Why Elliot Leigh?
High Rental Rates
For over 20 years we have worked in partnership with local authorities and housing associations. So not only are we able to achieve the best possible rent, but also the best possible service.
Maintenance Included
We have a number of in-house specialist contractors such as gas safe engineers and electricians to minimise landlord costs. Plus we have numerous multi trade operatives, painters and cleaners who are all qualified and experienced in their relevant field.
A Certified Company
We have been awarded IS9001:2015 / IS0 14001:2015 and are members of the Property Redress Scheme, ensuring that our service is regarded as excellent and continues to improve.
I have rented out to ElliotLeigh for almost five years. The company is excellent. The money arrives on time every month. On the odd occasion when repairs are needed, they are dealt with promptly . The big question as a landlord is to compare what you are paid elsewhere after commission etc and uncertainty of vacant possession against guaranteed rent.
