Rental and Management Rodgers & Browne estate agents based in Holywood, Northern Ireland

Renting a property for investment or as a 'reluctant landlord' needs careful, precise and professional attention.

There are considerable regulations to comply with and associated paperwork.

We provide a fully managed service which removes owners all compliance issues and looks after the entire process from marketing your property to tenant application and preparation and execution of lease documents. We also carry out periodic inspections of your property during the tenancy and organise any repair issues which may arise. For those who wish to have a more 'hands on' approach we also offer a 'Let Only' service where after a suitable tenant has been found and checked in to the property, the landlord assumes responsibility for day to day management.

As bank and building society interest rates havefallen, many have turned to purchasing property to rent out as a more attractive form of investment.

However, this is something that requires careful management in order to comply with a raft of rules and regulations and also to protect your investment.

We offer a specialised service designed to offer accurate advice in this notoriously difficult area of estate agency. Our mission is to provide personal, professional and trustworthy advice, backed up by a high level of expertise to our high standards.

Please call Stephen Crawford or email rentals@rodgersandbrowne.co.uk for assistance with this very specialised aspect of our business.
