Two doors,one agency.
Residential lettings and management across north Leeds. Landlords get published fees and compliance handled rather than invoiced. Tenants get a repairs line that a person answers.

Both doors are on this page
No tabs and no toggle. You should be able to see immediately which half is yours and that the other one exists.
Letting and managing your property
Full management or let-only, priced on this page rather than after a valuation. We manage around 180 homes in north Leeds and we do not take instructions outside it.
- Tenant find, referencing and right-to-rent checks
- Deposit protected within the statutory deadline, every time
- Rent collected, chased, and paid on a fixed date
- Compliance certificates tracked and renewed before they lapse
- Repairs approved up to an agreed limit without a phone call
- A statement each month you can hand straight to an accountant
Reporting something, or looking for a home
You are not a customer of ours in the legal sense and you are still the person we speak to most. Repairs are reported to a human, and out of hours there is a real emergency number rather than a form.
- Report a repair by phone, email or in person
- Emergencies answered out of hours, all year
- Your deposit is protected and you get the scheme details in writing
- A copy of the How to Rent guide at the start of every tenancy
- Renewals discussed six weeks before they are due, not on the day
- Available properties listed below

Let agreed properties stay on the list for a fortnight rather than disappearing, so you can see what actually goes and at what rent. Nothing here is a holding deposit trap: you do not pay anything to view.
What we charge owners
Published. An agency that will not quote a management fee before a valuation is an agency pricing your property rather than its own service.
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
Full managementEverything: tenant find, rent collection, repairs, compliance and statements. | 9% of rent |
Let onlyMarketing, viewings, referencing, tenancy agreement and deposit protection. You manage from there. | £650 one-off |
Tenant find on a managed propertyCharged once at the start of a new tenancy, not at every renewal. | £250 |
RenewalNegotiated, documented and re-protected. | No charge |
Inventory and check-inIndependently prepared, photographed and timestamped. | From £120 |
Percentages are of rent actually collected, not of rent due, which means we are not paid for a month you were not. There is no charge for renewals, no annual administration fee, and no mark-up on contractor invoices: you see what the plumber charged.
What the law requires, and who does it
The obligations that fall on a landlord in England. On a full management instruction we track and renew all of them; on let-only they stay with you and we will tell you that plainly at the outset.
Before a tenancy starts
- Right to rent checks on every adult occupier
- Valid gas safety record, if there is gas
- Electrical installation report, renewed at least every five years
- Energy performance certificate, rated E or above
- Working smoke alarms on every storey, carbon monoxide where required
At the start
- Deposit protected in an approved scheme within 30 days
- Prescribed information served on the tenant
- The current How to Rent guide provided
- Copies of the gas, electrical and energy certificates given
- A signed inventory both parties hold
Ongoing
- Gas safety record renewed annually
- Licensing checked where the property or area requires it
- Repairs carried out within statutory timescales
- Deposit re-protected and re-served on renewal
These are the recurring obligations for an assured shorthold tenancy in England and they are given here because a wrong compliance list on a letting agent's page can cost a landlord a penalty and a tenant their protection. They still must be checked against current legislation before this template is published: requirements change, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each differ.
For both sides
I am a tenant. Who do I call about a repair?
The number on this page, in working hours, and it is answered by somebody in the office rather than a queue. Out of hours the same number reaches an emergency line for anything involving water, heat, power or security.
I am a landlord. How quickly do I get paid?
On a fixed date each month, with a statement attached, whether or not everything on your portfolio has cleared. We do not hold rent to smooth our own cashflow.
Do you mark up contractor invoices?
No. You see what the contractor charged and you pay that. Mark-ups on repairs are the least visible fee in this industry and the reason some agencies are enthusiastic about small jobs.
Do you charge tenants fees?
Only what the law permits, which in England is a holding deposit, the tenancy deposit, and specified default fees. There is no charge for viewing, applying, referencing or renewing.
Will you manage a property outside north Leeds?
No. Response times are the whole product in management, and an agency an hour away is an agency that authorises a contractor rather than attending.
The office, and the repairs line
- The office is above the shop, with the entrance on the side street.
- Tenants can walk in during working hours without an appointment.
- For an emergency out of hours, call rather than email. Email is not monitored overnight.
- An emergency means water, heat, power or security. Anything else is dealt with the next working day.
Opening hours
- Monday to Thursday
- 9am to 5.30pm
- Friday
- 9am to 5pm
- Saturday
- Viewings only, by arrangement
- Emergencies
- Same number, out of hours, all year
