Dedicated to residential Lettings & Property Management
We are an independent agency specialising solely in residential lettings and property management.
Established in Fareham in 1991 we have served the local area for over 30 years assisting many hundreds of Landlords and Tenants in meeting their property needs.
High standards are important to us which is why we have professional memberships of arla propertymark and The Property Ombudsman this in turn gives our clients added peace of mind.
What sets us apart from the competition is our experience and the many years we’ve worked together as a team ensuring that our clients are given the highest level of customer service. Being a small team means that whoever you talk to will be able to help you and you won’t be passed over to a call centre.
