5.0/5 from 251 reviewsEvery landlord we work with gets a dedicated point of contact who knows their property, understands their priorities and is reachable directly — not through a call centre. Whether you own one property or a portfolio of twelve, you'll receive the same senior-level attention and a letting strategy tailored specifically to your circumstances.
We let 214 properties across Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding villages last year — securing £3.8M in rental income for our landlords, with an average of just 12 days to find a qualified tenant. With 386 tenants actively registered and searching right now, your property won't sit empty.

Our People
Every member of our team lives in Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding villages. That's not a line on a website — it means your dedicated contact knows the roads your property is on, the type of tenants who want to live there, and the local factors that affect rental value street by street. You won't be managed remotely. You'll be looked after locally.
From Southborough to Speldhurst, Langton Green to Pembury — we know the rental market in every corner of our area. We understand which properties attract young professionals, which attract families, which command a premium for school catchments, and which benefit most from certain improvements before letting. That granular local knowledge is what gets you the right tenant, at the right rent, in the shortest time.
With ARLA Propertymark accreditation and over 100 years of combined local letting experience, our team has navigated every market condition — rising rents, legislative change, the pandemic and today's tightening regulatory environment. We stay ahead of every change so you don't have to. Your property is in experienced, qualified hands.
We listen first. Then we act.
Marketing and Innovation
The very best marketing for the very best homes
We don't use generic listings. Every property we market receives a tailored campaign — professional photography, a compelling description that tells the story of your home, and premium placement across all four major portals. Before we go live, we also match your property against our database of 386 pre-registered tenants who are actively searching right now. In many cases your tenant is already waiting before your listing goes public.
No let, no fee. We only earn when you do. That means our incentive is always to find you the best possible tenant at the best possible rent, in the shortest time. Our average is 12 days. Our 14-day guarantee means if we don't deliver, your fee is reduced.
Through Street.co.uk, you have 24/7 access to everything happening with your property — viewings, tenant feedback, maintenance requests, compliance documents and financial statements. One dashboard, full visibility, always. Over 50% of property enquiries happen outside office hours. With our platform running around the clock, we never miss one.
We treat every property as individual — because it is. Our photographers are handpicked specialists who have photographed some of the finest homes in the South East, and they work exclusively for us in this area. Every shoot is tailored to your property's character, whether that's a period cottage in Langton Green or a contemporary apartment near the station.
We advertise on all four major portals — Rightmove, Zoopla, PrimeLocation and OnTheMarket — as well as our own website and targeted social campaigns. Most letting agents choose one or two portals. We choose all of them, because every portal you're not on is a tenant you're not reaching.

We switched to Kings Estates after issues with our previous agent. The difference was immediate. Communication improved, management became far more proactive, and issues that had dragged on for weeks were resolved quickly. It took the stress out of being a landlord entirely.
“Attention to all the details and a great, professional, value for money service”
We read reviews about Kings Estates before choosing them and can confirm they live up to their 5-star rating! They provide great attention to detail, a professional approach, and excellent value for money—exactly what we wanted in a letting agent.

For most landlords, yes — particularly post-Renters’ Rights Act. A single possession error, missed compliance deadline, or arrears situation handled incorrectly can cost more than a full year of management fees. Fully managed means a professional team handles every stage, every deadline, and every escalation.
We contact tenants immediately after any missed payment. Formal notices are issued correctly and on time — because an error at this stage can invalidate a future possession claim. Where escalation is required, we work with specialist legal partners and guide you through every step.
The Renters’ Rights Act abolishes Section 21 no-fault evictions and converts tenancies to periodic from the outset. Possession now requires a valid legal ground with correct notices and documentation. Kings Estates has updated all tenancy processes accordingly. Read our full guide →
Our average let time is 14 days from instruction to tenant move-in, supported by 386 pre-registered tenants actively looking in the Tunbridge Wells area. A faster let means less void, more income. Book a valuation and ask about our current applicant register →
