Taking The Stress Out of Lettings ... Devon Lettings Ltd was started in September 1995, to handle the Letting & Management of Residential Property within the Mid Devon area and now deals with approximately 500 properties with more than 200 properties under management. The decision to let your property. In the current climate there are a wide variety of reasons why people choose to let their property or purchase a property to let. Many people let their property purely as an investment, possibly to provide an income with the likelihood of also enjoying capital growth on their investment, having bought it solely for that purpose. Some may find, due to the need to move away perhaps for employment reasons, that they can let their property to cover the mortgage and other outgoings, whilst retaining the property they may wish to eventually move back to. References... When we have somebody interested in your property we will discuss their circumstances with you before taking up detailed references. These include past and current landlords/employment, accountants, where applicable, personal references and proof of residency and identification, as well as credit checks. Once the references have been received we will discuss them with you or forward you copies before proceeding. Although these references are taken in good faith they cannot be fool proof and it is the landlords sole decision as to whether to proceed with the tenancy.
