"Tara has been managing my property for several years throughout which time it has been consistently let at market rates. Tara takes care of all the issues with the day-to-day running of the property and never fails to find suitable tenants. She knows the market well and can advise on how best to maintain the property. Tara keeps me well informed about maintenance issues, so there are no surprise expenses. Her management fee is well earned."
"I was moving to Ireland at short notice, and wanted to let my property out; I contacted Railton-Meeks they managed everything for me, right from preparing the property to be let through to finding tenants. This was all done at the last minute in a very professional manner, they totally put my mind at rest! I receive an excellent service and would recommend them to all landlords!"
"Thanks for everything-we don’t know what we would do without you! It is difficult to express how happy we are with the service you provide in a couple of sentences!"
"I cannot stress enough how happy we are with the service we receive from Railton-Meeks. They go far beyond the usual service of other letting agents."

Should I let or sell my property?
This will always depend on the individuals circumstances. However it is worth taking the following into consideration when deciding.
If your property was bought relatively recently say in the last 3 years, the chances are it may have lost some of its value. If you can afford to keep hold of it and ride the current storm, then renting the property out and gaining a good rental return will be worth it in the long term. The rental market is growing and there will always be a need for good quality accommodation in South Manchester. The market will pick up and finance will be more readily available, at which point it may be time to put your property back on the market.
Please telephone if you would like to discuss your individual requirements further, and perhaps we can help with your game plan?
