Management

* Landlords thousands of miles away

If a Landlord has a property to let, we will provide an up-to-the-minute rental.

In today's specialised market, corporate tenants enjoy generous budgets but in return expect high quality. Kitchens and bathrooms - sensitive areas - must be functional, stylish and of good quality. Décor should be in neutral/pastel tones. Wood floors are much in fashion. Furnishing (if appropriate) should be smart and comfortable.

We know what tenants seek and can advise on all aspects from re-decoration or change of furniture, to full refurbishment and engage contractors to execute the works on your behalf. This will enable Landlords to capitalise on your investment.

* Trouble-free management

A dedicated team have been trained to deal with every aspect of property maintenance from a leaking tap to replacement central heating boiler. They are fully conversant with legal requirements relating to the installation and maintenance of electrical and gas appliances (including the annual certification for central heating boilers) together with legislation governing furnishings. In addition, periodic inspections are carried out and if necessary a report made.

Our aim is to provide a professional service satisfying both landlord and tenant, working hard behind the scenes so our clients can relax and enjoy their investment.

Corporate Home Search Service


  •  To provide a tailored home search service designed to help a corporate employee find a suitable home as effectively and economically as  possible - a home that the employee and his or her family during their time in London.


  •  To negotiate a satisfactory deal for the company and/or employee swiftly and efficiently.


  •  To constantly update all parties on all developments throughout the transaction.


  •  To be available and helpful throughout the whole process.
To this end we offer a free-of-charge corporate service through our network of branches.



In 40+ years specialising in the rental and management of residential properties, we have created an international reputation to major global companies:

including ANZ Bank, Baker & McKenzie, Bank of America, Clifford Chance, Commerzbank, J Walter Thompson, Lloyds TSB, Nomura International, Saatchi & Saatchi, Shearman & Sterling.

All transactions are overseen by one of the firm's directors, which is a great time saver and relieves personnel departments of the complexities of finding homes.



Finding a suitable home is a top priority for anyone moving to a new country. Moving from one home to another can be exciting, but can also be time consuming and challenging and filled with hurdles, which we will help you to overcome. We are happy to provide advance information about the housing market so that expectations are set at a realistic level and provide local area information to assist in identifying suitable locations.

A member of our team will contact you to discuss your hopes, expectations and allay any misgivings you have at the same time identifying your needs: such as type of property, rental level, area, number of bedrooms, bathrooms etc.



One of our experienced team will be delegated to look after each employee and provide one-to-one personal assistance prior and throughout negotiations. Foreign language specialists are available.

We will search through our considerable register and in addition the portfolios of other real estate agents and managing agents so that we may offer virtually all suitable properties and establish a shortlist to satisfy your budget and specification.

(Incidentally, there is no multi-listing of properties in the UK, so our research literally embrace up to 150 local lettings agents for each move.)

Benham and Reeves Residential Lettings -Having selected a shortlist from a choice of hundreds of properties, we will prepare an individual tour of inspection

Having selected a shortlist from a choice of hundreds of properties, we will prepare an individual tour of inspection. Unlike relocation agents, there is no limit to the time made available to you.




Once you have selected a property, we will negotiate terms and thereafter prepare a contract. Your company might have their own lease which the employee must use, if not we will prepare our standard agreement. On or before signing the agreement a statement will be issued embracing the rent agreed and dilapidation deposit.



Prior to moving in, we will assist in transferring utilities into your name.

We would normally arrange an inventory check-in which you should attend to ensure that fixtures and fittings together with décor are as recorded in this document.

Should your shipment not have arrived, we can assist by equipping your home with rental furniture.




During the period of search, should you need temporary accommodation, we can offer a full range of furnished apartments, available to rent for as little as one week at a time, which are more economic and convenient than a hotel alternative.
