We will:

• Advise as to the likely rental income.
• Fully market the property through our extensive national websites and search engines to ensure full internet exposure as well as our own website, office foyer, business contacts, established tenant database, regular adverts in the local press, plus use of our social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and our own Blog.
• Hold a key to the property (where required) and organise and undertake viewings at the property.
• Seek out prospective tenants and negotiate an acceptable rental.
• Interviewing prospective tenants and taking up full references including bank reference and employer or previous landlord character reference. Where necessary, additional security would be requested by means of a guarantor. In the case of a company, a full bank reference would be taken.
• Only Tenants who provide satisfactory references will be considered, however subject to your approval, other forms of referencing may be acceptable. Should sharers be considered they will be dealt with on a joint and several basis only.
• Preparing the Tenancy Agreement necessary for the Landlord to gain protection of the relevant Rent and Housing Acts, and renewing the agreement where necessary at the end of the tenancy term. Please note there is an additional charge for this service. Please see table for additional fees.
• Arrange for the Tenant to meet you at the property to check and sign an inventory and hand over the keys. Please note this service can be provided by iConn at an additional cost, please see table for additional fees.
• Collect the first month's rent and then pay to you minus our fee and arrange for the Tenant to pay subsequent rent to you by standing order. Or collect the full term of rent if paid in advance and pay to you minus our fee. Any interest accumulated is retained by iConn Property Management. Any fee owed that exceeds the first month's rental income collected will be invoiced separately.
• Collect and hold the deposit as Stakeholders within the Tenants Deposit Scheme. We take a deposit of a month and a half rent, unless otherwise agreed. Any interest accumulated is retained by iConn Property Management. From 6th April 2007 no Landlord will be able to hold their own deposit for any new tenancies, unless you are registered within the Tenants Deposit Scheme or similar registered scheme. If you would like iConn to hold the deposit, you must either instruct iConn to prepare an Inventory & schedule of condition for an additional cost or provide your own Inventory & schedule of condition which needs to be at a professional standard and agreed by iConn. Please note there is an additional fee for providing an Inventory and Schedule of Condition and for holding the deposit. Please refer to the table for additional fees.
• iConn will not hold any deposit under the TDS Scheme unless a professional Inventory & Schedule of condition is provided.
• Contact you well within the legally required period to establish whether you wish to extend the tenancy, or increase the rental and ensure that all necessary documentation is prepared. Prepare and serve relevant section 21 notices, renewals and addendums. Please note renewals are subject to an additional charge. Please see table for additional fees.
• If iConn has prepared an Inventory & Schedule of condition, transfer the utilities check the Tenant in and out of the property and organise any works required to return the property to its original standard allowing for fair wear and tear. If necessary prepare and agree a schedule of costs relating to any damage or unfair wear and tear prior to releasing the deposit.
• If iConn has not provided an inventory & schedule of condition, arrange with you to release the deposit to the appropriate parties when agreed by both parties at the end of the tenancy.
• Please note under this service, the Landlord is responsible for renewing the annual Gas safety certificate.

The Landlord would remain responsible for all other aspects of the letting including the maintenance of the property and any gas and electrical appliances. If the Landlord has not instructed the Agent to prepare an Inventory & Schedule of condition or has not provided an equally professional agreed Inventory & schedule of condition, the agent reserves the right to decline to protect the deposit under the Tenants Deposit Scheme. The Landlord would be expected to protect the deposit within a regulated deposit scheme and provide evidence of this before the deposit is transferred to the scheme.
