WHY CHOOSE
Tattershalls is an independent lettings and property management specialist, dedicated to offering its clients a responsive and friendly service. We will ensure that each of our clients receives a dedicated service so that they can have complete peace of mind and confidence when renting a new property.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WE ARE
We are proud members of ARLA Propertymark, the Association of Residential Letting Agents. A significant number of our competitors are not licensed as the industry isn’t regulated. This means anyone can operate as an agent without having the recommended knowledge, qualifications or experience to provide a first class service.
WE ONLY
Many of our prospective tenants have invested significant amounts of time and energy to find their perfect property. The next part of the process is moving in and being able to enjoy their time at the property for the duration of the tenancy. Unfortunately, some landlords will only do what is needed to secure a tenant and will do very little else whilst the tenants are in occupation. Part of our promise to our tenants is that we will only work with landlords and recommend their properties if they show a commitment to working with us and their tenants when problems arise. Our track-record of only selecting landlords who look after their properties and respond to their tenants’ needs is a testament to our commitment to getting it right.
WE USE
Our investment in industry-leading management software means that we can easily and accurately produce our tenants’ account statements and monitor rent payments over any given period. Furthermore, by scheduling periodic maintenance and inspections, repairs can be kept to a minimum reducing disruption and unexpected failures.
WE HAVE
OF LANDLORDS AND PROPERTIES
Through our long-established contact base, we have access to a large number of private and professional landlords who live and work in Nottingham, as well as further afield. Many of these landlords are long term investors who have, over the years, built up a valuable portfolio of first-class properties which they want to let to the best tenants. We maintain close contact with all of our clients, even after a tenancy has ended, to understand from them what their future objectives might be. In doing so we have been very successful in matching them with our prospective tenants who might be looking for similarly high quality accommodation on comparable terms.
OUR FEES
We believe in building long-term relationships based upon trust and transparency. Our fees therefore reflect the actual work that we have dedicated (or expect to dedicate) to serving our clients.

1. WHEN DO I PAY MY APPLICATION FEE AND WHAT DOES THIS COVER?
Holding Deposit is one week’s rent. This is to reserve a property. Please Note: This will be withheld if any relevant person (including any guarantor(s)) withdraw from the tenancy, fail a Right-to-Rent check, provide materially significant false or misleading information, or fail to sign their tenancy agreement (and / or Deed of Guarantee) within 15 calendar days (or other Deadline for Agreement as mutually agreed in writing).
2. WHEN DO I NEED TO PAY MY DEPOSIT AND WHERE WILL IT BE PROTECTED?
Your deposit will be due 7 days after submitting your application form. Your deposit will be held in the DPS and you will receive information on this and how to get your deposit back at the end of the tenancy.
3. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MANAGED PROPERTY AND LET ONLY?
Managed Properties are looked after throughout the tenancy by Tattershalls. Tenants simply report any maintenance issues or other problems to info@tattershalls.co.uk and we take care of the problem on the landlord’s behalf. With a large number of properties under management, we have a number of specialist tradesmen working for us on a regular basis, so any problems can be sorted out quickly and efficiently.
Let Only means that we find a tenant for a property and the landlord assumes responsibility for the management thereafter. The tenant will then deal with the landlord directly, paying the landlord rent and contacting the landlord with any problems that may arise.
4. WHAT REFERENCES DO YOU TAKE?
We ask for your current landlord’s details and your current employer’s details. If you have been with either for less than 6 months we will ask for your previous landlord’s and employer’s details also. We do not carry-out credit checks; therefore, we ask for three months’ bank statements in order to reference you. You may also be asked to provide payslips.
5. HOW DO I PAY RENT?
Rent should be paid monthly by standing order from your bank. We ask you to set this up so that it is withdrawn from your account three working days before your rent due date so that it arrives on time.
6. WHO PAYS COUNCIL TAX AND UTILITY BILLS?
Tenants are responsible for all utilities and council tax, unless agreed otherwise. For managed properties we will let the council and the utility companies know that you are moving in and that you will be responsible for opening an account in your name. We will agree meter readings with you at check in and at check out, so that there is no confusion over liabilities.
7. HOW MUCH NOTICE MUST I GIVE WHEN I WANT TO MOVE OUT?
You must always give one months’ notice in line with when you pay your rent. This applies for fixed term and rolling term tenancies.
8. WHAT MUST I DO AT THE END OF MY TENANCY?
As per your tenancy agreement, you will be responsible to pay the check-out fee. This will need to be paid when you hand-in your notice. All properties must be professionally cleaned when tenants vacate. We have details of professional cleaners if you wish to use them. Keys will need to be returned to our office before 5pm on the day of the check-out.
9. WHAT DO I DO IN AN EMERGENCY?
When you rent a property through Tattershalls, you will be given a move-in pack which includes information on what to do in an emergency. All necessary contact details will be included in this pack.
10. WHAT ITEMS OF REPAIR AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR?
All appliances provided by the landlord will be maintained by the landlord unless specified. You are responsible for changing lightbulbs and other small items that are stipulated in your tenancy agreement.
