Landlords, we at Open House Lancashire know that finding a tenant is a difficult job. You may be more than happy to carry out every element of letting out your property – from viewings to compliance, to leases, management and maintenance. However, you may wish to reach a wider pool of tenants above and beyond those which classified ad sites have to offer.
Thus, we at Open House Lancashire offer versatile Landlord services. Our marketing only is one of the 3 landlord services being offered. This is a limited service for landlords wishing to avail the least!
The more targeted and professional portal sites are subscription based but we are happy to use our portals to advertise your property on your behalf and field all
enquiries directly to you to action accordingly. This will help you have a better reach without investing heftily.
This service comes as a one-off cost and we will market your property on all of the major property portal including Rightmove, Zoopla and Prime Location plus many more.This way you can end up with the most desirable tenant!
Contact us today to see how we can help you find your ideal tenant.
Tenant Find Only
Open House Lancashire understands that different landlords have different demands. Some want to outsource services completely, some partially. We understand this and thus have crafted various landlord services packages for you.
You have a property that needs a tenant, and we can help find you that tenant! You can avail our landlord services for finding a tenant only.
Perhaps you’re comfortable navigating through the legislative requirements of property management, but just need a hand finding yourself a new tenant.
If that’s the case, this might be the right service for you. You’ll deal with one staff member throughout the entire process, guaranteeing a smooth and personal approach to getting your property occupied.
Free Legal Advice
There are over 180 pieces of legislation that may need to be taken in to account when renting a property.
We’ll keep you updated and help ensure you’re compliant.
Professional Photographs
We put in the same effort and attention to detail when marketing a rental property, that we do when marketing a property for sale.
Photographs increase property views online, and quality photos have been proven to increase viewings!
Maximum Exposure
Your property will be listed on Rightmove, Zoopla & primelocation to ensure you get maximum exposure.
Did you know that around 30% of Zoopla’s visitors don’t visit Rightmove when searching for a property?
Independent Referencing
We’ve teamed up with Let Alliance who provide some of the industries most thorough referencing products.
You want good tenants, and we’ll do everything we can do ensure that you get the best!
Comprehensive Inventory
An inventory isn’t just about listing what items are in the house, it must record the condition of the entire property.
Without a thorough inventory it can be very difficult to defend deposit disputes. We’ll make sure you’re as protected as possible!
No Paperwork
We’ll get your set-up with a tenancy provided by one of the industries regulatory bodies. It’s regularly updated to ensure that you don’t get caught out.
We’ll also make sure all required paperwork is served on your tenants prior to the tenancy starting, so that you don’t have to.
Accompanied Move In
Unlike most agents we’ll meet your tenants at the property to do a handover. As we’re open 24/7 we are able to do this out of hours where required.
Whilst on site we’ll ensure that smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are tested as required by law.

The only time you should ever hear from us is when we’re forwarding your rent, or when we’re forwarding over an inspection report. You’ll deal with one staff member for everything from finding a tenant, all the way through to moving them out and dealing with the deposit.
Rent Collection
& Credit Control
We’ll handle all of the financials. From rent collection, through to arrears chasing and contractor payments.

Your statements will be emailed to you (and your accountant if you like…), on the same day that we process your payment.
We’ll help keep you organised, by sending statements promptly.
Regular Property Visits
Property visits don’t just benefit you, they also benefit your tenants! We’ll visit around 6 weeks after your tenant first moves in, and then every 4 months thereafter.
You’ll receive a report after each visit, and if any action is required we’ll advise accordingly.

We don’t believe in charging extra for things that are proven to help sell your property.
Utilities and services
We will manage all services including gas, electric, water and council tax when the tenancy commences and ends.
Meaning no surprising bills.
