43 High Street, Taunton,TA1 3PN t: 01823 284455  f :01823 351077 e: info@castlemoat.co.uk LETTINGS SERVICES FULL LETTING We offer free rental valuations, recommend types of tenancy, whether to let furnished or unfurnished, and offer advice on legal matters relating to the letting of your property. We will market your property without charge, introduce suitable tenants, show prospective tenants your property, and undertake a thorough check of all references both financial and personal. We draw up the legal assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements, which can be tailored to suit your individual needs and satisfy current legislation, in particular the protection of the Landlord's right to repossession. An inventory and schedule of condition is prepared in all cases, listing all furniture and effects together with their condition and that of the decorations, fittings etc, and is included in our initial fees. All tenants are required to pay a deposit prior to the commencement of each tenancy, amounting to a sum in excess of the rent, which will be held by this agency during the tenancy. The deposit must now be returned within 10 days of conclusion of the tenancy. Consequentially it is essential that this procedure is acted on as soon as the tenant has vacated the property. If any landlord wish to view/inspect the property he/she should do so at this time. Rent is payable monthly in advance, with a monthly credit transfer to the landlord, bank or building society account. All payments to the Landlords will be made within 5 days of cleared funds being received. All clients have an individual detailed computerised ledger account and receive a detailed statement every month showing all rent received, property out-goings paid and balances credited to their bank account. All accounts are subject to annual inspection by Chartered accountants. We will pay, from the clients account where requested and if applicable, property out- goings such as insurance premiums and repairs. We will deal with all day to day problems and queries raised by tenants' building societies, banks, solicitors, statutory bodies, etc. We will deal with minor repairs including placing orders, checking work and payment of accounts. Larger maintenance and repairs would be subject to confirmation by the landlord, as would re-decoration. We inspect the property at appropriate intervals during the tenancy, advising on maintenance matters, and then we check the property at the end of the tenancy to ensure that the tenant's obligations have been fulfilled. We can arrange insurance to cover legal protection for landlords of Assured Shorthold Tenancies. Special arrangements for income tax apply to overseas landlords and Inland Revenue literature can be provided on request.   LETTING ONLY For those who wish to manage the day to day running of their property themselves we offer a letting service whereby we will not be involved in the handling of repairs and out goings, nor will we carry out regular property inspections. We will however collect the first month's rent together with the tenant's share of fees and the deposit, which we will hold until the end of the tenancy if asked to do so. The tenant will pay subsequent rents directly to the landlord.
