Why Landlords Prefer to Use Wentworth Estates…

At Wentworth Estates, particular attention and care is given to the homeowners who trust us to let their properties.

As experienced letting agents, we carefully consider all tenant applications and link up the appropriate tenant to the property.

We can offer:

Professional Tenants: (who subject to credit check and references) on variable leases dependent upon the landlord’s criteria and requirements.

For professional tenants, we offer rent guarantee and legal expenses cover.

Alternatively, we have a long-standing and good working relationship with local Council offices.

Rent Deposit Scheme - which guarantees a deposit with Assured Short-Hold (ASH) tenancies of 12 – 24 months.  If deemed necessary, advice can be given on council schemes that help the landlord bring the property to the necessary standard for Council tenants. 

1 to 5 year Leases: which adhere to the Council’s Property Standards.
