Letting agents in Sandbanks

Letting a home on Sandbanks is a decision about the next few years of its use as much as about the rent. Flexie Estate Agents finds and references tenants for houses and beach apartments on the peninsula, prepares every legal document, and talks through the owner's plans before anything is signed. This is the Sandbanks detail behind our letting agents service; the peninsula is described on our Sandbanks area page.

What lets on the peninsula

Harbour-side and Banks Road houses. Let to families relocating to Poole, households whose own house nearby is being rebuilt, and executives on assignment. They want the house, the garden, the garage and the beach, and they stay.

Beach apartments. Two and three-bedroom flats in the blocks behind the sand and at Shore Road, let to couples and older tenants. A lift, a balcony and an allocated space decide the rent.

The pool of tenants is small and the homes are few, so each let is marketed individually: to our register, to relocation contacts and on the portals, with photographs that show the view and the route to the water.

Before you let: the owner's plans

A tenancy now runs with no fixed end date. If you might want the house for family summers, or to sell in the next few years, a tenancy may not be the right choice: a furnished stay of a month or more through the Flexiestays platform keeps the dates in your control. Long term lets in Sandbanks and winter lets in Sandbanks explain that route. Our guide to the Renters' Rights Act for landlords explains the tenancy side.

How we let a Sandbanks home

We value it with comparable lets and the likely tenant in mind; property valuation in Sandbanks explains what moves the figure. We market it, accompany every viewing, reference every adult and any guarantor or employer, take the holding deposit within the one-week cap and draw up a periodic tenancy agreement. The deposit is protected within 30 days and a detailed photographed inventory is taken on the day, which matters in a furnished or high-specification home.

The checks and the paperwork

Gas safety where there is gas, an electrical report no more than five years old, smoke alarms on every storey, carbon monoxide alarms by fixed combustion appliances, an EPC of E or better and Right to Rent checks. Large houses often have more than one boiler, a pool or a hot tub, each with its own servicing. The landlord legal checklist lists every item.
