An independent Birmingham letting agent, since 2004
We're an independent agent, not a franchise or a call centre. Our office is at 17 Formans Road, Sparkhill, and we let and manage homes for landlords right across Birmingham, from single buy-to-let flats to portfolios.

Managed lettings: what we do for you
Most of our buy-to-let landlords choose managed. We find the tenant, collect the rent, arrange repairs and keep every certificate and deadline in check, so the property earns without taking up your evenings.
Advertising and finding the tenant; referencing; setting up the tenancy; collecting the rent every month; arranging repairs with our contractors, up to £250 per item without needing to ask you; tracking certificates and deadlines, with reminders; keeping the paperwork right as the rules change; your landlord portal for statements, documents and maintenance.
We inspect every six months, unless you ask us not to, and you can see your statements, documents and repair jobs in your landlord portal whenever you like.
Let only: if you'd rather run it yourself
If you live nearby and you're happy to handle rent, repairs and paperwork yourself, we'll find and reference the tenant and set the tenancy up properly, then hand it over to you.
Advertising and finding the tenant; referencing; setting up the tenancy. After move-in, the tenancy and the paperwork are yours to handle. Utility and council tax changeover is not included and can be added from the list below.
Keeping a buy-to-let legal under the new rules
The new renting rules started on 1 May 2026. Every tenancy became periodic, section 21 ended, and councils can fine up to £7,000, or up to £40,000 for serious or repeat breaches. Parts of Birmingham also need a property licence.
Keeping on top of this is a large part of what a managed letting agent does now. Our guide to the new renting rules and our Birmingham licensing checker cover the details.
Already let? We can take it over
If your current agent is slow to pay rent over or never gets round to repairs, you can move to us mid-tenancy and keep your tenant. See how changing letting agent works.
Taking over a tenancy that's already running: checking every document, fixing what's missing, and moving the file onto our systems. The £75 is only charged for each problem we actually put right.
