WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
To instruct Wilkins Hammond to commence marketing your property, you will need to arrange an appraisal of your property for letting purposes. This is free of charge and will involve our Property Manager, Mrs Roz Wilkins-Churchill visiting your property and providing advice on rental levels, the local prevailing market, décor, furnishings and any other aspect of the process in respect of which you require further information. Please do not be afraid to ask as it is preferable that you are in possession of all relevant information before proceeding further.
If you have already instructed an appraisal and wish to commence marketing, we request that you complete Parts One, Two and Three of our Landlord Information Form.
Should you have any queries regarding this form and the information requested, please do not hesitate to contact our office where our staff will be pleased to clarify the requirements for you.
