Guide to letting property

Letting your property doesn’t have to be stressful—at Dourish & Day, we make it simple, seamless, and stress-free. From your first chat with us to handing over the keys to a new tenant, we take care of everything while keeping you in the loop. Here’s what your journey with us looks like:

1. Expert valuation – just 60 minutes of your time

It all starts with a friendly visit from one of our local experts. In about an hour, we’ll assess your property, give you an accurate rental valuation, and offer practical advice on how to attract the best tenants. No jargon, no pressure—just honest guidance to help you make the right choice.

2. Finding the perfect tenant

Once you’re happy to go ahead, we get to work! With access to our app, wherever you are in the world you’re still at the heart of the process. We’ll market your property using high-quality photos and 360 degree video tours to create eye-catching listings on all the major property websites. We take care of all the viewings, so you don’t have to worry about scheduling appointments or showing people around.

3. Thorough tenant checks

We know how important it is to find the right tenant. That’s why we carry out comprehensive referencing, including employment checks, credit history, and previous landlord references—giving you total peace of mind.

4. The legal bits – sorted!

Once a tenant is chosen, we take care of all the paperwork, making sure everything is legally sound and compliant. We also put together a detailed inventory, recording the condition of your property to protect both you and your tenant.

5. Deposit registration & compliance

We handle the deposit registration for you, ensuring everything meets legal requirements. Plus, we provide your tenants with all the necessary documents so that everything is clear, fair, and transparent.

6. Moving day – a smooth transition

Finally, we make the move-in process as smooth and hassle-free as possible. We’ll ensure your tenant has everything they need, and if you’ve chosen our fully managed service, we’ll continue to take care of rent collection, maintenance, and compliance, so you can sit back and relax.
