Which service is right for you

We understand that every landlord and property is unique, so we’ll work with you to design a service that suits your needs. You can choose from our three suggested service levels. Or talk to us about creating something bespoke.

We offer three core service levels depending on how hands-on or hands-off you want to be:

Fully Managed

15% of monthly rent (inc. VAT)

Our most comprehensive service. In addition to everything above, we take care of:

  • Twice-yearly property inspections
  • Organising repairs and maintenance
  • Acting as the main point of contact for tenants
  • Managing end-of-tenancy processes including deposit negotiations

This service is ideal if you want a completely hands-off experience with full peace of mind.

Rent Collection

12% of monthly rent (inc. VAT)

This includes everything from our Tenant Find service, with the added benefit of:

  • Monthly rent collection
  • Arrears management
  • Holding keys for the tenancy duration
    A great choice if you’re happy to manage the property but want help handling rent and payments.

Tenant Find

£600 (inc. VAT)

Ideal if you’d like help finding the right tenant, then take over the management yourself.

We’ll handle marketing, viewings, tenant referencing, and tenancy setup. You’ll also get compliance guidance and support with deposit and utility setup. Optional extras like deposit protection and inventory can be added as needed.

We also offer:

  • Rent & Legal Protection – for peace of mind and added security
  • Buildings and Contents insurance – specially designed for the rental market

A superb team who are very professional and super efficient, where nothing is too much trouble. Any issues or queries are dealt with immediately, with you being kept informed along the way. Being new to the area, their wealth of knowledge has been immeasurable to myself and my family. We have settled in very well, many thanks, ladies. I would most definitely recommend Lines and James.

I have dealt with Lines and James as a novice landlady, and finally selling my property through them. The amazing staff have guided me through the problems along the way, and I can't praise all the staff enough in all aspects. Always there with good knowledge and advice when I needed it. Ladies, thank you so much for all your help over the years. I very much appreciate it.

Lines and James have let two properties for us over the last 8 years and have always provided excellent service, being friendly, efficient and a pleasure to deal with. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lines and James to both landlords and tenants.

The wonderful ladies over at Lines and James have been nothing but brilliant from the start. They have always gone above and beyond to suit my needs and offer the best experience I as a tenant could receive. After some unfortunate news with another agency I was left at square one and that's when I was made aware of a listing that I was interested in. From my first viewing I was impressed with the accomodation and was keen to move into this apartment. This also being the first time I have ever moved into my own place. Upon being offered the place, everything was smooth sailing from there. And upon my first viewing of my new place my socks were blown off. The entire apartment had be professionally renovated and now looks the bees knees.
Now almost 2 months into the tenancy there have been a couple hick-ups but a simple call to lines and James and the wonderful girls are on the case.
They were able to get a plumber to me in 9 minutes and that was the most impressive feat I've experienced this year.
The previous agency I had delt with before lines and James were very unprofessional and had me in a bidding war with others to try and secure properties despite a solid listing price.
Now settling down more and more every day I know that lines and James are a trust worthy company who have been fantastic from start until now and hopefully far into my tenancy. I am greatly appreciative of all they have done to make me feel welcome and knowledgeable in the world of letting.

Highly recommended. Lines & James have looked after my rental property for nearly two decades. Nothing is too much trouble. They always find great tenants. Have a good network of trusted contractors to get issues resolved quickly. As a family run business they take extra special care - a personal touch that you simply don't get elsewhere. The definition of good customer service.
