Let & Managed Properties 

Our lettings services

We offer a range of tailored letting services designed for landlords and property owners in Slough and surrounding areas. Whether you opt for our Lettings Only, Rent Collection, or Fully Managed service, we’ll make sure the service is just right for your needs.

Lettings Only

Our focus is on determining the realistic rentable value of your property. Once a suitable tenant is secured and comprehensively referenced, we handle the preparation of the Tenancy Agreement and the collection of a deposit equal to 5 weeks’ rent, along with the first month’s rent in advance. We facilitate the check-in process, using formal inventories provided by a trusted third-party company, and record utility readings, excluding telephone companies. The responsibility for future rent collections, after the tenant has moved in, lies with the landlord.

Rent Collection

We will provide the above service and collect the monthly rent on behalf of the Landlord. Full accounts and statements will be shared and made accessible via our 24/7 online portal, available to all our landlords at no cost.

Fully Managed

Our Fully Managed service is the preferred option for landlords who want a hassle-free experience and complete peace of mind. This package combines the Lettings Only and Rent Collection services with the addition of regular property inspections and full property management. An inspection report will be issued. Gas Safety, EICR, Selective Licence and EPC dates will be monitored on your behalf to ensure the property remains consistently compliant. We can also provide annual statements for tax purposes. Any property issues will be reported to ourselves to discuss with you. There will be no contact necessary between Landlord and Tenant.

Legals matter

Landlords in the UK must adhere to key letting compliance elements to ensure legal adherence. These include obtaining Gas Safety Certificates, registering deposits with approved schemes such as the Tenant Deposit Scheme or Client Money Protection, conducting Energy Performance Certificates (EPC), and complying with a raft of additional standards and regulations.

Staying informed about ever evolving regulations and seeking professional guidance is essential to navigate the dynamic landscape of letting your property in the UK. But it can be overwhelming.

We have experience in letting properties in and around Slough since 1971, so are in a good place to offer advice to first time landlords, or landlords looking to expand their property portfolio. Our lettings team stays up to date with all legal compliance to make sure that our landlords and their properties are protected. This means less stress for you as a landlord, and peace of mind knowing that your Simmons & Son letting agent has it covered.

Landlord insurance for peace of mind

We offer a Specialist Landlord Legal Expenses & Rent Guarantee Insurance that is highly popular with our landlords. Can you afford to rent your home without it?

Even the best of tenants can fall on hard times. In fact, most rent defaults are due to an inability to pay when circumstances change, rather than a refusal. While you may be sympathetic, you still need to receive your rental money.

In the unfortunate event that your tenant defaults on the rental payments, you could become tangled up with rental arrears and legalities in order to get them out of your property. This is not only a lengthy process but one that will undoubtedly leave you out of pocket from not only loss of rental income but also legal expenses.

Certainty in uncertain times

It is worth considering the following:

If your tenant stops paying the rent for say 4 months based on an average rent of £800 then you will be out of pocket by £3,200. Average legal costs to evict a tenant are £800. Loss of income and costs are £4,000.

We recommend to all our Landlord clients to take out the Rent & Legal Protection policy. Should the worst happen then it need not be a disaster – this insurance policy will not only cover your rental income but also your legal expenses.

We do not claim to be insurance experts and we therefore use the insurer Alan Boswell to provide this service. In order to qualify for this cover, a check in and out inventory must also be supplied to have the rent guarantee. Your tenants must have passed our comprehensive referencing process which is also undertaken via the respected reference company Vouch.

Landlord buildings & contents insurance

When letting your property it is vital that you ensure that you are properly insured for both Buildings & Contents. As a Landlord you are exposed to more risks that you may think and a standard household contents policy won’t give you the cover you need. Even if you are letting your property unfurnished, it doesn’t mean that it is empty. We work with providers who design their contents policies especially for Landlords – who let their properties both furnished and unfurnished. Plus don’t forget that insurance premiums for your let property are often tax deductible!

Selling my property

Tell us what you think!

 

 

We have been trying to sell our flat since April 2023 with another agent but no luck. Then we managed to part exchange our flat with a very well know developer who backed out to our disappointment. But then Sarah from B Simmons contacted us that they have a few offers on our flat, as they were initially appointed by the developer. I decided to accept one of the offer and guess what, this was the best decision we made. Sarah, Chloe & Amy were very professional and always managed our expectations and calmed our anxious feelings. They managed to communicate very well and are very approachable and always there to support. We are now in our new home thanks to your support with selling our existing property. Thank you ladies. Kind regards Jatin & Sona.

I've just recently moved into a 1 bed house and flagged a few maintenance issues. Gina has been very efficient and organised in following up each issue as well as kept me updated with every issue. Communication has been on point and these are the small little things that make a big difference when being in a tenant. Thank you, Gina

Sarah and the team were superb at every point, selling a house in troubling times is not an easy job, however, B.Simmons & Sons managed to have our sale complete within 6 months. They understood our needs and timescales and kept us updated throughout. If you are looking for a company that will call you, keep you updated and really care, then I recommend them completely.
