Letting agents in Parkstone

Parkstone lets all year to people who work in Poole: hospital staff a walk across Poole Park from Longfleet Road, professionals who take the train from Parkstone station, families near the grammar schools. Flexie Estate Agents finds, references and moves in tenants across both halves of the suburb, and manages the lets landlords hand over. This is the Parkstone detail behind our letting agents service; the suburb is on our Parkstone area page.

What lets in Parkstone

• Villa flats near Ashley Cross (BH14). One and two-bedroom conversions and newer blocks. Professionals, couples and hospital staff; the walk to the station and the green is the selling point.
• Family houses towards Poole Park and Whitecliff (BH14). Three and four bedrooms with gardens. Families for the schools and the park.
• Terraces off Ashley Road (BH12, BH14). Two and three bedrooms near the supermarkets and buses. Young families and staff on a budget.
• Larger Upper Parkstone houses near the university. Sometimes let to sharers, subject to licensing.

How we let a Parkstone property

Valuation. A rent range with the reasons: the walk to Ashley Cross or the station, parking, condition and the likely tenant. See property valuation in Parkstone.

Marketing. Photographs, a floor plan, the portals, flexiestays.com and our register of tenants, which includes hospital staff and relocating households. The listing states parking honestly.

Viewings and referencing. Accompanied viewings, a holding deposit within the one-week cap, and full referencing for every adult. Rental bidding is banned, so we take offers at the advertised rent.

Move in. A periodic tenancy agreement, the deposit protected within 30 days, the prescribed information and How to Rent guide served, and a photographed inventory.

Hospital staff as tenants

Poole Hospital staff are among Parkstone's steadiest tenants. Many work shifts, so a quiet bedroom, blackout blinds and a parking space count for more than a view. Agency and newly appointed staff often need to move in within weeks of accepting a post, so a ready, referenced let suits them well.

The legal checks

Gas safety where there is gas, an electrical report no more than five years old, smoke alarms on every storey, carbon monoxide alarms where needed, an EPC of E or better and Right to Rent checks. Older villas often need electrical work at the first report, so we book it early. Our guide to EPC rules for landlords covers the energy rating, and the landlord legal checklist lists every item.

Management, furnished stays and selling

With full management we also inspect, arrange repairs and renew certificates: property management in Parkstone. A furnished flat near the station or the hospital can instead take people on placements and contracts for a month or more: long term lets in Parkstone and winter lets in Parkstone.
