Campus Campaigns
"Don't Forget Cityred", that was the slogan of our campaign last year. We gave out over 15,000 toothbrushes.
Now which other agent goes that far to let your property?
2. Signing up tenants
Experience really counts when it comes to assessing potential tenants. We know what to look out for, and how to make sure you only get quality tenants.
Every prospective tenant is interviewed and only the best candidates are put forward . Guarantors are credit checked and identity verified. References are thoroughly checked and followed up to the highest standard.
3. Helping them move in
We see this as an essential part of our service, especially for first-time tenants. You want happy tenants and so do we, so Cityred will help with:
- Recording a detailed property inventory
- Getting utilities connected in the tenant's name
- Advice on Council Tax, if required
- Reminding them to get a TV licence
- Bin collection times
- Furniture and redecorating requests
- Local lifestyle, transport links & useful resources
4. Our maintenance policy
Our philosophy is simple: we treat your property as if it was our own. So when it comes to maintenance issues we take a sensible, 3-stage approach:
- URGENT Speaks for itself, so we'll take action within 24 hours.
- NON-URGENT For non-urgent incidents, we'll respond within 7 working days.
- SPECIAL REQUESTS Such as new furniture or a request to redecorate. Tenants are asked to give full details in writing, which we will pass on to the landlord for consideration.
