Letting your property is a chance to make the most financially of your home or a property you may have bought as an investment.

You want a lettings service which not only helps you to find the right tenant at the highest rent but one which can also be trusted to care for your property and handle professionally and diligently those aspects of the tenant relationship that you wish to outsource.

Berkeleys can find and look after the right tenant using a combination of our knowledge of the local rentals market and our know-how in marketing and property management. All backed-up by first class customer service and care.

Our superior market knowledge - at your service

Knowledge is a critical factor in achieving the best rental yield and we're confident that we understand the local rentals market better than anyone else.

Our cutting edge is based on the local knowledge of our staff combined with our ability to apply technology in new ways to the property market, building research tools both for our clients and staff.  

Using our custom-built YOUeye tool, we can better judge demand & supply for property in an area, track local valuation trends and pinpoint the right comparable transactions which are so critical to achieving the best yield for you. When marketing properties to potential tenants, it’s crucial to be aware of an area's special character and the local nuances which can create differences in the rental rates of two comparable properties only a short distance apart. So, we pioneered the idea of defined ‘villages' within an area, allowing future tenants to really explore all that’s good about the area surrounding your property.

We’ll devise a marketing strategy to match your financial goals and timescales and then present your property with maximum exposure to the right audience of high quality tenants.  We’ll then use our negotiating experience to get you the best rental rate.
