When looking for property think carefully about your requirements - furnished or unfurnished, parking requirements, proximity to amenities, schools and transport links.

Register your requirements with Robinson and we will actively search for suitable property and email you details. You will also be the first to hear of new properties coming on to the market.

As we offer a very personal service. We will keep your requirements in mind and not bombard you with unsuitable properties.

When you view a property, imagine yourself living there with your furniture etc. What will fit? Are appliances included or do you have your own? What is important to you?

Once you have found the property you like, let the agent know as soon as possible, some properties are snapped up very quickly in the rental market. You will be required to pay an application fee and complete an application form. You will be asked for permission for references to be taken up to verify credit history, previous residence and employment/income. Once these are obtained and approved, you will be offered the tenancy and be required to provide typically, a rent deposit equivalent to 6 weeks rent and one month's rent in advance. This money must be received in cleared funds before occupation of the property.

You will receive the tenancy agreement prior to occupation, read it carefully so that you fully understand your obligations as a tenant. This should then be signed and witnessed.

At the start of the tenancy you will be given an Inventory and Schedule of Condition for the property. It is very important that you check the details in this document and if there are any comments or discrepancies you would like to add, you should inform the landlord or agent within 7 days of occupation.

During the tenancy, managed properties are visited at least every 6 months. You do not have to be present but if you are it is an opportunity to make any comments you have about the property. This is a superficial visit and not a full report on the condition, nor is it an inventory.

It is advisable and some landlords require the property to be professionally cleaned. This would include the carpets and oven/hob. Fridge/freezers should be emptied and cleaned out, freezers defrosted, switched off and door left open.

At the end of the tenancy you will have a check out appointment where the condition and contents of the property will be compared with the original Inventory and Schedule of Condition. Taking into account reasonable wear and tear, any discrepancies will need to be assessed and agreed before release of the deposit.

I was a demanding client, but we worked together to obtain what I regard, particularly with hindsight, as a fantastic price for my property in what was rapidly heading to be a diabolical market. Eddie had some out of the box ideas which worked brilliantly to get me to where I needed to be. If anyone wants an even m ore glowing reference for Eddie, please contact me." Graham & Julia King: "It is a relief to find an estate agent who is professional, expert and operates to the very highest levels of integrity. His values are our values. We have bought/sold two properties through Eddie and frankly we wouldn't go anywhere else." Vanessa & Phil Edwards: "We would thoroughly recommend both selling and buying services provided by Eddie Robinson. Unlike other estate agents, Eddie was trustworthy, professional and very helpful during what can be a stressful situation. In addition, through his buying service, we saved over 10% off the purchase price on our new home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others and when we move house again, we will use his services again." Rob Bayly: "I have been very happy with the service offered by Robinson Letting Agents. They quickly found suitable tenants who have both respected the property and been reliable in paying rent on time. (And have recently extended their tenancy). Melanie has been easy to communicate with and has kept me well informed of relevant issues with the property. While being very approachable there is also a strong business-like attitude that is important in dealing clearly and fairly with tenants. I anticipate a long working relationship with Robinson Letting Agents." Christine Kennedy (based in Canada): "A dream tenant. Thank you for your great service this year." Dave Vernon: "I would be extremely happy to recommend your services, which are of a very high standard and completely satisfactory. Through your excellent level of service, I have complete confidence in the quality of my tenant. Fantastic; I'm really impressed with your service Mel, thank you." Diane Andrews: "Everything went so smoothly and, as far as I know, everything is going great. I haven't heard from our tenants at all, which I assume is a good thing! Looking forward to a quiet year!!" Gareth & Geraldine, Landlords: "As our flat was let within days, we have been recommending your services to people we know in the area who have property to let. We would without hesitation encourage them to contact you." Wil, Landlord based in Australia (after receiving his routine inspection report by email): "I would also like to thank you for your efforts - the service you are providing is invaluable to us. I will most definitely recommend you to others."
