We’ve led the market for over 24 years in West Cumbria, have an award wining track record and strong reputation, so you know you can trust us with your property.  We completely understand that landlords join the world of lettings for very different reasons and with this in mind, our services match the differing priorities you have… and if they don’t, our experienced team will talk to you about how we can fit the service to your unique needs.

Our Landlord Services

We have a comprehensive service available for every landlord, no matter where on the investor journey they are.  We fully understand that someone new to property investing, or finding themselves here by accident, may need far more hand-holding than someone who has been a landlord for numerous years, or who has a large portfolio of rental property.  That said, we spend a lot of time ensuring we are completely up to date with everything happening in the lettings market, that we are qualified, continue our professional development and know the law inside out, so that we can always be counted on to make sure you are compliant at all times.

Say hello to Alison, our Lettings Client Services Manager, who has been an essential part of our team since 2014. Although she graduated from University with a BA in Education Studies, Alison decided to follow a different path.

Meet Mel, who takes care of our extensive portfolio of properties. From maintenance and repairs to refurbishments, Mel ensures that our properties are in top shape and ready to be rented out. She also conducts inspections and check-outs, making sure that everything is in order for our tenants. Mel's career journey began as a graduate Hotel and Catering Manager at Marriott Hotels in the bustling city of London. However, her passion for the great outdoors and a desire for a change of pace led her to make the move to the beautiful countryside of Cumbria in 2005. Along the way, she transitioned into roles focused on sales and business development, using her expertise to drive success. Living in West Cumbria has been a dream come true for Mel and her family. They fully embrace the outdoor playground that this region offers, whether it's hiking up the stunning fells or kayaking on the serene lakes. Mel cherishes every moment spent in nature and values the sense of tranquility and adventure it brings.
