SBK Lettings has always had a history of exceptional service. Our teams know the importance of this when it comes to letting a property in any market. Your property is unique so our approach should mirror that. Our cutting edge software is designed to instantly match properties to applicants registered, who are then automatically emailed full details of the property. Once a successful applicant has been found for a property we will raise the tenant’s references from banks, employers, accountants, solicitors, previous landlords and character references as appropriate, together with the credit referencing and prepare the tenancy agreement. We aim to make the process between landlord and tenant flow with ease and transparency.
