Are you tired of feeling isolated from your letting agent? Here at Mark Stephensons we pride ourselves on our commitment in providing a tailored service to match the needs of every one of our landlords. There is no situation in our 15 years of lettings experience that we aren't able to tackle and we aim to treat every aspect of renting a property in a no-nonsense, efficient and personal way, to make things run as smoothly they can be.

Our lettings team of Claire and Kate are always on hand to deal with any issues and are able to contend with anything that is thrown their way. Both Claire and Kate believe that clear and regular communication is the cornerstone of a successful tenancy from the first viewing all the way through to vacating the property. No matter how big or small the situation, they will always be there to take control of things and make sure all is okay without you lifting a finger.

Don't just take our word for it! Here's what one of our previous landlord's had to say: "I'd never rented a property out before, Mark Stephensons helped me to get everything in place that needed to be in place, filled the property very quickly and dealt with any issues swiftly, which made the experience stress free for me."

The lettings market has increased enormously over the last decade and there is a huge demand for quality rental properties. If you are considering buy-to-let, we can advise you on how to achieve the best returns and what prospective tenants are looking for.

Our aim is to find the right tenant for your property and manage the letting process, so you don’t need to worry about it. We make it our priority to meet each and every prospective tenant and try to build a relationship with them so that they can appreciate your property and work with us through anything that may need to be done. You can select from a fully managed service or a finding tenant only (non-managed) service, depending on the time and budget you have available.

Whether you’re a first-time landlord, or have a long-standing portfolio, we will ensure you and your property are kept up to date with the latest safety and maintenance requirements for rental properties, always working proactively on your behalf. We want our landlords to feel as though there is someone on their side and that if there is anything that you need at any time, we are always there for you to provide guidance and help wherever possible.

Valuing your rental property

With many years’ experience of the rental market in Malton, Pickering and Ryedale, we can provide an accurate rental valuation of your property.

We can advise on the best options for achieving the maximum rental yield, such as whether to offer your property as furnished or unfurnished and the types of tenants you can expect to attract.

Marketing your rental property

We know how important it is to let your property as soon as possible. We will act quickly to produce high quality photographs, floorplans, and listings to ensure your property hits the market straight away.

Your property will be marketed online through our website and Rightmove and as well as the online listings, we also have a database of registered applicants who will be notified about your property helping to achieve maximum exposure to prospective tenants).

We make sure that we have one to one viewings with each and every applicant to build up a relationship with everyone that is interested in your property. By doing this, it means that when we come back to you with our feedback we have as much information to pass on to then decide which applicant to go for.

Letting your property

Once we have received a tenants’ application, we will manage the process from start to finish requesting the relevant references, credit checks and registering the tenant’s deposit with a deposit scheme regulator which we are in regular contact with throughout the process.

When the application process is complete, and we have handed over the keys to the new tenant, we can then continue to manage the property for you, or hand the tenancy agreement over to you.
