We are well known and respected in Tilehurst and Reading in general for the quality of our lettings service. The lettings team of Ron Westbury & Nikki Gardner live locally and are very knowledgeable about property in the Reading area . With years of experience behind us, we have developed a great rapport with both our landlords and tenants.

We specialise in full property management and deal with a broad spectrum of homes in the lettings market around Reading. Our landlords look to us to find good, reliable tenants and for us to provide a fully inclusive, fuss-free, ‘leave everything to us’ service.

We are friendly, approachable and helpful and we strive for happy landlords and tenants. We can advise on the latest legislation, both local and national, so all parties are fully aware of their rights and obligations to ensure a trouble-free let. Clear, open and honest communication is an essential part of this service.

Our lettings team are supported in the property maintenance side of the operation by a team of local, reliable, price-sensitive workmen. In addition, we are happy to work with the landlord’s own preferred trades people if required.
