all part of the service.
