A Landlord’s Guide to Letting in Birmingham

New to letting, or looking for a better agent? This guide from Point Four Property Services covers the essentials of letting your property in Birmingham — and how we make it simple.

Let Only or Fully Managed?

Our Let Only service finds and references a quality tenant, prepares the tenancy agreement and inventory, and hands over — ideal if you prefer to manage day to day yourself. Our Fully Managed service (8% of monthly rent) takes care of everything: rent collection, inspections, maintenance and more, with many services included at no extra cost.

Your legal responsibilities

As a landlord you must meet a number of legal obligations, including a valid Gas Safety certificate, an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) of at least band E, electrical safety checks, working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and protecting your tenant’s deposit in a government-approved scheme. We’ll help make sure everything is in order.

Setting the right rent

Pricing your rental correctly attracts good tenants quickly and reduces void periods. We’ll give you an honest, local assessment of what your property should achieve based on current demand in your area.

Finding & referencing tenants

We market your property across the major portals, carry out viewings, and thoroughly reference applicants — checking affordability, employment and references — so you can let with confidence. And in line with the Tenant Fees Act 2019, we charge no tenant fees.
