A letting service built around you - not around our processes

Every 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.

Compliance and Peace of Mind

Property compliance is one of the most stressful parts of being a landlord — and one of the areas where mistakes are most costly. Our team manages every legal obligation and certification on your behalf, staying ahead of all legislative changes including the Renters Rights Act so you're never caught out.

Our affiliations include:

  • ARLA Propertymark: Offering professionalism and financial protection through the Client Money Protection Scheme
  • The Property Ombudsman (TPO): Independent dispute resolution
  • Tenancy Deposit Protection Service: Government-backed protection for tenant deposits, with impartial resolution services

    We also stay ahead of all legislative changes — including the Renters Rights Act — so your property remains compliant without you needing to track every regulatory update.

You’re in safe hands
